I understand the hip flare ups from walking. I took a long walk today & now am in pain. Time for yoga! We are hip issue gals! Not the best club to be in!

I think I have to stop recording steps for December. I’ve gotten too far behind. Lots of stress this month with mom sick and having to wrap up a semester of teaching. My mom seems to be improving, so hopefully things will get better. I’m going to drop food off at her door today. She lives an hour and a half away, so I’ve…

4,345 steps today 12/07 14,509 steps on 12/06 I weighed in on Saturday- 193 - down 1 lb. I haven’t been posting much - my 85 year old mom has Covid & I’m very stressed. I haven’t been tracking my food, but I’ve been eating well. I sound like a downer. I’m okay - winding down the semester which feels fabulous! I used my…

Hi Everyone. November wasn't good for me, but I'm about the same as where I was at the end of October. @Megan_smartiepants1970 count me in for the step challenge. I want to walk 10,000 steps a day. Today 12/02 = 10, 982 steps Yesterday 12/01 = 12, 230 steps I teach English to immigrants and refugees. I am 57 and a mom to…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 11/28 = 12,405 steps 11/27= 10,510 steps Am I missing more days? Thanksgiving put me in a slump - haven’t posted my calories or anything! Down 1 lb. Now 193 My daughter returned from college, so I’m spending time with her. Also really busy with work. My standing desk came in today. Hopefully we’ll…

Monday 11/23 = 10,042 steps I walked to my new chiropractor's office today. She is a different type of chiropractor - she uses the Cox method. I don't really know what that is, but I feel great today. My calorie intake was good too. I also drank a lot of water. So - overall it was a great day with one small exception. My…

I hope so too. I'm looking forward to it. It also is an early Xmas gift - I told my husband he could give it to me - lol.

Saturday, Nov. 21 steps = 11, 908 Sunday, Nov. 21 steps = 7,110 Weigh in was Saturday. I was 194. I think I am down, but I have been playing the yo-yo game. It's not a fun game - I don't recommend it. I know I haven't been doing well because I have been in pain. Then I self-medicate like many of you. I just ordered a…

Thursday, Nov. 19 steps = 5, 543 Friday, Nov. 20 steps = 9,254 I walked a lot today because my son had his wisdom teeth out and I waited on him. Got him gauze, made him soup, took his medicine to him, made sure he drank some liquids . . . My hips aren't perfect, but they're better. A friend told me to get a standing desk.…

Steps =4,087 I am trying to move as little as possible due to hip pain. It’s working! The pain is better today. Just did “Yoga with Adrienne for hips.” It helps a lot. Tomorrow I’m back at the chiropractor. If I feel well tomorrow I might try my stationary bike. I really want to walk because I teach from home & I need to…

My hips hurt! I have decided not to walk for 3 days. I went to the chiropractor last week and am going this week. I’m doing yoga too. So —- today’s steps = 4,383 Nov. 16

11/11 Steps = 10,177 But it is COLD outside! I saw a friend while I was walking & even though I don’t see many friends these days I couldn’t chat long - I was shaking. We had beautiful weather for a week & now we’re back to normal November weather - brrrr. Calories- good day today! Relaxation??? Bad - Somedays I work too…

11/09 = 13,854 steps Under calories! I walked & did Zumba We have been so lucky that our weather has been lovely. It’s turning cold tomorrow. I’ll need to find more indoor activities. I need to plan healthy meals - I know that’s key.

Sunday, Nov.8 19,393 steps!! I walked 5 miles with a friend & cleaned my house. My hips are killing me from all the walking. Going to do some yoga to stretch them.

Nov. 1 = 13,005 steps I walked 3 1/2 miles with my husband today. It was cold & windy, but I was glad to be outside. I work from home now & I need to get out . I bought snow shoes for my husband & myself for Christmas, so hopefully we can get some exercise with them. Actually, I’d prefer to have no snow than to be able to…

10/26 - steps = 10,694 Over calories today - but not by much Talked to my sister while I walked tonight & she was walking too. It was a great way to catch up. Normally I talk with my 85 year old mother while I walk because I tell her what’s happening in my neighborhood. It’s hard to come up with topics on daily basis, but…

Information from Saturday, Oct. 24 Steps = 12,304 Weigh in day 193 SW = 196 PW=194 It's a slow process, but it's working. I enjoy reading all these posts.
