Good job. Because I walked earlier last night I got to 11,322 today and lost bout 400 when I forgot the thing when we went to the movie. Came home and rested. Will get back at it tomorrow play golf after church
God job by all this week
QUOTE=UKFlounder;109438]A new high today - 20,235 as of now though I may get a couple hundred more tonight. E and rested but willI'm not sure my legs will let me do much tomorrow. I'll be happy if I can half of today's total, but time will tell[/QUOTE]
Horrible week. Had 8777 yesterday, ended up walking to ballpark and to Railroad Park twice last night, or it would have been horrible, too. That was my 2nd highest of the week.
This week will be better. I am just so sedentary with my work, I have to do "things" to fix it.

13457 yesterday which was okay. Didnt walk last night as I was really tired. Walked this morning but quit after 2 miles, knee was hurting, twisted yesterday ATF the golf course. 12781 today
Great day today 20011, 17800 yesterday. This has been great motivation for me since I joined in. Went back to 1st of this month and my average has been 15,200 daily. Now I find myself trying to get to the 15000 mark each day. took the dogs for a walk around the block the other night at 9:30 cause I was about 1000 short for the day. Haven't really seen much weight loss yet but I'm confident that it will come soon. Been doing stairs at work during lunch and the jeans definitely are fitting better. Up from 6 reps to 10 on the stairs and walking a lot more during the day at work.
Darrell why not take 10 min in the morning and afternoon and get away from the desk and walk. Good for the mind and body

I'm an electronic technician at a steel mill. Work on a production line that runs 24/7. Line is about a half mile long from one end to the other with one section that is 4 stories high. Have a daily routine that I do and then we are on call for repairs/breakdowns during the shift. Line runs really well and basically we are insurance policy, when we're not busy we're making money, when we're down and we're working we're losing money. Have an office/shop but can basically be anywhere on line at any time so I have a lot of freedom. When I'm trying to get some exercise I do the stairs a few times on my lunch time, usually 8-10 times. I then walk through the basement to cool down. Can also walk outside along the river road that is between line and the Ohio during good weather. It's really not a problem to get 10,000 steps in at work by just getting out and walking around during the day. I also have a home inspection business on the outside so do a lot of walking when I'm doing inspections also.
busy man. My routine is similiar in that I own a retail store with my wife so I am up and moving all day, in the store, in the stockroom, out on errands, over to the whse. 10,000 isn't a problem if I pay attention and 12,000 has gotten easier with me walking 5 nights a week, or in the morning.
I am more aware of moving now with this challenge, getting up ofen instead of sitting, walking 5 days a week, watching what I eat and how much, trying to average 14,000 steps a day with a goal of 15,000 per day.

Yes, had been reasonably satisfied with the 10,000 a day till I got involved on here, along with deciding it was time to get back into shape. I never really let myself get too far out of shape, when I get lazy and creep up to around 210 that's usually when I get motivated and get it back down to the mid 190"s. Going to try to do better than that this time.
You are absolutely right, it is something I just need to do. I always feel better with that kind of break anyway.Quote:

I shouldn't have talked. Tanked yesterday, 8432. Long day at work, 8am until 9 pm. Had no help other than my wife and I until 2:30 and she had to leave until 5:30 when a sales rep came. When she left at 9 pm my back was hurting a lot so home to a ice lack and no walking. Still hurts this am but will walk tonight, period
OK, I didn't want to post everyday so here are the weekly numbers. Week #1 averaged 23714 with a high of 28945 and low of 10075. Week #2 averaged 24767, 30053 high & 9892 low. Week #3 averaged 25461, 8924 low (Sunday) and 31895 high (morning classes, practice tournament referee in the afternoon and late night out Saturday)
Wow Jgirl, that's impressive. Had 15700 yesterday but only had 8300 today. Off work and did 3 inspections then church tonight. Too much driving and not enough walking. Thought about going to park and jogging tonight but had too much paperwork to do. Guess this is my "Off" day. Only my 2nd day in 3 weeks under 10000. Tomorrow's going to be similar to today so I'll have to do something tomorrow evening to get my numbers up.
Got back up to 15000 today, back to walking 2.6 miles, felt good. But I did jump when I saw a18" snake crawling across the road in the dark righ infront of me. Didnt know I could move that fast.
Not going to follow that plan.Quote:

11,700 yesterday, back to work today and got back up to 15,000. Should be a good weekend coming up.
Bad day today, didnt walk last night because of rain and didnt feel great at work so didnt move around much. Only 7546 today
An okay week of walking, though not so good on my diet.
18,423 steps yesterday, 11,104 Friday, 10,318 on Thursday, 10,058 Wednesday, 6915 Tuesday and 10,300 on Monday. I'll try to get 10,000 plus today as well
17538 yesterday and 17032 today. Gonna try to keep the numbers up this week cause next weekend is gonna be bad I'm afraid. Got continuing education classes Friday and Saturday in Frankfort. Haven't done very well eating this weekend either. Daughters were in and the wife made a cake that I couldn't stay out of. Also had some funnel cake at the festival last night.
15,162 on Sunday then a surprising 15,509 Monday.
I don't know that I'll get that many today, but I am still happy to get 10,000+. In a normal work day, I'll get around 4,500, so to get 10,000 requires effort to get the other 5500 or so either by walking home, going to the gym or something like that, so if I get 10,000 it means I have made that effort. More is better of course, but 10K is still a good, reasonable and productive goal for me.
15683 on Sunday which was good for me because I couldn't walk late sat night because of rain, and yesterday was a good day, 17434 which like Flounder took some effort.
today will be good, short of help at work so I am up alot, going to a school for a fitting, then several errands all over town.
writing here is my therapy and keeping me engaged. lol
18,053 yesterday and 21,094 today. Good 2 days but not so sure about rest of the week the way things are looking. Gonna be tough to keep the high numbers up rest of the week the way things are shaping up.
15,509 on Monday and 16,717, which are high numbers for me for weekdays. I might take a break today and "only" get around 10K, but I'll see how I feel tonight when I get home.
17233 yesterday but that took a lot of effort including roaming the whole Home Depot store :). For some reason struggled walking last night. I have a bad back, two ruptured discs in my lower back, and I now take a frozen bottle of water when I walk. I put it between my low back where I have knots in the muscle and my waist band. It numbs that muscle and puts pressure on it. It helps
I am at about 6400 steps.
This week. Including Monday and Tuesday and today.
I have to get back on track.

Disappointed yesterday and surprised at 10324, really thought it was much more
But did go 3.1 miles last night. Bad backs are a funny thing. As I said yesterday, tues night I struggled to go 2.6 miles as my back was really hurting but last night did 3.1 and could have gone another mile but didnt want to over due it, did not hurt one bit
11,087 on Wednesday and 17,637 yesterday. Hopefully I keep the 15K+ numbers coming, at least on the weekend, but I am very happy with my efforts.
Average for last 7 days (not counting today) = 15,091
Disappointed again yesterday, 12173 but made it thru 3.1 miles walking and up 5 big hills. But the weight has hit a plateau
