Wow, you jumped in with a bang. Didnt hit my goal of 12,000 but came close. I find myself taking extra steps to get my totals up. Got my walk I tonight so I have 4000 to start my new day. My rest day is Friday, get steps I but don't walk. I am getting stronger on my walk, finished tonight and not breathing hard, will increase it a little tomorrow, if I don't go to the Braves AA game here.

I may get some OT hours the next couple days, so that might cut into my walking time, but I'll see what I can do
Worked on walkway again today so I got 11,109. Would guess that it would have been up in the 15,000 range but I laid my phone on the window sill the first two and a half hours this morning. :sad0119:
You guys challenged me, did 14478 today. What helped was having two people out sick today so my wife and I were by ourselves and we were busy so I was walking all over the store and didnt sit until 2 pm when one of our high school girls came in. Feeling better walking each night and next week will increase my distance again, will try 2 miles
10,869 yesterday and over 11,500 tonight, but may have a slower weekend coming up
14,400 yesterday and 16145 today. I have increased how far I walk. I don't warn flounder to get me on weight. I did blow it yesterday, fell victim to a Big Mac and fries. Lo,
16,027 today, just about done.
Had DQ blizzard birthday cake (Mrs. D's birthday), which killed any effort I made (ran 6 miles while son had soccer practice this afternoon).
Only did 5,409 today. Broke my string of 5 straight over 10,000. But my reason for not getting the 10,000 was justified! Spent the day (7:30 to 4:00) on Grayson Lake with my 81 year old Dad catching Crappie!! Only get to do that a couple of times a year. What a Great Day!!
That's worth about 20,000 steps :)Quote:

My goal is 3 miles a night, 4-5 nights a week. Need to lose a lot of weight, will help my back deal with those 2 ruptured discs instead of surgery
Had a horrible week until last 2 days. Just over 11,000 today. Love those 14,000+ days, but if I get over 10k any day, it's a home run.

Walking at night is where I get my numbers up. My day starts at 9 pm so I walk at 9:05 which gets me 5968 tonight to start my day
Did 13,736 yesterday. Working on the walkway still so a lot of back and forth. Had a really good week!
Really good start, took me 3 weeks to get here

I am tournament director of a volleyball tournament today. I am nearly 5,000 steps from 7:30 - 9:30 a.m. alone. Should be a good day without exercising.

But Darrell, you are moving and that is important. Your original titel was how sedentary are you, so moving like that is not sedentary. Just like a lot of my steps are at our store, constantly moving which is good for me.

Edit..finished with 14136, and no "exercise." I really wish I had a job where I could get that kind of walking in. I sat a fair amount yesterday, too, but had to go to different courts all day, including the auxiliary gym, and I guess the steps added up.
16,432 today but didnt walk tonight. Played golf this afternoon in 99 degree heat and zapped me. Barely ate anything for dinner, not 200 calories I would imagine. I just couldn't eat after that heat.
Just think, if you had been Rick Pitino you could have walked around on the water and done both... ;) Well at least we all know he'd have tried it. :DQuote:

12,434 Saturday, 14,120 Sunday, 10,862 today. But my vacation is over and back to work tomorrow. Don't do as much walking at work so I'm really going to have to work at keeping up over 10,000 now.
Slow weekend (and ome bad eating too) but did get back over 11,600 yesterday and have over 10,000 today, so still happy with it overall
2807 today, and have to make exam for tomorrow tonight, so won't get a walk in tonight. Pitiful.

10,246. Made it, barely!!
12,437 today which surprised me since I didnt walk last night. But when I went to our storage facility today I did a few laps to get in 1000 steps, then walked to before my 9pm cutoff and after so I have 3200 already for Wednesday. Really watched how much I ate this weekend
This thread has really given me a boost. Last week on vacation I was able to really put some effort into jogging and walking. I logged 41 miles for the week and averaged over 12,800 steps each day. And finally.................after 7 weeks of no weight loss, I dropped 3 lbs. This weeks it's back to work and sitting in day long meetings. I'll be lucky to average 7,000 steps this week.
Mick. You sounded like you were walking yesterday morning
Good work Mick!
I'm trying to get to the point that I don't sound out of breath when I am on the phone.Quote:

12,131 today. Was fairly busy at work today so did better than usual there. Still working outside around the walkway.
12456 today. My new day started at 9 pm and I walked 2.5 miles, didnt know if I could make it because my back and legs were sore and had a leg cramp in the middle of last night.
Lost 12# so far, not what I Had hoped but a start.
It's good we are ll pushing each other, all of us with one exception...the one who started this :)....are averaging over 12,000 a day.
Hey, I'm just glad I'm helping others. I live to serve :).
I did not walk last night, by the way. It was 10 and I was beat and went to bed. I also knew I would get out in the sun today and do my jog/walk routine for an hour, 40 minutes in the sun, and figured no need of pushing it.
3,122 yesterday. Very, very sedentary--unless I do something.
