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
Man, I'm excited I broke 8,000 yesterday, which was more than the previous 3 days combined. Jazy is disappointed with more than 12k.
Keep it up--it will give me more incentive to get back on the train. Ran nearly 3.5 miles at my son's soccer practice yesterday, but had literally 600 steps all day before that. Just can't get moving during the "regular" day.
16932 today, much better
Slow today, didnt walk last night, worked all day and plopped on the couch for games tonight. 4213
Wednesday and Thursday started the down hill slide as I expected and then it crashed hard Friday and Saturday. 13,313 Wednesday and 11,470 Thursday which wasn't terrible but my average for the month was 15,300 before Wednesday. In Frankfort for continuing ed Friday and Saturday, 3602 Friday, 8093 Saturday. Probably going to be a little under 8000 at end of day today. Dropped my average for the month down to 14,400 and I really wanted to keep it above 15,000. Plugged in numbers and will need 33,000 tomorrow to get back up to 15. I'm off and will be working around the house. Tomorrow might be the push I need to go the park and run tomorrow night and try to get the numbers up.
15,113 on Friday, 13,846 Saturday and 10,113 yesterday - a downward trend, but still well over a 10K average. I was pretty tired yesterday so I cut my workout short. I'm surprised I made it to 10K, but thought my legs needed some rest, at least comparted to the 15K average I had been on in the previous 10 days or so.
We'll see what today brings, but if I get can over 10K again, preferably over 12K, I will be pretty happy. I can always do better, of course, but it would be much much easier to do worse.
Got back up yesterday , 17643. Played my usual Sunday afternoon golf and walked a lot between shots vs the cart. Walked 3.2 miles last night and had to push thru the last .6 as my left knee was hurting which it does after I play on Sunday. Last 7 days I averaged 14135. But I ate too much bad stuff so the weight didnt come off, didnt go up. I am still doing a good job of portions at meals, just need to watch the sweets.
Flounder, how is your weight coming and how far is your walk home from work?
My walk home is about 45 minutes and I'm guessing about 2 miles. it takes about 4700 steps from the street outside my building, though I've never measured exactly.
My weight is pretty steady right now, which is good considering I've had trouble with my evening meals, particulary the last few days. In the past I probably would have gained a couple of pounds, but I'm doing enough to keep it off. I need to do better, but I am much better than I was in the past so I just need to keep plugging away.
17342 today, good day but had to cut walk short
Good job flounder, long walk home
Well I made the effort but I didn't quite make it. Worked around the house all day, then went to the park and ran 3 miles (1st time in almost 3 months) and walked 2. Came home and took the dogs for a walk too but finishing the day 29,300. Monthly average came out at 14,904. Throw out the 3,000 day Friday and I would have been at 15,290 so I'm good with how I finished. Going to use finishing below 15 as motivation next month to finish above.
Well today was interesting. As most know my 24 hours starts at 9 pm so I walked last night after 9 pm. Then up at 5 am and down to deer camp for a work day which we did, a lot. Had cramps in both legs about a mile from the house on the way home. Hot today, sweated a ton and was dragging when I left. Drank 5 bottles of water.
Steps, record".."...........24065. Going to bed very soon, and no I didn't walk tonight after I took my wife to eat :)
Awesome jazyd! Had a good first 3 days of the month so far, 16,287 Tuesday, 19,383 yesterday and gonna have right at 18,000 today.
bad day Fri, back was really hurting so no walking and more sitting than normal but still go to 10641. Today isn't any better, won't get to 8000 the way it looks. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, should have a big day. State Fair is here and taking the granddaughters, trouble is whatever I gain on exercise I will lose at the fried oreo stand, cotton candy, chicken on a stick, and who knows what. LOL
Well, I have been more active walking than I have on this thread :) lately. The last few days: 12,572, 13,447, 16,280, 10,341, 15021 and 15,757. Nothing spectuar on the high side, but nothing really bad either. It is actually a bit more consistent than I realized and I think that's pretty good. Maybe I need to try to push it up another notch soon, but I'm pretty happy with the exercise I'm getting
I have meetings tonight & Thursday this week, so staying 10K plus may be tough, but I will try.
I also just purchased a new pedometer through a program at work and that will have an online program I will be able to use to make tracking easier. Hopefully it arrives soon.
Did get to 10769 on sat which surprised me. Yesterday wasn't as good as I expected at the Fair but came home and shut down, 10342. Got to get back going again
Back over 13,000 again at 13,453. Great walking on these cool nights. Hit another goal, list 17 but went under another weight mark
Had a really good first week of the month, 17,204 Friday, 21,103 Saturday, 22,295 Sunday, 15,465 Monday. Dropped under 15 for 1st time this month with 13,558 today but still pretty happy so far. Really hoped to go longer before having a day where I dropped below 15,000 but that's really hard to do without specifically doing stairs, running, walking 2-3 miles. 2-3 hours driving today and not much till I got home about 2:30. Blew leaves on yard, cut the grass and washed a vehicle and still came up short! Congrats on the weight loos jazyd. I've toned up some, especially the legs, but still haven't really lost any weight yet which is kind of a bummer. Thought I would have seen better results by now but part of the trouble is not eating as well as I should be. Still snacking at night more than I should.
good day yesterday, 17632, but today is off as I have something tonight and might not walk. Weight is coming off slowly, but like you Ash, haven't eaten exactly like I should. but that is okay as I still eat some junk and keep that craving down.
Had a pretty good last week, still keeping pace above the goal for the month, wed 14588, thur 18346, fri 21730, sat 20688, sun 18213, mon 13802. gonna be in the low 14's today most likely. Where ya at Darrell, haven't heard from you in a couple of weeks? Don't fall off the wagon, let's keep encouraging each other to keep at this!
Ashcat, you nailed it. I have fallen so hard it's embarrassing. If I posted my steps you would think I've been sick in bed, they are so low.Quote:

ok, been out for a bit. Went fishing in south louisiana last week from Fri until late Sunday nite and didn't take it with me because I wasn't going to be doing much walking. But the 3 of us did catch 22 reds..thought it was 19...12 specs, plus bought some fresh shrimp off the boat for $4 a pound, 16-20 count :)
Then had eye surgery monday morning and was asleep all afternoon, and had two doctor appointments yesterday plus watched the Cards last night.
So back at it tonight if the rain holds off, right after a shrimp dinner.
