The Gransnet 10,000 steps a day club

Amazing, Chloe, you deserve a slap-up Hotel dinner after that - with no guilt!

All time personal best for me 17507 not sure I will be able to move from this hotel room to the dining room as my feet are throbbing!

Hooray! My pedometer is fit and well again. It was a pain having to go through the set-up once more, but it's all done.
I have now sewn little pockets into my exercise trousers, so an hour's class adds about 4,000 for the active part of Legs, Bums, Tums ,or 6,000 for Body Attack.

On, dear shysal . How is your pedometer this morning?

Managed 11869 yesterday. It it was a bit strange as RunKeeper on my phone says I had walked a couple of miles more than the pedometer. RunKeeper works on GPS but the pedometer on movements and is set to my shortish stride. I can only think that as I was walking with my husband I was taking bigger strides. Will test that out sometime.

I think I totalled around 13-14,000 yesterday. I can't tell you exactly because my pedometer is drying out after being dropped in the cats' water bowl! I have removed the battery and put it in the airing cupboard. This has worked in the past with a mobile phone , so hope it will work again soon.
Congratulations Iam64! Hope your feet are recovering.

Well done everybody else, only 9,722 for me today not quite there, I'll walk about a bit before bedtime.

12754 - I finally did it, and joined he 10,000 a day club. I'm icing my feet right now though…..

11700 for me today Cari hope all is better soon

And to you Cari, get mended soon!

I have not stopped today, went to buy paint for garden project, church stuff, assisting DH with aforementioned project etc etc. Just checked and I have done a measly2474 . I suppose it shows how important it is to actually walk, rather than just be "busy". Ah well, onwards and upwards! Going to Wisley tomorrow with a friend and we shall be leaving scorch marks on the paths as we notch up those steps (or maybe not coffee and cake will call loudly too!)

How annoying for you Cari! Last autumn I over-extended a knee when my heel went down a pothole buried under leaves. It still aches all the time. These things are so easily done, with long lasting consequences. I hope you heal quickly.

I managed 13,919 steps yesterday and have already exceeded 10,000 today. Hoping to double it by the end of the day.

Only 2219 for me yesterday. But most of that was up and down the stepladder with the loppers so it was tiring, though not big on steps. Better total today expected.

Oops Cari, how painful. Take care and get others to bring you things, like cake and drink .

Oh! My ears and whiskers! How painful. Was it the same leg you hurt last year?

Watch out for mad hatters, duchesses and stoned caterpillars when you next venture out.

10,116 for yesterday agree with others, some days it's a real effort. Not sure what today will bring having granddaughter later so probably can't inflict too long a walk on her.

Only 9712 for me yesterday am aiming for a longish walk later but am away for a few days next week hotel dining rooms always a risk. Versa I am happy to know that I am not alone and will happily have you as a role model we can lead the way together

9,850 on Saturday - here's hoping those tight jeans fit slightly better if I'm able to maintain these increased levels of walking. I used to do 12,000 with no problems, but then, I was a younger woman…..

chloe you must be using me as your role model!

10023 for me yesterday can only agree that sometimes my motivation is at rock bottom doesn't take a lot for me to blow the whole day and sit and read whilst eating everything in sight. Logging in each day keeps me from giving it up altogether. With the colder weather approaching I know I need to keep motivated otherwise I will sit huddled in several jumpers all day every day moaning about the cold and how fat I am getting. So will keep on keeping on.

Ive also got a chart on the fridge which I find helps me too, but l do agree that some days 10,000 steps may as well be a walk to the moon as far as my energy is concerned.

Shysal, it can be a chore feeling very sluggish at the moment hoping a walk will sort me out. Yes I agree logging steps here does keep the momentum going.

It's funny how one day you can wake up with a real spring on your step and other days it's an effort to put one foot in front of the other, I don't know whether that's just me or others feel like it too.

9,800 yesterday, but my feet ache as a result. Onwards and upwards

Interesting to read that logging your progress has helped Versavisa. I have got as far as ordering my pedometer! I hope it will be a fast delivery so I can start next week as my base week, recording - in my diary not for all to see as I think the numbers will be a bit dire -my normal days counts.

10,070 yesterday. Had a lovely walk as we went to see The Tour Of Britain pass through the area. Not as exciting as the Tour De France but still worth seeing.

Yes, I feel that logging progress (or otherwise!) here is encouraging me to persevere. Without this I might not be so motivated, so keep it up everyone and let's see your results.

My aim is to get to 10k everyday for a week. But that seems a long way off at the moment!
