The Gransnet 10,000 steps a day club

9032 today.
You seem to consistently hit or exceed the 10,000 a day TerriBull

Just under 8000 for me today and lots of those were ar 2year old gd's pace, while she pushed her buggy.

11799 for me today. I went out for two longish walks - I guess that is the best way to clock up the numbers! Busy tomorrow so don't think I will be doing so well.

9685 and my clothes feel a quite bit looser even though the scales say I still weigh the same. I'm not doing this to lose weight I'm just trying to keep active. It's definately getting easier....the actual walkng but

Not but but bit!

Back on track with 10,209 yesterday, after resting my hip for a couple of days. I wish my clothes felt looser, Anya ,my weight is static despite alternate day 'fasting' as a permanent way of life and doing 3-4 exercise classes a week.

Keeping the same weight and not putting any on is not so easy as we get older these days. So that's good shysal

My legs must be getting tougher as nothing aches today.

Just over 10,000 for me yesterday so hoping I can keep it up ,finding I am really enjoying being more active and actually seem to have something missing from my day when I don't manage the 10,000.

10,300 for yesterday. I also feel there is something missing when I don't manage 10,000 although there are occasions when it isn't possible and it does require a certain amount of planning to achieve that goal.

I'm the last poster so I can see I'm better than yesterday, just! 10,347. A long walk this morning and a trip to a garden centre this afternoon which clocked up a further 3,000 to bring me up to my total.

Not good for me today only 7734 as my foot or tendon seems to have relapsed but another day tomorrow when I will try to improve

You've all done better than me again' even those with sporting injuries. I only managed a paltry 7446 today.

First time since starting this I managed over 10000. 12585 to be precise. DD and I circumnavigated Virginia Water this afternoon with 4 year old GS and scooter so speed slowish. Nevertheless....
Lovely walking place at this time of year but very busy at weekends and possibly a bit quiet for a solitary walk in the week. Anyone fancy a GN steps club meetup?

Well donepurpledaffodil what a target! only 7260 for me but feel that my tendon thing is getting a little better. Happy to consider a meet up but not sure there are many members from Suffolk/Norfolk but may be surprised.

Didn't quite make it today, had 4 year old granddaughter most of the day and she bought first school reading book with her so spent a lot of the day practicing letters and sounds. Beautiful day however, did get outside some of the time but just didn't walk that much.

TerriBull, I bet she was so pleased to share her book with you. A love of books is a great gift and to be able to share a book with grandma even better.
I have had a sitting down day today and only clocked up about 6,000. oh dear. Well done the rest of you - hope we have a good week ahead.

Purple, Virginia Water sound wonderful, wish I lived closer.
On Saturday I forgot to complete my quota, so only achieved 6129, but did lots of gardening. Made up for it yesterday with 18,345.

How did you manage that Shysal ? That is very impressive! I spent a couple of hours walking round Kingston today and only managed 2,500 so far . Also have to factor in large cappuccino and piece of cake. [piggy emoticon]

Very impressive Shysal & Purple

Only managed 7524 yesterday but have already clocked up 8556 today, walking GS1 to school certainly helps.

Yes. But have you all done your hoovering, dusting and floor washing?

My house doesn't get dirty so no need to vacuum, dust or wash floors. I think it works like a self-clean oven

Mine is the same, Anya! Or is it that I don't wear my reading glasses (except for reading) so I can't see any dirt or dust? Housework comes way down my list of priorities! If I don't worry about it , I am sure nobody else will.
Purple, are you sure your pedometer is working properly? You must have done more than 2,500 in two hours, however slowly you walked.

In recent times I have not been able to get anywhere near 10,000, but have decided that as long as I manage a 30 minute fast walk per day, plus Keep Fit on a Monday and walking up and down our very steep hill most days, I will accept that and not beat myself up too much.

Because our mothers/fathers often led such active lives and had never heard of the 10,000 rule, they just got on with life and kept slim and fit.

Yes she was Nanabelle.

11,076 so far today felt, tired after a fairly longish walk this morning, and got caught in the rain, that has happened for a while, I have got rather complacent about not carrying an umbrella with me due to the consistently good weather.

"hasn't" not has.
