Such a lovely day here, so it was lovely to walk home from coffee with friends, and then out again in the afternoon. 10304 today for me. Yesterday spent with granddaughter, so only 7932!
Suspect poor weather due over weekend, so will have to make more effort. 
Managed 12,724 yesterday. I think the only water to be watching today is the rain, which has just started and is forecast for most of the day. I will walk to the library then go to aerobics this morning. Will see how the weather goes this afternoon. 
(Wishful thinking).
Feeling quite chuffed with myself. Totted up the number of Km I have covered in the last week and found that I have walked the equivalent of the distance between my Oxford village and Heathrow (60.5 Km)! That is nearly 1.5 Marathons. Sounds impressive for an OAP doesn't it? 
You must all have similar or bigger totals, so congratulations to all! Cari is probably doing a Marathon a day by now!
Have kept my head far down in shame this week as I was rarely over 5000 most days. I blame it on doing the bidding of others rather than what I want to do. However, today I stamped my feet (10,000 times apparently) and walked everywhere despite DH worrying I would get wet. Does he think I'm made of icing sugar and will dissolve ? 
I am in total awe of you ladies who manage this every day. 
to you all.
Don't hang your head Purple and well done on today.
I'm tempted not to post as I'm horrified with todays 1090. I spent most of the day preparing food for a family party. And by the time everyone went home tonight I was to shattered to go for a walk. Just goes to show though how few steps we can do if we don't make the effort to get out and about 
Anya, you probably used more energy than on a walking day. Standing uses plenty of calories! Hope the party went well.
There you are Shysal.putting others before self! I agree it is worrying how little we move unless we consciously try. That said, I did a morning's supply teaching on Friday and was amazed to find I'd done 4000 steps just walking around the classroom and up and down the playground. Does tell me that I must have been far more active before I retired, whatever I tell myself.
I agree about addictive Anya. I tuck my tiny ipod in my bra every morning just to keep count!
Good to hear from you Versa, sorry you have had difficult times.
Your new tracker sounds very posh, at least it won't keep re-setting itself (I hope).
I agree about the addiction. I have already done 14,523 today,but am about to set off on a circular walk of 7,000ish steps. I try to do a larger number on Sundays.
Hello, is there room for a newbie on this exercise regime? I would love to join you. I have just got myself a pedometer, and eventually managed to set it up properly after some online help! Trouble is, I went for a long walk today with DH in the sunshine and forgot it 
. So, tomorrow is another day but as I am mostly a fair weather walker I may be too embarrassed to check in for a few days until the forecast wet weather goes through.
That sounds very high tech Versa
I'm sure all comers are welcome Jamsidedown and you can't get much more inconsistent than I am - this week I've ranged from just over 1000 to 12,000+.
Don't be embarrassed to check in with a low score, you'll make me feel better!!!
Shysal that is a huge amount! Have you got very short legs? 
How many miles do you think that is?
Jingle, I didn't have very short legs when I started, probably worn them down by now! My total for today is now 22,116, 16.5 Km(10.3 miles). I only ever do this amount on a Sunday, as I always walk with a friend at 7.30am for 2 hours, so have time to recover for more in the afternoon.
The forecast for tomorrow is for 12 hours of rain!
What sort is it Versa? I keep looking at Fitbit ones, but they do seem very pricey and I'm not sure how clear the display is. Would be interested to hear how you get on with your new one and what sort it is.
Jamsidedown I am using an iPod mini one with a fitness app at the moment and I put it in my bra every morning so I don't miss counting a single step. Must look very odd ferreting around in my chest when I want to check it though.
Another good day for most of us. Purpledaff I have got a fitbit and don't notice I am wearing it (in my bra) but if you already have something that is working, I wouldn't bother getting something else. I don't always manage good totals - there are days when I hardly go out, and I reckon you need to do a couple of walks a day to reach 10,000. Today was a good day for me as we tried out a walk I am leading for my TG group. Fitbit Zip tells me 15289 today (and I have been up and down my townhouse stairs lots of times as well as long walk!)
Such a lovely sunny day here - enjoy the week everyone and let's all get out in the sunshine while we still have some!
purpledaffodil . I have a CSX pedometer which, although small would create a third boob, not a good look! I have to clip in to my waist band for it to be accurate, so easily forgotten if not part of the getting dressed routine.
jingl I love your hashtag!
