Lia- chaotic karma
Well, I am going to have to bow out gracefully and say that my life in the last week has been just too chaotic and solely laking in any serious exercise. I did manage between two to four thousand steps a day, one good yoga practice, and, if I remember correctly two 10-minute abs sessions [...]

Sara – stressed-out
Well, sister Kay, I got the problem too. It hit this week, what with personality conflicts both at work and here in my townhouse association, and guess who is in the middle? Actually, things have resolved somewhat at this point but Wed. was a really bad day.
Sooooo…my step record begins OK but ends less well. [...]

Claude – back to Normandy
I spent the end of last week and the beginning of this week with an old friend who lives in Vierzon and as we had not seen one another for 39 years, if I had had a pedometer on my tongue, it would have broken records
As it is, since Annik lives in a small [...]

Kay – Update
The Kay is still on overload and it’s getting worse instead of better. I am exhausted a lot while seemingly accomplishing nothing.
Saw the endocrinologist Friday and the internist last week. The former put me on cholesterol meds and took me off my thyroid meds. He also had me schedule a scan on my thyroid to take a look at the nodules [...]

Sandy – doctor’s again
Pleased to report that my knee isn’t so bad and I actually managed some housework this week (had to really as my cleaning lady was on holiday).
It took three sessions for me to so what she does in a couple of hours but it was an achievement.
Had my circulation checked on Monday and it seems [...]

Sara – Regular steps and aerobic steps — hooboy!
Hi, everyone! I think I am overdue to post…my big discovery this week has been the mode selector on my new pedometer, which tells me how many aerobic steps I have taken, out of the total number. I realized, whoops, it’s aerobic steps that are really the good thing since they are continuous and keep [...]

Naomi – August 8 – 15
One habit hard to overcome is my tendency not to take a shower/get dressed till, well, late! Old habits die hard and this one gets in the way of giving myself movement-credit on my pedometer. So, on August 8, steps up to 5,165, because I started the day earlier.
August 9– 7,073 steps from a walk [...]

Claude – back from the UK
I must say I had a wonderful stay in the UK. I did wear my pedometer every day, I guess I have become an addict, but didn’t keep a record of how much we walked, because I usually do this on my google calendar and almost never had an Internet access. But I would say [...]
