mona-camille Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 WOW Ramona!! 21,000+ steps! Totally AWESOME!!!I got to 11,202 yesterday. So I was pretty happy. I did not walk into the office today, so I will be struggling to hit 10k today. But since my fill I have not eaten. I am actually struggling with liquids, so I am going to do as the doc suggested and go to clear liquids until Sunday. Gosh I hope I can do it! Mostly drinking tea and water. Will make sure to drink Special K protein water today. Yesterday I PBed soup (about 4 spoonfuls at lunch, and about 5 spoonfuls at dinner) and slimfast (about 4 swallows). Good News is the scale has moved 2 lbs downward again and I am not hungry so I am still extremely motivated. GET TO STEPPIN EVERYONE!!! Kim Hey girl, it sounds like you may be too tight, which isn't good! I think you better give the Doctor a call. Trouble with liquids is baaaad for the pouch. Good for weight loss, but could stretch the pouch!! I am worried about you! I am at 11398 for the day so far. Had to big walks here at work.

shrty835 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 i am so ticked!! i walked this morning and went to sam's wholesale and have done some more carpets. i looked at my meter earlier and it said 4000 and some change. i just looked at it again and it said 201 steps. i must of pressed something on it without knowing so i guess today is just a wash. has this happened to anyone else? this was going to be my BIG day. I got one yesterday, and this morning the same thing happend to me. Had about 600 steps in and when i lookd again it said 16, so im going to add them up. plus keep a closer eye on it.

Kimmy in MD Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I am only at 2810 for the day so far, but it was a conscious choice so not feeling too guilty! About being too tight. I was thinking the same thing, but since you swell some after a fill, I think I will follow the docs orders and stay on clear liquids for 5 days and then go to the creamy soup stage for 5 days and then if after that I can't start eating solids again, I will see her for an unfill. I am really not worried about drinking too much liquid and stretching the pouch, more worried about dehydration from not drinking enough. I just had a 8 oz, water based, raspberry protein smoothie for lunch and it went down great, so that is a good sign (I know that is not clear!) Have a great afternoon!

I think I am going to have to get myself a pedometer today. Can't wait to see how many stepps I get in , especially on a work day. Our unit is very large and I know somedays it feels like i've walked at least 10,000 steps. Thanks for the inspiration all of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynzz Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I need to get back into this challenge. Mona needs some competitions because she is kickin' everyones arse. I give up!! I am so frustrated with my pedometer. The darn thing keeps on falling off, then I set it down and forget to put it back on. I think I am going to have to break down and and go buy another one with a safety string today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made my 10k yesterday and this morning, 7/18 I am at 9477 already for the day. I know I will hit my 10k for the day again. Have a great day.

Even if it isn't a lot of steps, do it anyway. Posting it will give you incentive to do more the next day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom12 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I have been doing between 18,000 and 20,000 steps a day and loving my pedometer. My highest day was when I went hiking and I did 28,500. I do think about taking extra walks etc. just to keep up my ped. Tonight I am at 13,500 so I am still planning one more walk before bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimmy in MD Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I am bumping this topic AGAIN, in hopes it will remind us all to keep moving. I haven't posted this week, but I did a little over 13,000 steps on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I am heading out for a walk in a few minutes and plan to have about 15,000 steps today.

mona-camille Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I still have my pedometer on and haven't been doing too good this week. Last week for the contest, I did a total of 141,000. That was for 5 days. We only pick 5 out of 7 days for the official count. This week I only did about 8,000 monday and tuesday and 15,000 yesterday. Got to get that back up!!! We've been getting torrential downpours making it hard to get out. But, last night I was a trooper and took my golf umbrella and got a mile in anyway. Then the thunder and lightning got too bad so I had to quit. My husband came after me in the truck, LOL!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimmy in MD Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Happy FRIDAY!! TGIF It is 3:14 PM and I am at 13,640 for the day so far. I am getting ready to go out for the evening and my son says the bump from my pedometer looks stupid under my clothes, so I guess I will not wear it out tonight, so that means I am done for the day. Hope someone beats me today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
