28,000 Steps In Four Weeks

The pedometer I thought I had was nowhere to be found so had to estimate my steps today. I reckon two miles with the dog and a mile around the shops added up to 6000 steps. 20 minutes on the treadmill at the gym worked out to another 2000. With the usual trips up and down stairs and walking around cleaning up after the family I hope I made it to 10000 steps today. Does this sound right?

I have bought a new pedometer so should know exactly how many steps I walk from now on

It sounds about right, the fact that you are trying to make 10,000 steps is huge in its own so don't get down on yourself.

Thanks for your encouragement. This week I have achieved 10000 steps twice. My worst day was only 4000 steps. Other days between 7000 and 8000. My dog is enjoying her extended walks and I am really exploring the neighbourhood.
