3962 steps for 2.12 miles today. Tomorrow, I head to San Antonio for two weeks. I won't have the Wii or the Wii Fit. That means I need to head to the track in the morning or hit the streets to get some walking time in. Except, maybe for the times I'm behind the push mower mowing the lawn. I suspect most of my yard work will be tree trimming in nature, though. Hubby also wants to get the transmission and clutch changed out in the Jeep and fence painting and construction underway. My right knee is acting up. I need to remember that hula hoop is not a good Wii exercise with these knees!
AT miles: 381.55
YTD miles: 479.38
Not sure how regularly you'll see me for the next two weeks, but I'll be tracking and will do a catchup post when I get back to the big house.

Day 121, Sunday, June 29th
Thursday was a fairly normal day, ran 3.5 and walked with bonnie 1.5.
Long weekend in Michigan. Friday managed 2 miles of walking on walk in the evening with Bonnie and getting around the airport. Also road the stationary bike 8.2. During our walk we say some sand hill crains. One walked in front of an SUV and blocked his path for about 2 minutes. We weren't too sure how friendly he would be to us passing, but he didn't complain too much.
Saturday ran 3.25 or something like that, and walked 1.5. And Sunday ran 3.25 and just walked around the airport.
Total: 23
AT: 654

Day 120, Saturday, June 28th
A much better day today. In addition to 7354 steps for 3.94 miles, I spent about 30 minutes trying to learn the basics of Dance Dance Revolution. I have it set up on the simplest set up possible and am only doing the dance lesson, and I'm still doing terrible. The best grade I can get is a "D." Yes, I'm a dancing klutz. I also did 30 minutes on Wii Fit.
Some of today's steps came from mowing the part of the lawn that's growing (not very much) and moving several boxes from the garage to the house.

Day 119, Friday, June 27th
I should have listened to myself a couple of days ago. But I didn't. I stuffed my pedometer into my pocket this morning and went about my business. I pulled it out just before my Wii Fit session to see how I was doing and saw zero and a flashing battery indicator. Yup. It was hungry for more power but I hadn't found my spare battery yet. I went out and bought two. Today's count is bogus, but I didn't do much, so I'll credit myself with a mile and 2200 steps.
I did 35 minutes on Wii Fit and about five more minutes on Wii Sports -- Boxing and the test -- my Wii Sports age decreased from 73 to 60. There seems to be something not quite right about basing my fitness score on how many home runs I can hit, my bowling accuracy, and my ability to return a tennis ball, but (shrug) I guess it's all in good fun. Or maybe I'm just a poor loser! My Wii Fit age was 42 today. It's varied from the mid-30s to the low-50s. I think it's a little more accurate.
AT miles: 373.02
YTD miles: 470.85
I've lost between 10 and 13 pounds since I retired, so I'm pleased with that. Only about 80 to go. :)

Day 118, Thursday, June 26th
I did get up and pull vines for about an hour this morning. That's mostly upper body with few steps. I got up "too early" though, and by the time I'd pulled today's quota of vines, I still had a little while to go before the post office opened, so I had breakfast. I did have a nice walk to the post office, turned over the correspondence at the window and checked the PO Box -- junk mail and mail from the previous person -- we've had the box for about five or six years, so it's a little surprising to still get mail for that guy. Gave it to the window and walked home with my Wal-Mart flyer. That was about 35 minutes and 3729 steps.
Shortly after I got home, I heard Hershey barking, I looked downstairs and saw Hershey standing near an empty collar lying on the ground. Millie slipped her collar. I dashed downstairs, grabbed her leash and the collar and headed off to where I hear my neighbor's dogs barking in the next block. Sure enough, she was running in the high school parking lot by the stadium entrance. Amazingly, she immediately came when I called. That's a first.
41 minutes on the Wii Fit. Again, not a lot of stepping involved today. Even so, today's count is better: 7357 for 3.25 miles.

Day 117, Wednesday, June 25th
All my Wii Fit time today was on yoga, so even though I did 30 minutes, I wanted to go through every yoga pose opened to me so far, I got virtually zero steps for that time.
Today's steps: 4139 in 1.82 miles
AT miles: 368.77
YTD miles: 466.6
Tomorrow morning, after pulling vines, I'm going to walk to the post office to mail two pieces of correspondence. That ought to add some steps, and it should still be cool enough.

Most of my "mileage" today came from not walking :). I did a 6 mile bike ride with my son in the morning, then worked out on the WII. The actual steps are mostly pacing because California is burning and dropping ash out of our sky. We're not supposed to be outside right now :p.
