Re: Weekly Walking Miles?
I average about 5 to 7 miles a day. I just had a bad report on my DEXA (Bone Density) report. I go to a Nurse Practioner who grew up with one of my boys. So she really dishes it out to me when I am not doing what I am suppose to not do. I had a negative reading 4 years ago. I should be about -1.5 but I am -3.78 or so. The negative count only went down like .25 but when you put it on the bell chart they use it looks really bad. I had already set up some exercise with the Wellness Center. Just had not started since was getting things ready for a trip to Lubbock, Tx this past week-end for a niece graduating from Law School. My nurse TOLD me that I need to do some hard work on the hip like walking. I walk but I need to add somethings more strenious to the hip. Plus she put me on Actonel. One pill a week. Plus my chorlestrol is up to 251 and she wants it way down. Old Age and I am falling apart. I feel that these different groups I belong to will keep me in line and get into a better route.
