Linda says that I don’t HAVE to walk more than 8000 steps a day; in fact, I shouldn’t be burning so many calories since I’m trying to get back to closer to 150 lbs. She bases it on this:

“While 10,000 steps is a popular goal, research indicates that significant health benefits—including lower mortality risk—begin at lower levels, with 7,000–8,000 steps often cited as a highly effective daily target. Generally, 7,000–10,000 steps is ideal for health, with benefits for seniors plateauing around 6,000–8,000 steps.
Key Takeaways on Step Counts:
• Significant Benefits: As few as 2,500–3,000 steps per day can start to lower risks of cardiovascular disease and premature mortality, British Heart Foundation (https://www.bhf.org.uk/informationsupport/heart-matters-magazine/activity/how-many-steps-a-day-should-i-walk-for-my-heart-health) says.
• Optimal Range: 7,000–10,000 steps per day provides significant health benefits, reducing risk of premature death, Sharp HealthCare (https://www.sharp.com/health-news/how-7-000-steps-per-day-can-save-your-life) says.
• Age Considerations: For adults 60 and older, 6,000–8,000 steps is sufficient for maximum benefit, while younger adults may see benefits continue up to 10,000”
