FB8 – Week 40

Another fairly consistent week, where every day fell between 4000 and 5000 steps, and I finished above 30,000 steps for the second week in a row.  Things got off to a decent enough start on Sunday, as I finished with 4300 steps.  A 6 step increase on Monday also put me over the 4300 step plateau.  Tuesday fell off just a bit, going down to just over 4000 steps.  A trip into the office on Wednesday turned into the week’s high point, finishing just 8 steps shy of 4900.  A day off of work and a birthday dinner put me just 6 steps over 4000 on Thursday.  Another day off on Friday led to 4300 steps.  A trip out to see Black Adam and celebrate my birthday with Daryl left me with 4500 steps on Saturday.

FB8 – Week 10

A disappointing week, as I fell back under 30,000 steps for the week.  Things got off to a decent enough start on Sunday, as I managed to score 4100 steps.  Things were pretty even on Monday, as I finished just 29 steps shy of 4100.  Tuesday was the high point of the week, thanks to a 5400 step output.  Wednesday fell back down again, but was still at 4300 steps.  Thursday fell off hard, dropping down to 2600 steps.  Friday saw a healthy increase, jumping up to 4600 thanks to dinner and a showing of Morbius with Daryl.  Unfortunately, the late night on Friday left me falling asleep throughout the morning on Saturday, leading to a low, low total that was 20 steps away from 2000.

FB8 – Week 8

A disappointing week, as I fell back under 30,000 steps for the week.  Things got off to a bad start on Sunday, as a sore left foot limited me to 2600 steps.  Things improved on Monday, as I managed to jump all the way up to 4900 steps.  Tuesday saw a slight decline, coming in exactly at 4700 steps.  Wednesday was even worse, dropping down to 4200 steps.  Thursday saw a nice improvement, thanks in part to a lunch date with Daryl, leaving me 7 steps shy of 4600.  Friday was the high point of the week, falling just 28 steps away from 5000.  Another lunch date, this time with Val and Daryl, left me with just 3500 steps.

Fitbit VII – Week 40

And yet another disappointing week, though I did manage to celebrate another completed trip around the sun.  Things got off to what passes for a decent enough start on Sunday, as I finished with 4000 steps.  Monday was even worse, falling down to 2800 steps.  Tuesday turned out to be the best day of the week, thanks to a night out to celebrate Val leaving work, which put me 18 steps shy of 4500.  Wednesday, as usual, was the worst day of the week, falling down to 2300 steps, despite venturing out at night for a birthday dinner.  Thursday saw a healthy increase, jumping back up to 4400 steps as Val and Daryl stopped by to celebrate my birthday.  A day off on Friday culminated with another night out with friends, finishing only 15 steps shy of 4200.  Saturday was another bust of a day, with only 3000 steps.

Fitbit VII – Week 11

A decent pandemic week, though still quite shy of my goal.  Things got off to a good start on Sunday, as a trip in to Chicago to celebrate birthdays with Val and Daryl put me over 7500 steps.  Monday and Tuesday were slight disappointments, as I finished over 7000 and 7100 steps respectively, but couldn’t get those few additional steps to put me over goal.  Things fell off on Wednesday, as I dropped down to 4000 steps due to meeting after meeting after meeting.  Thursday saw a bit of a bounce back, thanks to the White Sox home opener and my triumphant return to Guaranteed Rate Field, leaving me with 6400 steps.  Friday was a little worse, with only 4800 steps.  A rainout on Saturday kept me home all day, which left me only 3 steps shy of 2400.
