FB10: Week 51

My streak of decent results came to an end as I headed back to work for the first time in 2025.  Sunday got the week off to a bad start, finishing with just 24100 steps.  Things picked up on Monday, as I came 14 steps away from 4200.  Things were slightly better on Tuesday, finishing with 4200 steps.  A slight drop-off on Wednesday put me at 3900 steps.  A slight improvement on Thursday left me 30 steps shy of 4200.  Friday dropped back down again, needing 18 additional steps to get to 3800.  Taking down the Christmas tree and putting it away on Saturday helped me surpass the 4000-step plateau.
