A pretty good work week, with every day above 6000 steps and 2 days over 7000. The first bit of decent weather played a part, as did a concerted effort to get up and move more during the day. Weekends still need some work, obviously.

The week got off to an odd start as the temperature broke 50 degrees for the first time all year on Monday, but an overturned semi gave me my second 2 1/2 hour plus commute to work in under a week. Despite that, and thanks to a meeting in North plaza in the morning and a coffee run in the afternoon, I was able to put up a pretty good total. Tuesday finished a mere 60 steps below the 5000 step mark, mainly due to my decision to not wear the tracker when I got home from work. Yet another snowstorm kept me home on Wednesday, which led to the day’s small total. Thursday was a good bounce back day, thanks to my last night of bowling for the season. Friday finished off the pretty decent week, before yet another horrid weekend performance.

A so-so week, as only 3 days surpassed the 5000 step plateau. Monday and Tuesday were pretty typical, with a trip for coffee just pushing us past the 5000 step mark. Wednesday was a busted day thanks to snow, which pushed my commute to work up past the 2 1/2 hour mark, and late meetings which kept me there past 6. Thursday had the best total of the week, and it was because of a wake.

After 2 weeks of successful work weeks, things went off the rails about this week. Monday, Thursday, and Friday were the only good days, thanks to bowling and a time-killing trip to the mall. Once again, the weekends were a wasteland where very little was accomplished, other than finishing a good book.

Another pretty good week, with all 5 work days over the 5000 step mark for the second week in a row. Monday saw a torrential snow storm which sent me home early, so that day’s total is a little surprising. After that, the weather actually started to warm up for the first time all year, so there were occasional trips outside to head over for coffee during the week. Thursday saw the usual bowling bump. The weekend, however, continued to be a sinkhole of inactivity.

For weeks now, I’ve been having trouble keeping my tracker in one piece, thanks to a missing screw on the clip that attaches it to my shoe. I’ve been trying to use broken off bits of toothpicks to keep it stable, which, for the most part, was working. Until last Monday, when the second screw gave way and the whole thing flew off my foot. Thankfully, I noticed as it was happening so I was able to retrieve the errant tracker and, using copious amounts of scotch tape, keep the tracker going, at least for another day. Thursday I was able to get an entire new back, so we are back in the game.
Well, we have what appears to be a pretty good week. The entire work week was above 5000 steps, and the weekend was actually better than normal. There was also a lot of symmetry during the week, with Monday and Tuesday each coming in with 83 minutes of activity and Wednesday and Thursday clocking in with 67. Furthermore, Thursday and Friday ended up with the exact same step total.

A somewhat decent week, with another day stuck at home due to the weather. Monday and Tuesday were pretty typical work days. Wednesday started by getting stuck in the snow on the driveway, so I spent the day at home trying to get the car moving while calling in to meetings all day. Thursday was back to work, followed by quite possibly the worst night of bowling I’ve had in some time. Friday included a post-work trip to H&R Block to get my taxes done. Saturday’s activity was mostly going to Costco and Mariano’s, while Sunday was spent clearing off the DVR.

Well, the polar vortex returned, keeping me home on Monday, which kept the days total down. Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday all managed to surpass the 5000 step plateau. More snow over the weekend mostly kept me at home, so another weekend of poor totals capped off the week.

A somewhat disappointing week, with only 3 days over 5000 steps, mostly due to trips over to North plaza for expensive coffee drinks. Thursday got another bowling bump, which my average did not. The weekend was above its normal lows, thanks to skating competitions for Angelina and basketball games for Danny.

A pretty decent week, with 4 days over the 5000 step mark and a weekend day passing the 4000 step plateau. An actual 5 day work week, my first in well over a month, contained quite a few trips over to North plaza for coffee runs. Thursday marked my first bowling outing of the new year, which didn’t work out too well for my average.
