FB4: Week 24

Another good week, thanks, in part, to the new working arrangement.  Things got off to a slightly slow start on Sunday, coming in just over 6000 steps.  Monday came up big, finishing over 11,300 steps, thanks to walking back and forth between plazas at work multiple times.  Tuesday was another strong day, coming in over 9600.  Wednesday was slightly lower, finishing a whole 209 steps beneath Tuesday’s total.  Thursday was the low day of the work week, falling just short of 7900 steps.  Friday was the big day of the week, combining a morning of work, an afternoon on the golf course with IBM, and night in the city with Val for a Sharp Objects event.  All together, I ended up with just over 13,000 steps.  Saturday used a trip down to Guaranteed Rate Field for a mere 6500 steps.

A good week, with 6 out of the 7 days coming in over my daily goal of 7000 steps.  Sunday got things off to a good start, finishing with over 7300 steps.  Monday kept the good times rolling, coming in at nearly 9300 steps.  Tuesday was the highlight of the week, coming in at almost 13,700 steps thanks to a trip to Wrigley Field for Season Ticket Holder Family Day.  Wednesday was back to work for day 2 of PI planning, which garnered me over 8400 steps.  Thursday was spent packing up the last remaining things in my cube, just 67 steps shy of 10,000.  Friday was a down day, thanks in part to dealing with a flat tire, ending up with just over 5400 steps.  Saturday bounced back to over 7400 steps, thanks to a trip to Guaranteed Rate Field for Grinder Bash.

FB4: Week 10

A good week that started slow but finished strong.  The week got off to a bad start on Sunday, staying inside all day and ending up with only 2300 steps.  The bounce back started on Monday, where I surpassed 9000 steps thanks to multiple jaunts around the workplace.  Tuesday was another bad day, falling a mere 343 steps under goal, despite a post-work dinner with Jeff and a car accident for Tom.  Wednesday made up for that slightly, coming in at 7100 steps.  Thursday was the big day of the week, with a meeting with IBM in the morning followed by my first trip down to Guaranteed Rate Field for the White Sox home opener.  Friday came close to tying it, with 2 trips over to North and a post-work dinner putting me at 9800 steps.  Saturday was another trip to the South Side for exciting baseball, coming in over 7700 steps.

Fitbit III: Week 35

Another up and down week, as I ran my streak of days over goal to 15.  Things got off to an ok start on Sunday with my final trip to Guaranteed Rate Field of the year, finishing a whopping 72 steps over my daily goal.  Monday used a lunch and learn in North Plaza with my two warring girls to finish at nearly 7500 steps.  Tuesday was a big day, coming in just shy of 9500 steps.  Wednesday again used a trip to North Plaza, plus an after work dinner with Hayley, to help finish just above 7200 steps.  Thursday finished above 10,000 steps, thanks to a trip to Lincoln-Way West to pick up Michael from swimming, which I circled twice while waiting.  Friday was back down in the 6700 range, before another 10,000 step day on Saturday, thanks to a morning walk to clear my head (didn’t work) and an afternoon trip to the grocery store.

Fitbit III: Week 34

A decent week with one tremendous day that made the overall total look great.  The week got off to a pretty good start on Sunday, with over 7300 steps to my credit.  Monday just squeaked past 6500 steps, as the drama from the week before reignited with everyone back at work.  Tuesday combined the Sprint & Stride, helping Val buy and set up a TV in her new apartment, and Season Ticket Holder Family Day at Wrigley Field for my 3rd 20,000 step day of the year and 6th overall.  Wednesday had a tremendous drop off, finishing a mere 28 steps above my daily goal.  Thursday improved a bit to back over 8000 steps.  Friday was back down around 6600 steps.  Saturday used a night trip to Guaranteed Rate Field to wrap up the week with nearly 6800 steps.
