Fitbit VII – Week 25

An improvement over last week, though still well below where I want to be.  Things got off to a decent enough start on Sunday, as I finished with 4900 thanks to my first post-pandemic trip to the movie theater to see Black Widow.  Monday improved that total just a bit, up 42 steps.  Tuesday started PI Planning, so I fell back down to 3400 steps.  Wednesday was back up a bit, to 3700 steps.  Thursday was even better, as I managed to get up over 4600 steps.  Friday was my first game of the second half, which left me with the evil looking total of 6,666 steps.  A return trip to Guaranteed Rate Field on Saturday put me one step over 5600.

Fitbit 6: Week 10

Week 3 of sheltering in place due to the corona virus again yielded similar, yet slightly better results.  Things got off to a slow start on Sunday, with only 2600 steps.  Monday saw a marked improvement, despite PI Planning in the morning, as I got nearly 5000 steps.  Tuesday fell back down again, with only 2500 steps.  Wednesday bounced back up again, finishing just over 5000 steps.  Thursday was back down again, with only 3200 steps.  Friday saw a nice improvement in the weather, which led to me finishing 13 steps shy of 5900.  Saturday was a near repeat of the week before, with a trip to the bank and then the grocery store leading to almost 4400 steps.

Fitbit 6: Week 1

We kick off the 6th year of Fitbit use with yet another down week, though I continue to trend in the right direction.  The week got off to a better than usual  start on Sunday, with 3800 steps, thanks to my trip to the Chicago Magic Lounge the night before which kept me out past midnight.  Monday managed to just slip past my old/continuing goal of 7500 steps, despite a double whammy of PI planning in the morning and a DevOps workshop in the afternoon.  Tuesday was not as lucky, as I was only able to score 5600 steps.  Wednesday was a nice bounce back, with 7600 steps on the nose as we wrapped up PI planning.  The workshop wrapped up on Thursday, though I managed to net over 9300 steps.  Friday combined a morning trip to the Tech Café with an afternoon coffee run to score 8700 steps.  Saturday was another disappointment, getting only 4000 steps despite a trip to Evanston for the Purdue/Northwestern basketball game.

Fitbit V: Week 43

Yet another horrible week.  Sunday got things started with a bang, as I finished with a grand total of 2400 steps.  Monday rebounded a little bit, but PI Planning kept me at my desk most of the day, so I finished just over 6500 steps.  Tuesday was more of the same, with worse results as I came in just shy of 5500 steps.  Wednesday was the low point of the work week, with less than 4200 steps.  Thursday wrapped up PI Planning and improved a bit, up to 5000 steps.  Friday was the high point of the week, with a rousing total of 6700 steps.  Finally, the less said about Saturday’s 2100 steps, the better.

FB4: Week 32

A decent week, with 6 days above goal but no single outstanding day.  Labor Day weekend had Sunday and Monday coming in at nearly identical totals, coming in just 12 steps apart at just over 7100 steps each.  Tuesday was Day 1 of PI Planning, so walks to North enabled me to come in over 7500 steps.  Wednesday’s day 2 of PI Planning had me over 8600 steps.  Thursday combined work and some initial packing to come in at nearly 7400 steps.  A post-work trip to Guaranteed Rate Field for my final regular season game of the year helped Friday to finish over 8300 steps.  A good portion of Saturday was spent on a plane, so the pre-flight walking through O’Hare attributed for the 5100 steps I finished with.
