Fitbit 12 – Week 18

Yet another great week as I pushed my 30,000-step week streak to fifteen and my streak of 4000+ step days reached 90, a full three months.  The week got off to a good start on Sunday thanks to a trip to Rate Field for the final installment of the first Crosstown series of the year, finishing 35 steps shy of 5600.  Monday saw a small decrease, dropping down to 4500 steps.  A lunchtime walk while I changed kept things rolling on Tuesday, ending 27 steps away from 6900.  Wednesday was the best day of the week, thanks to a season holder event at Wrigley Field in the afternoon followed by the Cubs game that night, wrapping up with 8400 steps.  Thursday used a walk to Walgreens to pick up a prescription to finish with 6100 steps.  A slow-ish Friday got the holiday weekend off to a decent start with 4400 steps.  The week wrapped up on a high note on Saturday with 6600 steps.

Fitbit 12 – Week 8

A pretty great week, as I surpassed 30,000 steps for the fifth straight week, ran my streak of 4000+ days to 20, and notched my highest step total completely in the state of Illinois since July.  The week got off to a good start on Sunday thanks to unseasonably warm temperatures, leading to a longer walk through the neighborhood finishing 18 steps away from 6300.  Record high temperatures on Monday facilitated a walk to Walgreens to pick up a prescription, which left me with 7700 steps, the first time I’ve reached my daily goal since January’s trip to California.  The temperature, and my step total, dropped on Tuesday, but I still managed 4800 steps.  The low point of the week came on Wednesday, but that still ended up at 4400 steps.  An impromptu trip to the United Center on Thursday to see Purdue battle Northwestern in the Big Ten Tournament left me 22 steps shy of 4100.  A return trip on Friday to see Purdue defeat Nebraska was even better, finishing 26 steps away from 6200.  Saturday finished the week strong with 4750 steps on the nose.

Fitbit 12 – Week 5

Unseasonably warm weather led to a pretty decent week, keeping me above 30,000 steps for the second straight week.  The week got off to a nice start on Sunday, surpassing 4200 steps.  Monday turned out to be the low point of the week, finishing with 3600 steps.  A trip to the mall for lunch on Tuesday left me just 2 steps shy of 4600.  A walk to Walgreens to pick up a prescription on Wednesday put me 11 steps away from 6200.  A decrease, but still another nice day on Thursday dropped me to 4600 steps.  Friday fell again, going down to 3700 steps.  A productive Saturday wrapped up the week with exactly 4800 steps.

Fitbit XI – Week 37

I extended my 30,000-step week streak to 21 weeks thanks to some strong outings.  Things got off to a good start on Sunday as a morning walk around the block helped me finish with 5300 steps.  My first trip to the Salt Shed to see Garbage on Monday lifted me up to 6200 steps.  A big drop on Tuesday left me 34 steps away from 3600.  Wednesday saw a nice bounce back, falling just 26 steps shy of 4300.  Another drop on Thursday put me all the way back down to 3700 steps.  A walk to Walgreens to pick up a prescription on Friday left me just 24 steps shy of 6700.  A fall back to 3700 steps on Saturday wrapped up the week.

FB2: Week 20

FB2_Week20A successful week, with every day topping the 6000 step mark.  Things got off to a good start on Sunday thanks to a trip down to US Cellular Field with Angelina to watch the White Sox embarrass themselves.  Monday got the work week off to a good start, finishing with nearly 9000 steps.  Tuesday and Wednesday managed to eke past my daily step goal, before Thursday obliterated it, thanks to a training class in North in the morning, coffee in the PM, and then a walk to Walgreens for a Father’s Day card after work.  Friday was another successful day at work.  Saturday got off to a tremendous start, with my step goal accomplished by 9 AM, before settling in for a relaxing afternoon and evening.
