Another disappointing week, with only 3 days over the 5000 step mark. Thursday used a trip over to North for a smoothie to just eke by 5000 steps. Friday used an extra-long wait for a pizza to put in some extra steps along the parking lot of said pizza place. Saturday had a trip down the ramp after another exciting White Sox loss. Beyond that, more of the same with work followed by lying in bed and watching TV.
Total steps: 31,344

Overall, it was a disappointing week, with only 2 days over 5000 steps. But those 2 days were way over, both breaking 9000 and Friday nearing 12,000. Monday’s total was thanks to 2 meetings in North Plaza, with an hour in between, so I had to make 2 trips. Friday had the exciting double feature of a trip to North for smoothies at Red Mango and a train ride to the Cell for exciting White Sox baseball and a trip down the ramps afterwards.
Total steps: 40,064
Weekly average: 5723.4
Year 3 gets off to a rousing start with 4 days over the 5000 step plateau. Most of those were due to trips over to North plaza for smoothies courtesy of Red Mango, but they still totally count. Not to mention, this is a total improvement over week 1 from last year, which had only really 1 good day.
Total steps: 35,360

Sunday finished out the theme park portion of my vacation to Disney World with another trip to Hollywood Studios, before calling it a day early and heading back to the hotel for some much needed pool time. Monday consisted of a trip to Downtown Disney for some last minute shopping before heading to the airport for the trip back home. Following all of the walking in the last week, Tuesday was a day of relaxation before heading back to work, with 2 trips to the movie theater giving my poor feet a break. Wednesday gets us back to our normal workday activities, barely scraping the 5000 step mark. Friday neared 8000 steps thanks to trips to Red Mango and then, after work, Rocky Vanders.
Saturday marked the half-way point of June, and I’m well above the midway point for the 200,000 step challenge. Sadly, it might still come down to the wire, but I have a good feeling that I’m going to make it.
Only 4 days made it past the mystical 5000 step barrier, mostly thanks to the return of a certain co-worker who has become enamored with the idea of smoothies from Red Mango. Saturday just squeaked past the 5000 step mark thanks to a trip downtown to see The Book Of Mormon, followed by a trip to the Cell for exciting White Sox baseball.
An actual decent week, with 4 days passing the 5000 step mark, including Saturday, and a fifth falling just short. The three weekdays benefited from trips to North Plaza, either for meetings, smoothies from Red Mango, or a concerted effort on my part to get up and move around a bit. Saturday’s surprising total was helped by traveling to multiple grocery stores in a futile effort to find packages of Oreo Mega Stuf cookies.
All things considered, it was a pretty decent week. Tuesday topped 3500 steps despite being a WFH day due to the snow. Thursday and Friday both topped the 5000 step mark thanks to trips to North plaza, for either meetings or a nice smoothie from Red Mango. Saturday even managed to top 2000 steps, thanks mostly to a trip to the new Mariano’s grocery store.
A somewhat successful week, with three days breaking the 5500 step mark. One of those was helped along by a trip to North plaza to visit the new Red Mango smoothie store. Weekends continue to be a problem, but hopefully will get better once the weather starts to turn.
