Fitbit VII – Week 42

Another disappointing week, doomed at the end by my reaction to the COVID vaccine booster shot.  Things got off to a decent enough start on Sunday, coming a mere 9 steps shy of 4300.  Monday was slightly better, as I jumped up to nearly 4900 steps.  Tuesday fell off a bit, coming just 23 steps away from 4500.  Wednesday was just a little lower, ending with 4200.  Thursday saw a slight bounce back, finishing over 4400 thanks in part to a trip to Target to get my booster shot.  Friday fell off to 2800 steps, as the booster knocked me out and left me feeling sick for most of the day.  I was feeling better on Saturday, but still needed 1 additional step to get to 1900.

Fitbit 6: Week 43

Week 36 of working from home due to the corona virus was an absolute shit show.  The week got off to a crap start on Sunday, finishing with over 2300 steps.  Monday saw a slight improvement, but only up to 3100 steps.  Tuesday was spent in meetings all day, leaving me 12 steps shy of 1300 steps.  Things got slightly better on Wednesday, as I made it all the way up to 1900 steps.  Thursday was a bell-weather day, as I managed to surpass 2000 steps.  Friday, the start of my Thanksgiving vacation, saw an actual increase, all the way up to 5100 steps.  Saturday was even better, as I finished over 5500 steps thanks to a trip to Mariano’s and Target.

Fitbit 6: Week 13

Week 6 of sheltering in place due to the corona virus saw my upward trend come to a stop, despite improved weather.  Things got off to a rough start on Sunday, thanks to residual pain from my long walk the day before, so I ended up 6 steps shy of 2900.  Monday I bumped that total up to 5000 steps.  Trips to Jewel, Target, and Meijer on Tuesday gave me my highest total of the week, with nearly 6400 steps.  Wednesday dropped down considerably, to 3100 steps.  Thursday saw a slight improvement, going up to 4000 steps.  Friday fell off a ledge, coming in with only 2400 steps.  Saturday used another trip to the grocery store to get back up to 4400 steps.

FB4: Week 47

After 2 good weeks, it was a big drop off as I started the Christmas vacation.  Things got off to a slow start, as usual, as I didn’t really do much on Sunday, ending with just over 2400 steps.  Monday saw a nice improvement, coming in over 7700 steps.  Tuesday was even better, with just over 8300 steps.  Wednesday, my last day of work for the year, finished with nearly 8600 steps.  Thursday used a trip to the mall to come in with a lowly 5700 steps.  Friday was ever worse, despite a trip to Target and Barnes & Noble for some last minute Christmas presents, finishing with 4200 steps.  Saturday was a repeat of Sunday, with 2500 steps as I again didn’t leave the house.

Fitbit III: Week 13

We are one step closer to tying last summer’s record of 14 straight 50,000 step weeks, thanks to my highest total in 4 weeks.  Things got off to a strong start on Sunday, thanks to a tilt between the White Sox and Indians at Guaranteed Rate Field followed by Michael’s birthday celebration at Outback Steakhouse.  Monday scored an impressive total of over 12,000 steps, thanks to an after-work session trying to get the Mercury out of the garage and running again.  Tuesday was even better, falling less than 200 steps short of 13,000 due to another trip to the South Side, minus a parking pass.  Wednesday fell back down to my goal territory, despite trips to Target and Meijer for car fluids.  Thursday had a bit of a bounce back up nearly 9000 steps, thanks to a trip to North plaza and a few smoking breaks with Val.  Friday broke 7300 steps, with more car work.  The weather turned bad on Saturday, as rain kept me inside most of the day, leading to a disappointing total of 3100 steps.

FB2: Week 10

FB2_Week10

A troublesome week got off to a slow start on Sunday, barely surpassing 3000 steps.  Things improved throughout the work week, though most days were lower than what we have been used to.  Friday was opening day for the White Sox, so I got a big boost from the trip down to US Cellular Field.  Saturday’s numbers are truncated, as I somehow managed to lose my Fitbit while at the White Sox game.  A trip to Target after the game got me a new one, but the steps I acquired during the game and after are now lost forever.

Fitbit Week 34

Week34_FBA good bounce back week, with every day surpassing the 5500 step goal and 2 days up above 10,000 steps.  Things got off to a good start on Sunday, thanks to an afternoon walk around the neighborhood.  The work week was pretty good, despite missing the daily afternoon trip for coffee.  Things picked up on Thursday, thanks to the Sprint and Stride, where I somehow managed to finish the day with 13,000 steps on the nose.  Friday looked to be a dud of a day, until a post work walk boosted me up above 10,000 steps.  Saturday just squeaked past my daily goal, thanks to trips to the grocery store and Target.
