GlobalFit III: Week 31

Y3Week31A somewhat decent week, with another day stuck at home due to the weather.  Monday and Tuesday were pretty typical work days.  Wednesday started by getting stuck in the snow on the driveway, so I spent the day at home trying to get the car moving while calling in to meetings all day.  Thursday was back to work, followed by quite possibly the worst night of bowling I’ve had in some time.  Friday included a post-work trip to H&R Block to get my taxes done.  Saturday’s activity was mostly going to Costco and Mariano’s, while Sunday was spent clearing off the DVR.

GlobalFit III: Week 27

Y3Week27This week was supposed to be the first back to work after more than 3 weeks of vacation, but the Polar Vortex had a little something to say about that, plunging temperatures below 0 for over 2 days and keeping me home both Monday and Tuesday.  Wednesday was the day that I finally ventured back to work, and the first day to break 5000 steps in 2014.  Thursday was even slightly better, coming in 4 steps below the 6000 step plateau.  Friday just missed on 5000 steps, and the weekend was surprisingly above their low average.

GlobalFit III: Week 23

Y3Week23

Ah, we return to early December, which runs us into a bit of a problem.  For reasons I don’t entirely understand, the totals for parts of Thursday and all of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were lost.  For the earlier part of the week, my last before going on vacation for the remainder of the year, the highlight was Wednesday, which included a trip to the Glen and Von Maur to but gifts for co-workers.  Thursday was the holiday party at GameWorks, followed by a trip to the movie theater.  Friday would have included a nice trip to the mall, while the weekend would have included snowblowing and a trip to Michael’s swim meet.

GlobalFit III: Week 22.5

Y3Week22plusWhile I’ve been away on this long Christmas vacation, the good folks at GlobalFit have revamped their Destination You website.  In addition to new graphics, the main change that would affect our weekly looks at my activity is the move from a Sunday through Saturday week to a Monday through Sunday.  Which means that when we finally take a look at Week 23 once I go back to work in January, we will have lost track of one day, Sunday December 8.  So, since it wouldn’t count if it wasn’t listed on this site, here are my pathetic steps for that one day.  1,244 total steps, the majority of which came in the 3 and 4 o’clock hours, thanks to Danny’s basketball game.

California Dreamin’

SanDiegoLast year, the new CIO at my company started a new program where the top point recipients from our internal employee recognition tool were rewarded with a trip to Disney World.  Last week, they announced this year’s winners will be heading to San Diego next spring and today, the list of winners was released.  Surprisingly, my name was on the list, so, come next April, I will be headed on an all-expense paid trip to SoCal for, well, something.  Details will be provided in January, so who knows what the itinerary will be or how much free time we will have to traverse one of my favorite cities in this country.

Of course, my first reaction after finding out about the trip was “I wonder if the Padres are in town.”  Sadly, the answer is no.  My second thought was that after a winter that is already hitting single digits, a trip to the warm embrace of California will be very welcome.

GlobalFit III: Week 20

Y3Week20Another topsy turvey week, with 4 days above 5000 but the other 3 well below.  Things started off slowly on Sunday, where the big movement of the day was going down in the basement to avoid the impending tornadoes.  The good days during the work week were helped out due to trips to North Plaza for Starbucks, in an effort to move up to Gold level on the Starbucks app.
