Well, this was a horrible week. After nearly a full work week of less than 4,000 steps, my average steps per day dropped below 5,000. Saturday was a nice recovery thanks to a trip to the gym, but I managed to come with with two giant blisters on my feet, which will make this week interesting.
Well, this week was a big disappointment. After topping the 5000 step mark every work day last week, this week I managed it only once, even with bowling on Thursday (which included a season high game of 183, but that’s neither here nor there).
Overall, a pretty decent week. As expected, I crossed the 1,000,000 step plateau, and even had some decent numbers for a Sunday thanks to an ice skating competition, park district basketball, and a birthday dinner. The work week clocked in over 5,000 steps every day, and then a steep plunge on Saturday.
Overall, a pretty decent week. Friday was hurt by a WFH due to the snowstorm. Strange that snowblowing shows up as “Other Activity” on both Friday and Saturday. The big news is that it looks like I will pass the 1,000,000 step plateau next week. Hurray!
Week 26 means half a year has passed since we started this little adventure, and it just so happened to be the first week of the new year. Sunday was pretty slow, what with it being New Year’s Day and all. Monday was back to work after three weeks. Again, as previously explained, we need to ignore the green, self-reported steps. While trying to recover the missing days from vacation, I accidentally hit submit instead of changing the date. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday all included trips to the gym, so those were good days. Friday must have had some walking around time at work, but the details are escaping me for the moment. Saturday was disappointing, as I barely left the house and didn’t really wear the tracker much at home. Even with that, though, it was a good start to the new year.
The last week of work for 2011 included a few trips to North Plaza, which is the winter equivalent of walking outside around the compound. I don’t exactly understand how Thursday’s bowling activity continually shows up as “other activity”, since it is pretty much the same as walking, just in special shoes and with the occassional sliding. Anyway, this is the final update for 2011, as I will not be in the office to check in my activity again until January. We’ll catch up for these last three weeks then.
Back to work, and no outside activity as the winter weather has started to take hold. Moving to a new building at work means I get a few extra steps as I’m parking further from the door and have stairs to climb to get to my desk.
Nearly three weeks late, this update was delayed first by the Thanksgiving week vacation, then due to a discharged battery that didn’t allow my updates to get registered until yesterday, and, finally, the website being down last night. All I really remember is bowling on Thursday and working from home on Friday.
With SWAT over, life will hopefully start to get back to normal. Decent weather last week gave me the chance to take the occassional walk around the complex.
Last week started off strong, then fell victim to the end of SWAT and birthday related activities.
