Workweek Hustle Steps Challenge Results

June 20, 2015 by Mary

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for details.

I’ve mentioned that having a Fitbit has stoked my competitive fire. Having a running competition makes me go further and push myself more. I even wrote about how our work week Fitbit challenge this week pushed me to raise the bar for myself.

So how did I do in this week’s workweek hustle challenge?

I won!

Pretty exciting!!

The end results of the challenge were really interesting. I ended up at the top with one other person far in front of everyone else. Here’s the step counts:

  • Me – 72,976
  • Coworker 1 – 71,485
  • Coworker 2 – 32,763
  • Coworker 3 – 30,182
  • Coworker 4 – 23,113
  • Coworker 5 – 19,306

Without pushing myself to keep up and beat that one coworker I definitely would have ended somewhere lower, probably around 50,000 steps. Instead I got an extra 20,000 steps in this week. Woah!

It’s funny because halfway through the week I accepted defeat. Then I realized I was only behind by 8,000 on Wednesday. Then I was only behind by a couple thousand on Thursday. And then when I left work on Friday I was only behind by 1,000. So I stepped it up!!

Friday night I hit the gym after work, took JuJu on two walks, went bowling, and paced for a few minutes. I had the most active night of the week, even more active than softball night! I ended up with 20,000 steps on Friday so I got a fancy little badge:

That was pretty exciting! The gamification aspect of Fitbit is pretty appealing so I see why people get sucked into it. I am looking forward to earning more badges and lifetime miles, though I don’t know that I can get more than 20,000 steps in a day – that was a lot of work!

Here’s some of the activity I put into my week to get those steps:

  • 20 minute elliptical workout
  • 30 minute elliptical workout
  • multiple juju walks per day
  • walked to lunch most days
  • walked to the store for a work break
  • rearranged furniture and put away things at new house
  • softball game on Thursday
  • bowling on Friday

Thanks to everyone who cheered me on this week! We will be doing work week challenges every week and a winner’s trophy will probably get passed around a lot, but I’m so happy to have won this first week! It was a fun little challenge for myself. I appreciate the support!
