Welp, today is my 5-year FitBit anniversary, which is going to somewhat signify a standing down of my constant, obsessive number tracking. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m still going to go to the gym, I’m still going to eat healthy, but my competitive days are done. I’ve left all the FitBit groups I was in, “unfriended” FitBit friends who I didn’t actually know IRL. I think I accomplished what I set out to accomplish, and now seems to be as good a time as any to dial it back a little.
So, without further adieu, here are the totals.
I really don’t have anything to add to that – I think the numbers speak for themselves.
I’m still going to chase the AppleWatch goal, just because I’m so close. The “1000 Day” badge is the highest they have, and I’m only 58 days away from that. Furthermore, only 70 days from doing 1000 consecutive days hitting all my numbers. I can do 70 more days standing on my head. Once I hit that, then I’ll really start standing down – so, watch this space until August.
And in a last act of numerology, today was my 1234th check-in at the gym. I’ve been much more that that; Swarm didn’t become a thing until well after I started that regimen. Still, a little synchronicity.
In other, more exciting (to me) news, the new Road Burner pipes I ordered finally showed up today. Miraculously, I was able to install them without too much fuss, despite it being about a million degrees out there today. My initial impression is that I love these pipes. Love. Them. They look awesome, and they sound like…well, they sound like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Fo’ realz. By the time I was done, I was too wiped out to get out on the open road; the open road will still be there in the morning. But really, I’m super-pleased. Not just with the pipes themselves, but that I was able to install them single-handedly. Having mad skills is one of my less tangible qualities – I guess. I’m handy with a screwdriver, anyway.
Tomorrow, I’ll get the LED glow lighting I ordered, and with that, the bike will be ready for the Dragon. Of course, I still have to install the new hitch on the Jeep; I guess that’ll be a project for next weekend. See the aforementioned mad skills.
In the meantime, if it sounds like the world is about to end, don’t worry – it’s probably just me.
