This is geeting to be like the asterisks in sports stats. When you set the goal, you had something in mind. Whatever it was, that's what determines whether you've met it. Other people's rules or opinions don't count because it was your goal, and you're the only one who knows the rules.

Of course you could game it by getting our permission to fool yourself, changing your work schedule or (if really dumb) giving up vacation days to make the goal. But then you'd have to put a mental asterisk next to it because you wouldn't have made it without cheating.

Unless there's some third party bet or money riding on this, decide for yourself whether you've made a good faith effort and call it a wrap.
