    Workout: None. Transitioning to a 4-day work week, and since I leave work early on Thursday for church choir practice, experimenting with arriving at work early on Wednesday. This removes my only dedicated cardio day, so not ideal for long term, but just for a week or two while I'm massaging my schedule and figure out the details.

    Food: Last night was chicken fajitas.

    Goals:
    1. Reach 104.0lbs by 1/11/24
    2. Punch in 30 minutes early every day (be an Outstanding employee).

    I've been taking in too many calories.

    While possible, the rapid daily changes you've been seeing in weight, both up and down, are almost assuredly caused by changes in hydration levels, aka water weight.

    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy TGIF! No work today because I'm driving my daughter down to LA so she can start attending dance academy for the next 5 months. It's a little saddening for me because this is the first time she's going out on her own and I've never been away from her for more than 2 weeks. She's grown up now.

    Cardio: jog/walk- 3 miles (350 calories)

    Strength: triceps- pressdowns, lying tricep extensions, cable kickbacks, machine dips 4x15

    Assessment Pizza for dinner.

    Cardio:
    Snow shoveling and ice chipping - 30 minutes
    Weekly grocery walk - 60 minutes

    Weights: Lower Hypertrophy

    Squats 4x15
    BB Step-Ups 3x12
    BB RDL 3x10
    Leg Extension 3x12
    Lying Leg Curl 3x12
    Calves Extend 3x15
    Roman Chair Knee-Ups 4x15

    Analysis: I've decided to pull the RDL from my second leg day each week, given I already hammer my hamstrings and glutes on my heavy day. Though there is an argument to keeping them, not just for the glutes and hams, but also for the lower back. Hmm...what do you think, @ninerbuff?

    Food: Dinner last night was supposed to be pan-seared BBQ pork chops, but had to stay late at work to finish a project and didn't have time to cook before choir rehearsal, so ended up eating a Sonic burger instead. Making the pork tonight, though.

    Food: Last night was chicken empanadas, a cookoff competition between me and my daughter-in-law. In a blind taste test, family preferred hers 3-1. Guess next time we have this meal, she can do all the cooking and I'll get the night off, lol.

    NFL: Broncos lost badly to finish the season 8-9, just missing the chance at a winning record for the first time in 8 years. Still, it's a 3-win improvement from last season. Gonna be a messy offseason as they figure out our future, possibly firing the QB, the GM, bringing it yet another new QB...

    Food: Last night was Papa Murphy's pizza. Today's lunch is a mish-mash of stuff, as I had no leftovers in the fridge and my day's too full of meetings to leave my desk at lunch, thus I get a protein shake, cheese and peanuts, some fruit. Not the most satisfying meal, but nutritionally it gets the job done.
