    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy weekend! Slow day at the store for customers but time went pretty fast because we got our shipment and had to unbox and put it away. Lol not to mention that the first 4 hours we were negative dollars because of a big return from online shopper.

    Cardio: Walk/jog- 260 calories

    Strength: quads- linear leg press, Smith machine squats, bulgarian squats, leg extensions 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment: I caved and had Taco Bell for dinner. Good news is that there was no weight change.

    Happy weekend! One client and then clean up the house and laundry and football the rest of the day. My ex and DD are going to LA for the week because my DD has auditions for dance opportunity to join a group. I hope she does well.

    Cardio: Walk/jog- 260 calories

    Strength: hamstrings- seated leg curls, lying leg curls, stiff legged deadlifts 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment: Panda Express for dinner. 9ers NEED to win this week to stay within the race in their division and also because they are my pick for Elimination league.

    Cardio: Walk/jog- 260 calories

    Strength: shoulders- machine shoulder press, rope face pulls, rear lateral raises, side lateral raises, single arm cable side laterals, shrugs with dumbbells 4x12,10,8,6

    Cardio: Treadmill incline walk - 600 calories

    Food: Last night was lasagna with side salad

    Fantasy Football: Entered the week a double-digit favorite, entered SNF trailing and nervous. Turns out I need not have been, as King Henry went nuclear. Still three players left on MNF (team defense mine, two players him), though should have a big enough lead to be safe. SHOULD being the operative word.

    Hey gang

    Happy Tuesday! New month and new plan for holidays so I don't go off track by the beginning of the year!!!!! Off today, but have conference call. Gotta due some writing today for a friend submitting a testimonial for a friend who's joining the police force. Also I've collected enough bottles this month to go to recycling and turn them in for cash so I'll do that today as well as get a pedicure.

    Cardio: Walking/jog- 260 calories

    Strength: chest- Hammer incline bench, machine flat bench, dips, cable crossovers 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment: Hamburger for dinner with no bun. Weigh in today for monthly contest with Dietbet. Lost in FFL, but at least Seattle lost and the 9ers move up the division.

    Hey gang!

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Humpday! With the new month in hopefully they'll be more foot traffic as holidays start to creep up. Mon-Thurs the mall traffic is pretty dead and the majority of sales are to mostly mall employees just coming over to buy energy drinks.

    Cardio: jog/walk- 30 minutes (300 calories)

    Strength: biceps- barbell curls, dumbbell curls, preacher curls, cable curls 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment: I broke and had to have Taco Bell last night after meeting weigh in. Luckily for me it was only a pound gain this morning. I'll have to get back on plan and work a little bit harder today. As for FFL, it's bye week time so I may be able to pull off some wins I shouldn't if I stream and put in players correctly. I don't always pick a great team, but I tend to do good with pick ups and winning in the bye weeks against opponents. Just gotta make the playoffs baby! And in my Survivor pool there's only 15 left of 62 after just 4 weeks of football. Last year it went all the way to week 14 because all you had to do was pick against the Panthers! :D And while the Panthers still suck this year, I wouldn't bet against them playing Jacksonville this week.

    Cardio: Treadmill 8% incline walk - 635 calories

    Food: Last night was Taco Tuesday

    Fantasy Football: Got the free agent waivers I wanted overnight, heading into the bye weeks feeling pretty secure despite being a double-digit underdog this week due to Jonathan Taylor missing a couple weeks with an ankle injury. Kicking myself for not bidding more on WR Dionte Johnson a couple weeks ago, as the Fantasy Football radio program I listen to on the way to work had him ranked as the #5 WR this week.

    Hey gang!

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Thursday! My DM dropped in on my yesterday, a day earlier than I thought. It went pretty well because I was organized and knew most of all she asked me, but apologized that she wasn't able to spend time with me initially after being hired. Luckily for me I'm a pretty fast learner and that I also have a associate who was a former manager so he knew all the ups and downs of paperwork and procedures. All in all it went pretty well.

    Cardio: Walk/jog- 260 calories

    Strength: back- pulldowns, bent over barbell rows, seated cable rows, pullovers 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment: Steak and green beans for dinner. My day at work went pretty fast because I was busy all day. Also had some good sales while I was on the floor based on how many people came in (10 the whole day).

    Strength: triceps- rope pressdowns, overhead tricep extensions, dips, lying tricep extensions 4x12,10,8,6

    I used to do Dietbets. Sure they're gimmicky, but when I wasn't motivated by health reasons alone money did the trick. Six years ago I lost 40 pounds (over a two year time span) and the first 30 lbs off were due to DB.

    Hey gang,

    Happy weekend! Normally I only close a couple of nights during the week, but this week it's 4 nights! I close tonight again on a Saturday, but luckily my old *kitten* doesn't do anything on Saturday nights but rest and then go to sleep! Hahahahahaha!

    Cardio: Walk/jog- 260 calories

    Happy weekend! One client and then clean up the house and laundry and football the rest of the day. I really need to win this weekend in FFL or I'll be 1-4.

    Cardio: Walk/jog- 260 calories

    Strength: hamstrings- seated leg curls, lying leg curls, stiff legged deadlifts 4x12,10,8,6

    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Monday! Well I DIDN'T have the day off since my associate called out, so I worked all day in the store yesterday. Luckily I could stream off my phone to watch some of the games. Unfortunately the 9ers lost and I also got ousted of the Survivor Pool I was in too.

    Cardio: Walk/jog- 260 calories

    Strength: shoulders- machine shoulder press, rope face pulls, rear lateral raises, side lateral raises, single arm cable side laterals, shrugs with dumbbells 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment: Fried chicken for dinner. I was in calorie limits so that was a good pick me up after a crappy work day.

    Weights: Upper Body - Power

    Bench Press 5x8
    Cable Row 5x5
    Mac Decline Press 5x5
    Machine High Row 5x5
    Seated Smith OHP 3x10
    Preacher Curl 3x10, 8, 6
    Cable Pushdown 3x10
    Cable Woodchoppers 3x10

    Analysis: My wrist felt great during lifting, thing of the past. I'm switching my BB decline bench back to machine, and my BB OHP back to Smith, both cases because of shoulder instability as the weights go up.

    Food: Last night was Papa Murphy's take-n-bake pizza

    Fantasy Football: Closer week than anticipated, but unless something wacky happens on MNF I should win to go 4-1. But that pales beside my Broncos finally breaking the 8-game losing streak to our hated rival Raiders, and now we're 3-2 with winnable games each of the next three weeks!

    Happy Tuesday! Off today FINALLY and I get to work on some cleaning up at home and HAVE to mow the lawn. Other than that, I'll enjoy a day off.

    Cardio: Walking/jog- 260 calories

    Strength: chest- Hammer incline bench, machine flat bench, dips, cable crossovers 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment: Leftover fried chicken for dinner. I'll have to scale back on the fried foods in order to continue my weight loss trend.

    Denver is interesting this year. Maybe the darkhorse of the league to make playoffs. Also I think they are the team that has a great chance to knock KC from winning the AFC West. All the while the 9ers are stinking it up. NFC West wide open, but we HAVE to win this Thursday to have a decent chance to win the West.

    Hey gang!

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Humpday! Will interview a new person today to see if they are a good candidate to work in my store. GNC is more of a customer service related sales store than say Walmart, Target etc. so associates have to be more knowledgeable and caring about their positions.

    Cardio: jog/walk- 30 minutes (300 calories)

    Strength: biceps- barbell curls, dumbbell curls, preacher curls, cable curls 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment: Panda Express for dinner last night. Finally made the decision to drop one of my better players in FFL cause he's likely out for the year after surgery. Lol, this sucks so bad because I thought I had a great team put together.

    Cardio: Treadmill 10% incline walk - 705 calories

    Food: Last night was burn pit roasted hotdogs and s'mores (with a protein shake chaser)

    Fantasy Football: Sent an offer to the guy who has Nico Collins on his team, since he just got put on IR. My logic is give the other guy a WR he can keep using now since his team is loaded with injured players, while I load up on another superstar who can hopefully be available in time to help me in the playoffs. Something tells me, though, that the other owner will veto the trade on the grounds that my guy offered is inferior to his guy, which would be true if both were healthy. Not a lot of trades, though tons of activity on the waiver wire every week. Who knows, maybe he'll drop Nico Collins in a few weeks and I can scoop him up, like I have a couple other guys who are now every-week starters for me.

    Cardio: Walk/jog- 260 calories

    Strength: back- pulldowns, bent over barbell rows, seated cable rows, pullovers 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment: Taco Bell for dinner because I didn't want to cook. Had a 1000 calories for dinner to spare so I had a burrito and Mexican pizza.

    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy TGIF! I'm actually off today because I had to work last Sunday. But that gives me a chance to get some stuff done that I usually can't because the places I need to go are usually closed on Sunday.

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

    Strength: triceps- rope pressdowns, overhead tricep extensions, dips, lying tricep extensions 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment Pork loin for dinner with corn. The 9ers won last night and are now back in 1st place but at the expense of my FFL players since I had Metcalf, Walker and the SEA Def. Also had Mason who got nipped in the 2nd half. Lol, what a rough way to play FFL this year.

    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Monday! I hired a new employee last week and he starts today. Which means with the current guys I got, I'll have to siphon some of their hours to accommodate him. Hopefully they aren't set in thinking that their always going to have the hours they have. On the bright side, since it's my hire I can teach him to be like me because prerequisite is that he knows it's a sales job and that there are certain criteria he has to meet.

    Cardio: Walk/jog- 260 calories

    Strength: shoulders- machine shoulder press, rope face pulls, rear lateral raises, side lateral raises, single arm cable side laterals, shrugs with dumbbells 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment: Sushi for dinner and pineapple for dessert. As for FFL, I lost badly yesterday although I wish I would have played nossmf.
