    Workout: Cardio - Incline treadmill walk - 1hr (796 calories)

    Analysis: Calories are down, not because the workout intensity/duration changed, but because I updated my weight in the treadmill computer, which decided I must burn fewer calories to do the same movements.

    Food: Last night was French onion chicken with tater tots

    Fantasy Football: I stupidly let go of the Denver Defense last week, and somebody else sniped them away from me. Here's hoping starting whatever defense faces Dallas will be worth using each week (this week is Washington, which I was able to get). I swear, if I end up missing out on the playoffs, it will be because I dropped the wrong guys...Denver's D, WR Courtland Sutton (now a steady WR2 when I desperately need one), RB Jonathan Brooks (just watch him go off after sitting in my IR nearly all year)...

    That's good to know. While anecdotal, how you look is what matters the most.

    Not sure if you're serious, or being tongue-in-cheek.

    And here this entire time I've thought it was how you feel that counts most!

    Food: 2 peanut butter oatmeal energy balls and a slice of sourdough toast for brekky; leftover hashbrown veggie casserole for lunch; two different (small) smoothies for dinner: the Mayan chocolate without too much cayenne this time and a raspberry pineapple one (yum). I bought cocoa nibs from Amazon and guess what--they aren't that good in smoothies imho. I'm not sure I believe in the whole "superfood" concept anyway, but after colon cancer, I've wanted to do something differently.

    Exercise: 60 min yesterday (about half walking outside and half gym time); 20 min. today, all outside walking.

    Work: LOTS of grading freshman research papers. Really ready for Thanksgiving break.

    Yeah, when you have to let someone go because of byes and watch them get snatched up it sucks. I tried to get the DEN D, but I was pretty much out of FAB. And AT LEAST your shot at the playoffs are WAY BETTER THAN MINE. How many close games have I lost due to just playing the wrong team each week? :D

    Hey gang!

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Thursday! Man yesterday I didn't get my first customer till after 12:30pm (we open at 10am). But I finished my shift strong picking up some good sales along the way. Thursday is usually the slowest day of the week for us, but I have some things that need to get done today before shipment tomorrow.

    Cardio: Walk/jog- 260 calories

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

    Assessment: Asian short ribs, rice and salad for dinner. On the FFL front, my team looks pretty bland with Burrow and Chase sitting this week. Hopefully Goff goes off like he did last week. I need to win out just to even have a glimmer of hope for playoffs.

    One of my leagues the first four playoff slots are earned by record, the final two go to the highest-scoring teams who are not already in. My first year playing I went 0-13, but was the #1 scoring team in the league...just always the #2 in any given week, playing that week's #1. But by points I got into the playoffs...and cruised my way to an easy championship.

    Have you ever thought about adjusting league settings to reserve the final spot for top scoring team?

    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy TGIF! Shipment day today at work. At least I won't be bored like the last 2 days where I had no customers for like the first 2 hours of work.

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

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

    Assessment Leftover chicken adobo and rice for dinner. Just me today for workout and no clients so I'll just cruise through my triceps and get some good cardio work done. I didn't even see last nights game so I'll have to see where I'm at on the FFL front. WIN or GO home for me each week now.

    That's something to consider. Part of the reason I gave a consolidation prize to top scorer was for that reason alone. Top scorer gets $60 at the end of the regular season. Same with best record.

    Weights: Lower Body

    Squat 4x10
    Rack Pull 4x10
    BB Hip Thrust 4x10
    Leg Press <<superset> Leg Press Calf Raise 4x10
    Seated Leg Curl 4x10
    Cable Crunch 4x10, 15, 20, 25

    Analysis: Must have slept wrong, as my lower back was grunting during squats, and the smart move was to not do rack pulls in that situation. So I swapped in hip thrusts instead. Been a while, felt awkward.

    Food: Last night was Whataburger (not my first choice, but no time to cook dinner before choir, and it was the only place still open after choir ended)

    Exercise: 20 min. of outside walking today; 18 min. on the stationary bike; 2 min. of sit-ups and skullcrushers.

    Food: B was chocolate oatmeal and a Starbucks caramel apple cider (waaaay too much sugar for such a little drink); L was half a Southwest Salad from Walmart; S was salmon and half a baked sweet potato, a little broccoli. Snack: 3 Lindor chocolate truffles. Normally chocolate derails me, but I put the rest of the bag in our garage fridge so I wouldn't see it and would have to make an extra effort to get some.
    --came in at about 1500 calories, so under my goal for the day. First time this week that's happened.

    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy weekend! Close tonight so my start is late today. Hopefully it's not too rainy like it was yesterday where people in their right damn minds can't seem to drive. I swear anytime it's first rain in the Bay Area, drivers seem to lose their skills.

    Cardio: Walk/jog- 260 calories

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

    Assessment: Spaghetti for dinner. It was a really boring day at work, so even after I did shipment, I spent extra time just walking around the store rearranging and cleaning just to burn some extra calories. Also hired a new employee and have to finish putting his orientation together for Monday. As for the FFL front I'm currently below projection and with my 2 best players on bye, need the others to have outstanding games against one of the better teams in the league.

    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy weekend! One client then I'm off the rest of the day. Will watch 9ers and clean the house and do regular chores.

    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 last night. It was a pretty boring day at work even though the mall was pretty crowded. Starting next week after Thanksgiving, the hours increase in the mall and my weekly budget on hours for employees hasn't increased. Ugh, that means that people will be working like 3 hour shifts each week with me covering the majority of longer shifts.
    FFL, it's do or die this week. A loss and my chances of playoffs is less than 5%.
