Hey gang,

I like myself unconditionally!

Happy Monday! Full schedule and kickboxing tonight. Well the Warriors won a road game and the 9ers won their division so a good weekend. Also, I was able to clean everything I needed to before my BIL and SIL arrive in a few days.

Cardio: walk/run - 30 min (350 calories)

Strength: shoulders- machine shoulder press, side laterals, machine rear laterals, facepulls, front dumbell raises 4x12,10,8,6

Assessment: McDonald's last night for me.

Workout Update: Dropping a note to say I haven't disappeared; I just haven't been hitting the gym either. Towards the end of last week's rest to eliminate some nagging injuries, I had developed a couple more, so I'm unofficially taking the rest of the year off from lifting to try to get rid of everything (elbow, hip, grip) once and for all before resuming weights with the new year.

Christmas Surprise: With my son getting ready to report to military basic training after New Year's, we've been making plans for how to spend as much quality time together as possible before then. Over the weekend he completely blew me away by surprising me with an early Christmas gift of tickets for the two of us plus his brother to go see the Broncos live. Weather was great, the Broncos snapped a 5-game losing streak, and we had an absolute blast!

FFL: When I got back home, I checked on my team in round one of the fantasy playoffs. Good news is my team scored more than 20 points better than my season average! Bad news is my opponent scored more than 30 points better than his average. I theoretically have a shot to advance if his QB Aaron Rodgers suffers a complete meltdown, but I'm not liking my chances. Looks like I'll be down to a single team left for a shot at a title.

Happy Tuesday! Full schedule today and kbox class. Gym was really busy yesterday and people bringing us all sorts of goodies.

Cardio: walk- 30 minutes (150 calories)

Strength: chest- incline chest press, machine chest press, cable crossovers, machine dips. 4x12,10,8,6

Assessment: Sushi for dinner. My weight has stayed steady which is good.

nossmf

Food: Lunch - spaghetti, Dinner - fajitas

Assessment: Weight has held steady without working out, though I not only mentally really want a good lifting session, plus I feel I'm losing my tone just a tad. I'm also planning on baking a bunch of holiday cookies with my kids on Friday, which is guaranteed to put me over calories for the weekend. I will not stop from enjoying them, but I may need to take my dog for an extra walk or three to help burn at least a few calories. Though maybe not the next few days...projected daytime high temps are supposed to be low single digits with a negative windchill.

FFL: As feared, I lost in round 1 of the playoffs, when I would have won had I swapped QB's (started Herbert who did nothing, benched Prescott who would have won it for me). I have one team left in contention (out of 4), facing a division rival for the third time this season. I've gone 2-0 against him so far, and am projected as an early 2.5 point favorite to win a hat-trick and advance.

Happy Humpday! Full schedule and it's my long day. 2 days left for school. Can't wait.

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

Strength: biceps- barbell curls, dumbbell curls, high cable curls 4x 12,10,6.

Assessment: Steak and salad for dinner. Warriors lost again. Right now not looking good for them to repeat as champs.

Happy Thursday! Full schedule and class this morning. Last day of school for the year! My BIL and SIL are arriving today to stay with us for the holidays.

Cardio: walk- 30 minutes (200 calories)

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

Assessment: Panda Express for dinner. Warriors lose big again against KD and company. With no Curry, Klay or Wiggins, the Warriors are a 2nd rate team which is concerning since they have only a few years left and this is what our starting core may be.

Just hopping on to wish you Merry Christmas, sir. My only workouts have been shivering in the sub-zero cold and roaming the kitchen making dozens of cookies. I hesitate to wonder what my weight will be come the new year when I next weigh myself; I'm tracking my main meals to ensure I get adequate protein, but not tracking all the treats I'm having in addition. No football for me this week, today is all about baking plus church services as part of the choir for multiple services, tomorrow I'm not even gonna ask to watch football on Christmas day. I'm projected as a 3-pt favorite in my semi-final matchup for fantasy, so here's hoping.

Merry Christmas to you sir! Hope you have a great one with your family. FFL is a non factor to me now so all I care about are the 49ers winning.

Happy Monday! Full schedule and kickboxing tonight. Great weekend with family on Christmas eve and day and Warriors and 49ers both won!

Cardio: walk/run - 30 min (350 calories)

Strength: shoulders- machine shoulder press, side laterals, machine rear laterals, facepulls, front dumbell raises 4x12,10,8,6

Assessment: Not even going to try to figure out my calories. I'm sure I'm up a pound or so.

Looks like I'm advancing to the finals in my FFL, as I have a 1.5 point lead, he's tapped out, and I have Mike Williams still to go. I guess theoretically I could still lose if Williams catches a 4-yard pass, fumbles, gets hurt and leaves the game, but I like my chances of that particular scenario not playing out.
