    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy TGIF! Full schedule. Looking to get everything done today and Saturday so I can focus on the game. Still deciding if I am going to go.

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

    Strength: triceps- pressdowns, lying tricep extensions, cable kickbacks, machine dips 4x12,10,8,6.

    Assessment: Taco Bell again for dinner.

    Cardio:
    Treadmill - 25m incline walk
    Elliptical - 5km hills
    Walking dog - 30m

    Analysis: Lesson learned. The cardio machines have TV or internet hookups, to allow you to watch a show or login to Netflix account while exercising. But the treadmill I hopped on while waiting for the elliptical to open had its TV hookup busted, and I'd left my iPod in my locker. In the future, will bring my iPod anyway, so I can at least listen to music. On the plus side, I've lost another .7 pounds this week, which at this pace I'll be below 180 by the time I resume lifting. Wonder how much that'll impact my strength levels.

    Food: Date night tonight, wife's choice, so not sure where we're going. Have a hankering for salmon, which is available at both her favorite Italian and steak houses. But if she chooses something else, I may have to improvise to ensure I get enough protein on the day.

    Happy weekend! Workout then I'll clean the house and watch today's games. Still haven't decided if I'm going to game or not tomorrow.

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

    Strength: quads- leg press, squats, hack squats, leg extensions 4x12,10,8,6

    Cardio: Grocery shopping

    Food: Lunch - hamburger and fries, Dinner - Mongolian steak with rice

    Addendum: For last night's date night, we ended up going to Red Lobster, about the last place I'd ever expect my seafood-hating wife to choose, but apparently she enjoys their chicken alfredo. So I got my salmon last night after all.

    NFL: You sure you can actually get tickets this close to a playoff match? And if so, ye gods, I bet they're costing a pretty penny!

    You can get a ticket into the 3rd quarter. Right now tickets are at $500 and up for a nosebleed seat.

    Hey gang,

    Happy Monday! Full schedule and kickboxing tonight. I ended up going to the game and it was so much fun. Lol, in the first quarter, a Cowboys fan in front of me who was wasted said "I'm not going to listen to you scream behind me all night". I told him get used to it because it's a *kitten* game and rivalry. He ended up leaving to get more drinks by the middle of second quarter and I never saw him again.

    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 for dinner. I had no time to cook anything after getting home late.

    Cardio: Racing to work after waking in the morning to sunshine rather than my alarm clock.

    NFL: Only went 2-2 on my predictions for the games this weekend. Rather a letdown week after the amazing games of last weekend.

    Cardio: Elliptical - 1hr hills

    Analysis: My gym added a few more elliptical machines, so hopefully I won't have to compete for one going forward. The elliptical is much easier on my knees than the treadmill.

    Food: Lunch - leftover Pizza Hut, Dinner - chicken fajitas

    Cardio: Elliptical - one hour hills

    Analysis: Something was up with the gym staff this morning, as the doors are supposed to open at 5am but were still closed at 5:20. During that 20 minute wait a line formed to get in, while I observed at least a dozen cars arrive, wait for maybe a minute or two, then leave without anybody getting in/out. Kinda makes me wonder where they are planning to go, if they're in such a hurry they can't afford to wait around a little bit for the gym to open. Heck, if nothing else wouldn't they want to come in and shower and change into work clothes? Or am I the only person who arrives at the gym already wearing my gym clothes (minus wearing my boots to walk through snow etc with my gym sneakers in my bag)?

    Food: Lunch - Mongolian steak with rice, Dinner - homemade pizza

    Life: Today's my youngest daughter's birthday. In order to spend the day with her family, she elected to spend yesterday after school with her friends. Very considerate of her...if she'd bothered to tell us her plans. Wife and I didn't know where she was, she wasn't answering her phone/texts. Didn't get to the point of calling the cops, but the death stares were flying when she did get home around 9.

    Cardio: Elliptical - one hour hills

    Analysis: After doing elliptical three days in a row, my quads are telling me they've gotten enough exercise this week. Think I'll set a treadmill at an incline tomorrow to give my quads a break. My iPod is already in my gym shorts pocket, so no worries about forgetting it, lol.

    Food: Lunch - fried chicken with sweet potatoes, Dinner - sautéed summer sausage with potatoes au gratin

    Cardio: Treadmill - 1 hour incline (3 miles, 640 calories, 1650 feet climb)

    Analysis: Broke the hour up into six "hills" where I start the ten minute segment at low elevation, and increase by 1 degree every minute. Start of the next hill I go back down to 1 degree higher than the previous segment, so each of the six hills was slightly steeper than the one before. Even keeping the pace a constant, steady walking pace I was breathing hardy towards the end of each hill.

    Food: Lunch - Chick-Fil-A, Dinner - chicken stir fry with rice and veggies

    Happy Monday! Full schedule and kickboxing tonight. Well, it was a good season and wished it ended up better. As soon as Purdy went down, I pretty much knew that game was over because Johnson sucks. Well onto the Warriors and hoping for them to pick it up and go for another championship run.
