Nice job on the abs and cardio. Yeah man, you are preaching to the choir here. One of my wife’s biggest hobbies is finding the best bakeries around and buying them out of cookies, cinnamon buns, etc. I try to resist but give in most of the time. Then, this past weekend, the annual “she-devils” came around wearing their green uniforms. This girl walks straight up to the end of my driveway pulling a wagon filled with girl scout cookies. I’m like, “God does not want me to lose weight…”

I hear ya. My wife is good at deserts and candy. She always has some kind of crack laying around. LoL
I guess if our wives don’t mind us having bellies why should we care. 
My son brought home a “fundraiser” aka cookie book for school. Soon the house will be full of more cookies.
It’s a battle man, that’s for sure!

Decent day. Chest definitely had a pump and was worked hard today. I would like to add some high and low cable work but my elbow is still pissed.

I told my wife she was subconsciously attempting to make me unattractive to any potential competition.
Didn’t go over well. I don’t advise anyone to say this.

When you have as many relatives as I do there’s always a great niece or nephew selling cookies, cookie dough, even Boston butts for some sport or function.

That’s it. One of my buddies is 3 weeks out from having his first son so me and some of my friends took him out for a fair well boys night.
I managed to dodge the shots of tequila but did drink to many beers.
Took it easy on the peloton as I was a little hungover.
Mostly a lazy day around the casa today. Son has a cold and with it being cold I mostly laid around and watched tv.

Nice job on those last few sessions Shane. One hell of an incline chest day and some good cardio/abs work as well. Glad you got your buddy out for a send off. The first kid is tough because you don’t know what to expect. The second one is way worse. I’ve drank almost every day since.

That’s it. Didn’t hit my weight goal this week. With it being Super Bowl weekend this week will be tough also.
Everyone at my house has the flu so I am looking forward to that.
We leave for Disney in 2 weeks. At least we are getting this shit out of the way before then.

“That’s it,” says he. Hah! That’s a ton of work, my friend. Well done!
Hope your household gets better soon and that it skips you altogether.

LoL. Appreciate it. RDL’s were not on the schedule today but there was someone using the hip thrust machine and I didn’t feel like crawling around on the floor with a BB so I while waiting I did RDL’s. Next Leg day will be less eventful.
Thank you for the well wishes.

+1 to Sven’s comment. That was a ton of work. Way to get it all done. Hopefully the hip doesn’t bother you too much. Sorry to hear everyone has the flu. I am praying that doesn’t happen to us as we all seem to have some lingering issues from Covid. At least you are getting it out of the way before Disney.

Appreciate it Trent. The hip has been doing ok. Probably because I have been resting it. LoL.
My wife took the money to my son’s school for his fundraiser today and the teacher said his whole class minus 3 people were all out with the flu this week.
Hopefully your family dodges this plague.

Rest day.
I have my schedule set up to have a rest day every 10th day.
LISS for 20 minutes on the treadmill.
Steam room, then to the hot tub, then to sauna.
Clocked in at 60 minutes.

Nice job on the rest day Shane. Even though LISS is not rest. 
Steam room? Hot tub? Dude, if you would have gotten a massage I think I could forgive the LISS. Ha ha ha… Hope you are able to keep dodging the flu. Our kids are still in masks at school here so hopefully that will help us dodge it. But knowing our school board, they will probably get rid of masks at the worst possible time and everyone will get the flu. Hopefully they will keep them around until the end of February and maybe we’ll be out of the woods by then.

The liss was mostly to get my legs moving. Holy hell they are sore today.
Yeah our school district doesn’t mandate masks. Honestly, I am glad they don’t, but I get the sentiment on keeping the kids flu free. I think my wife has definitely got the worse of it. Somehow it has passed me by.
Ha ha, yeah, I noticed my legs were sore when I started doing LISS again after covid. Glad your school district doesn’t mandate masks. I see some benefit to the masks as the kids here rarely got sick when they mandated them. That was, until omicron… There was no stopping that… They go back and forth here. They lifted the mandate right before the holidays, only to bring it back right when school started back in January. This is the one time of year when I don’t mind it. If they are going to go back and forth with it, hell, just leave the masks on until we get past flu season. That may be a bigger risk than omicron was anyway. Maybe I’m just being self-serving, but I don’t feel like getting another major virus right now…
