Vanniek71 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'd love to find out more about your back specialist. Might be worth a trip your way to help my husband get his back in working order. Your Superb Owl may have been the only superb thing about this past Sunday. He's got an office in Mead, a little closer to you guys too Nico, here is his website, guy really knows his stuff (Works for the pro volleyball tour!) and he came highly reccomended. Tyler Fowler is his name. http://www.physicaldimensionsihg.com/ The Superb Owl was one of the most boring games in recent memory, and while I am not a Bronco fan, I was rooting for Peyton to win another one, and for the city of Denver, would have made it fun with all the buzz going around. And I was hoping for at least a nail biter of a game so it was fun to watch...instead I got to see Bruno Mars sing crappy songs, and the Chili peppers look like porn starts (What was up with Anthony Kidas' stache?)

Woke up, -15 degrees, get to work, get phone call, have to fire one of our best workers because owner "Only wants full timers" and since this guy has school there is no place for him, then get to work all day with said fired employee because he's a good guy and is finishing his shift, get off work, take kids to library because they love it, and well don't we all need to read more? Then 2 hours of homework in between stuffing random stuff in my face for dinner, then a little internet troll mockery, which to my enjoyment is working better than the original trolling, and then falling asleep at sometime after 11:37pm on the couch (last I saw clock).

Vanniek71 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Day 204 - Monday February 10thInfo: Monday February 10th is a day that will go down in infamy.....as the day I got fired for questioning "The Man"I questioned a decision made with no real logic behind it and stuck up for one of my employees, seeking an answer or at least some closure on the situation. A "why" if you will. I expressed my opinion on the situation, and apparently you aren't allowed to do that! (I had to fire an employee in good standing, because "That's what I want" - I'll include this in here now so you all aren't wondering later.) Instead of answers or any explanation, I was accused of being disrespectful, a negative influence, and was lied to several times and then fired.Sounds like a good way to run a business right? Oh yeah I almost forgot, my boss stuck up for me, and himself and he was also fired!!!....one HELL of a Monday. Don't question the "Man" And I just want to state for the record, because I know someone out there will take a screen shot and run right to the person I am referencing....I still think your decision was 100% bullsh*t and I would stick up for my employee if I had to do it all over again. Its called integrity. At least I don't lie to people, brah.Ok now that I have turned my rant off, lets get to the good stuff, which is eating healthy, working out, and getting back to the best we can be! Oh yeah one more thing.....Anybody hiring??? Food Log: Breakfast: Chicken, broccoli, cauliflower and onion curry - didn't know if I would like it, not too bad really! 14 almonds for fatLunch: Mexican style chicken with broccoli. Drizzled broccoli with clarified butter for fat Dinner: Chicken, broccoli, cauliflower and onion curry.

Now that I have been living under my own control, I didn't do that! Although beer and Del Taco sounds really tasty I'm not gonna lie, I stuck with whats working and whats healthy for me! People can change...it just takes time and effort! Food Log: Breakfast curry? Meh why not?

JohannaE Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I wonder why they don't recommend it permanently? If I were to take an honest guess, it's because after a certain amount of time you'll plateau with any "diet" and you stop seeing results, and that would be bad marketing for Whole30. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying it, but a lot of the novelty is in it being a short-term "challenge". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also an adviser for AdvoCare, and am building that business too, little by little the time I have to spend "working" away from family and friends is decreasing!

Vanniek71 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Day 212 - Tuesday February 18thInfo: Ahh Feb 18th....the day where I subjected myself to torture! As I write this....I am sore. No I'm @$%&&@*** Sore!!!! Cool challenge though, I actually had fun trying to do it, which included some random trips to peoples bathrooms to bush out squats or pushups so they didn't think I was an idiot all the sudden hopping up and down in their houses! I of course woke up 4 hours later than planned (I had an alarm set for 5am) and since I stayed up till 3am the night before, THAT wasn't happening. So what I did was add 4hrs to Wed in order to get my full time frame in. Results are posted in the exercise section below!Got some bulk cooking in again today, made 4lbs of seasoned ground beef, as well as another Holland Pie. I know I have been saying this a while now, but recipe for Holland Pie is being worked on, and will drop here shortly. Seriously if you try any of the recipes on this sight, you HAVE to try this one, it is out of this world, and even better when you eat it cold!!!! I don't always use 18 eggs to make Holland Pie...wait yes I do! Holland Pie at it's finest!!!

Dinner: Lettuce wrapped burritos and tacos, with ground beef, OOM, and hot sauce.Snack: none Exercise Log: Challenge was fun, but I came up a bit short. Missed my pushups goal by 53, and my plank goal by 2 minutes. The soreness is really what held me back I think, missing those 4 hours in the morning and adding them at the end, gave me time, but boy it was painful! I'll take it though, got a lot of work in, and its a good sore....gotta....keep....telling...myself...that..... Day 212 COMPLETE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
