Today was a day of giving things away. Well, at least two things were given away—1 willingly and 1 not so willingly. Allow me to explain. As you all know by now, my son, Matty, is a goalie on a pretty bad hockey team. The team has not won a game yet this season, even against must weaker opponents. His team is currently involved in a Christmas tournament. At the same time, I’ve been holding tickets to the Chargers v. Broncos game for close to 6 months. The game happened to be on the same day as one of his games. Because we had no chance at the championship game, I spoke to the coach and got his approval for Matty to attend the football game with me. This was done yesterday. Throughout the night I kept waking up thinking “What if they win and we are not there?” It was really bothering me. When I woke up I spoke to Matty about it. He admitted to having the same thought. After some time he told me he was calling the coach and he was going to the game. At that point I knew I had to make a big decision. I was going to give away tickets to see my favorite team (the Broncos) so that I could watch my son play hockey. We gave the tickets to a neighbor and it literally made his day. He was so excited. Fast forward several hours and I am at the hockey rink. The game starts and obviously our team is the better team. We manage to score a goal in the second period. Later, our other goalie (who was playing because the coach promised him he’d play the day before when he thought Matty would be in San Diego) and one of our defensemen botched a play on the puck and an easy goal was scored. The game remained tied at 1-1 for a very long time. With 18 seconds left, one of our forwards made a mistake, passed the puck back into our zone to one of our defensemen. The defenseman looked up and tried to clear our zone. He hit a very weak pass and it was intercepted by the other team who came in 1 on 0 on the goalie and scored to take a 2-1 lead with just 18 seconds left! Yes, we had managed to give away what would have been the first game we DIDN’T lose. Needless to say, it was a huge disappointment!

 I did 60 minutes of steady state cardio today. I think I am going to be using Cardio Coach in the New Year. I really like those workouts and my current workouts are not working as well as I’d like anymore. I think I’ve plateaued, so I need to change it up. |

 Plateaus can take you off course unless you recognize them and make changes. |
