Getting Crushed in the NFL Playoff Bet and Back Exercises

Every year my partner Rebecca and I have a bet. Whoever picks the most winning teams during the NFL playoffs wins the bet. The loser has to make the winner the meal of their choice. Once we get to the Superbowl, the bet is for the dessert with that meal. Right now, Rebecca has picked all four winning teams in the wild card round and I have gone a very poor 1-3. Gambling is a profession I should never pursue.

It was great to workout with some heavier weights again and feel a little smoked after a session. I was also really happy to have one of my more dedicated workout partners return to work at NOLS Southwest this season. Things are looking good for 2015..... except for my football picks, of course.

Today's quote is from Hunter S. Thompson:

"There are many harsh lessons to be learned from the gambling experience, but the harshest one of all is the difference between having fun and being smart."
