Hey everyone…I didn’t go anywhere. This is my EXTREMELY busy time of the year…I work for UPS. So until the end of the year I’ll probably only be able to get in the gym 3-4 days a week.

Keep it up! Thank you for your incredibly vital job this time of year, and all year!
Stay safe and healthy.
That’s right! I always forget that. Thanks for working long hours so we can get our Amazon deliveries! Get some rest when you can and we look forward to seeing your workouts as well!
Thanx Mike…I don’t actually deliver your pkgs..but I make the magic happen for the drivers…I’m a supervisor. But it’s still a ton of work and 12-15 hr days, 6 days a week right now. I’ve worked for UPS for 10 years now and I’ve never seen it so busy!
Yeah sorry if what I said was offensive. I knew you weren’t a driver. I was saying thanks for being a part of the process that the rest of us take for granted.
Don’t be silly..I was not offended…I don’t get offended…im to old for that…lol
I just don’t want people to think I’m the one out actually delivering their pkgs…because that’s a damn tough job and those guys deserve all the credit!!
Yay!! Hi and glad you are doing well!!! You crushed it today!!! I am sure you are getting LOTS of steps in with work!
Thanx Nichole…I’m not a delivery driver, I’m a supervisor, but I’m on my feet for 12-15 hr work days…6 days a week this time of year. Really trying to balance work/life…it’s killing my soul not being able to be in the gym more..but I know more right now is actually less. So…I’ll do the right thing…
Those are some long days!! But you are right in keeping things balanced since you are on your feet so much throughout the day! Hope your work calms down a bit in the near future!
