Greetings my fanciful followers!
I hope everyone out in the community is doing well. I am not pleased with progress on the Idiot Box this week - still circling around my last posted weight.
Muscle tissue holds fluid when in the repair mode and I am back at Orange Theory this week after a four day break...so that could be part of the fluctuations.
About one week ago I reviewed my macros and started to lower the protein and increase the carbs and calories a little...still not convinced yet that is the way to go. I believe my carb quota is the most important part of the variable right now...15% or less is probably sufficient overall. So yet ANOTHER tweak to stay on track.
Note to self: April 50-55/30-35/10-15

Short Range Goals:
* Movement down on the Idiot Boxes while retaining muscle by year end 2018 * Bodyfat % reading with trainer in late MAY/JUNE, 2018 * Drink at least 12-14 cups of fresh water daily - especially on gym days * Continue HIIT mixed in with weight lifting four to five days a week * Keep up the training notebook to achieve progressive overload
Long Range Goals: 2018/2019 *Bodyfat at 26% or less (Current 29.8%) by end 2018/early 2019 *Longer range body fat goal is 22% - which at my age is great! *Maintain 160lbs staying under goal weight by end 2018/early 2019 *Increased strength, endurance and flexibility during workouts

I feel very fanciful today, how good of you to notice! LOL I was thinking of you while I was at the gym yesterday - you should have seen me doing dead lifts. I was in beast mode. Well, it sounds like you are always thinking about your plan and tweaking. What is Orange Theory - your gym? Is that a gym with a certain program?

You're inspiring me to join a gym. Not quite there yet but soon.

You are doing so great, a little dip is okay but I wish you luck on tweaking your plan! You've certainly got this!!
