HCB's Journal, 28 March 2017

Greetings my Best Buddies!

I have been discouraged the last couple days since the Idiot Boxes seem stuck...but I used the rowing machine at the gym and totaled about 5000 meters today in addition to some floor work! WooHoo.

And, my main goal for March was to end up better than February...
March average macros 67% fat, 23% protein and 10% carbs with around 1300 calories a day. February average macros 60% fat, 23% protein and 17% carbs - so March is a great improvement!

Now, let's make April better than March!

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - Tom Venuto

Short Range Goals:
* Macros 60%-70% fat, 20-30% protein, 10% carbs - better under 10%!
* Back in the "Blue" on Idiot Boxes while retaining muscle - June?
* Schedule a bodyfat % reading with trainer for May?
* Drink at least 12 - 16 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: 2017
*Bodyfat at 20% (Current 24.5%) by year end 2017
*Maintain Idiot Boxes around 152-158lbs staying under goal weight
*Increased strength, endurance and flexibility during workouts
Words of the Week:“Temptation is not to be feared, but controlled.”
I am dedicated, determined and diligent!

Tough schlogging, and I'd say you're a better man than me, but that would just be stupid.

Super job with exercise as usual,!!!! :) what is your weight goal at this time?

@MaineCoon, well that is a great question. I would like to be in the 150's but my primary goal is to reduce bodyfat% - building muscle is difficult for me and I know I have body fat to lose. On the Idiot Box my goal is 160...but whenever I can get bodyfat at 20% or less - I would be thrilled!

Rowing machines are tough work, good for you! Spring is coming and then you can get outside too and do some bike riding.

HCB, you have been and continue to be a fitness warrior! I understand your feeling discouraged, but also know you will do what you need to do to reach your short and long term goals.
