Happy New Week, my Best Buddies!
Yesterday I completed my Orange Theory Fitness workout that was a 90 minute class! Usually classes are about 60 minutes. I was whipped after with the extra weight work, TRX straps and cardio. I want to get in the extended class every Sunday but there is always a "waitlist" to get in to it!
My nutrition has been erratic and carb-laden...not good for me, and not my usual behavior. Something emotional is going on but not sure what yet. My husband says I appear depressed. I have a lot going on, I guess.
Let's make April better than March!

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!

Could it be that you're suffering from a bout of menu boredom? It's easy to get stuck in a rut, eating the same items on a daily basis. Too easy to derail when faced with other choices, if trying new recipes is not part of your weekly repertoire.

That stuff with Bodhi was stressful. And if I recall correctly, you have a young relative going through chemo and are also concerned you might have to miss a family wedding. Plus you are constantly exposed to other people's angst at work and here. Thank goodness good weather is coming and you'll be able to have lots of top down days! I call my convertible my therapy car.....

Did you enjoy the TRX workout? Sorry to hear that you may be depressed. Sometimes being outside helps keep the blues away.
