HCB's Journal, 05 June 2018

Greetings my Finicky Followers:

I am having lots of carb cravings lately but resisting all the urges successfully. I think I am anxious about my upcoming four day teaching stint this weekend - it is that old familiar emotion/food connection.

Fortunately, I "surf" the urges by just noticing and acknowledging them - then letting go. Staying on my plan and logging every day is an absolute for me if I want to make my June goals this month.

I have a food plan for the training days, but will get less exercise than I would like since the days are 8:30am until 7:30pm.

Keeping my carbs low will be the key.

Note to self: 45/55, 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 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
