Greetings my Best Buddies:
Hope everyone is well today. I am pushing along on my goals for April.
I am not sure I will hit my Idiot Box goal but it is much less important to me than the bodyfat percentage goal. I really want to hit 27% on my next trainer visit. I am pushing to use heavier dumbbells for most moves - I use 20lb up to 40lb dependent upon the move...and am keeping the carb percentage in check.
Keep On, everyone! We can do it!
CURRENT GOALS: March/April
* Idiot Box consistent weight of 165 by May 6
* Bodyfat at 27% by May 6 (last reading 27.9%)
* Macros consistent: Average 65%-70% fat, 23%-26% protein and 9% (or less) carbs, with NET carbs always less than 20 grams daily
* Consume more fiber within the daily carbs macro
* Continue to lift heavier at gym – increase reps on heaviest weights
* Continue HIIT during cardio work
* Do the “crab” move by May 6 – I know what this means
LONG RANGE GOALS: 2016
* Bodyfat at 25% or less (24%)
* Idiot Box at 153-158 (85-90lbs lost)
* Increased strength and flexibility
Words of the Week: "It’s not the mistakes in life that are important; it’s what we learn from them.”
I am dedicated, determined and diligent

for the increased flexibility -i added yoga in my routine in the last month and a half. You should really give a yoga class a try. My teacher is awesome. She incorporates strength and flexibility. I have come a good way for only a month and a half. I do train with weights on the side but its nice to have yoga where its relaxing yet I am still working muscles I wouldn't normally work just training. I mean give those balancing poses a try! Some are crazy hard

HCB key thing with weight lighter more reps means leaner and strong, heavier less reps is building more muscle which I am sure you already know. I have faith in you that you can accomplish any goal you desire

Wow! You are definitely an inspiration for all of us. I wish I could afford a trainer. Keep up the great work, and, thanks for sharing.

@Rockies Fan: Yup, we often do a ladder of reps on each move so as the reps get higher, I go a little lower on the dumbbells - and the opposite when reps go lower the weight gets heavier. It's all fun!

LOL @ amorgan67 - the crab move is illustrated in my March 21st journal entry! It is a bridge move with alternating toe touches...not easy!
|
Impressive history and photos ! and very positive attitude Bravo!
