Happy New Week, my Best Buddies:
Exercise is consistent. I will be going to New York to visit relatives Wednesday and already have the gym lined up there so I can stay on track.
My nutrition has been up and down...when I get back from the visit, I will need to review my food choices and calories. I am up to about 164 on the Idiot Boxes and not happy about it. I am trying to maintain and build muscle while introducing some carbs...but my gain is not all muscle!
It is a delicate balance! And, Let's Go Red Sox!
#Burn the fat, Feed the muscle
Short Range Goals:
* Start and maintain the "cut" to return to goal weight on Idiot Boxes
* Drink at least 14 - 16 cups of fresh water daily - especially on gym days
* Continue HIIT mixed in with weight lifting four to five days
* Keep up the training notebook to achieve progressive overload
Long Range Goals: 2016-2017
*Bodyfat at 20% (Current 23.75%)
*Maintain Idiot Boxes around 152-156lbs staying under goal weight
*Increased strength, endurance and flexibility during workouts
Words of the Week:“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” ~Colin Powell
I am dedicated, determined and diligent!

Have a great time in NY and enjoy relatives and the meals .......then work like crazy at the gym... I did well this weekend did not overdo food....... But had one meal out at Chinese restaurant and it was very salty. Maybe because I don't add salt to my cooking any more ..... Water today.

If you've been lifting weights consistently for over a year, I suspect you've hit your ceiling in building muscle. I've found that the only way to get rid of the outside fat covering up the beautiful muscle is to cut back on the lifting and instead focus on daily cardio. Women's bodies can get really cut just by sticking to situps/crunches & pushups (speaking from experience).

@SSS: I do HIIT for cardio. Cardio is not necessary though for the plan I am following. Everything I read says HIIT is best.

You amaze me ven on vacation you find a gym to go to that's wonderful. Enjoy your vacation.

HIIT sounds great, and even more so if you really enjoy it. Just take my suggestion as something to try if you ever hit a plateau and need to shake things up. I dropped 5 pounds in one week when I got stuck for 2 months by changing my cardio to 4 days/week and dropped my lifting to just 1 day.
