Happy New Week, my Best Buddies:

I am back from our East Coast trip...and certainly up on the Idiot Boxes.

I had two excellent gym visits while I was gone. The gym was quite small and they had their weight room in the lower level. When I asked the desk person where the "heavy" dumbbells were, she looked puzzled and said, "Oh, most women never go downstairs!" Yup, I used the rowing machine and weights between 25lb and 60lb for upper and lower body work respectively.

This week I plan to revisit my nutrition plan...not quite sure yet what change needs to happen but something will change.

#Burn the fat, Feed the muscle
Short Range Goals:
* Maintain the "cut" to return to goal weight on Idiot Boxes by Nov 15 doctor appointment
* 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!

Sounds like you had a good trip. I guess most of the "lady clients " don't work up a sweat. Too funny.

Why is it people think women can't and won't do....those are not words my generation was ever familiar with....proud of your resolve to workout!

Nice to hear about changing it up on the food front. Nothing whacks a body out of its comfort zone like throwing a whole new menu at it.

I wish we would get over the "women don't lift weights" myth. It is so frustrating to walk into a place and get weird looks or lurkers while you are trying to do your sets. I just gave up and got my own.

I think it's more that the men in the free weights section feel you are trespassing on their turf (boys club). But if you really want to grab their attention, strap on some boxing gloves and start sparring with your trainer! (Actually, the guys love this. Probably because you're not in their free weights area while you're punching away.)

I'm glad you had a great time! And way to stick to your exercise plan while you are there!

I'm proud of you. Isn't it a shame people assume women can't use the heavier weights?
