Happy Mid-Week, my Fabulous Followers!

I just joined a Weight Loss Challenge at my gym. It will last six weeks with weekly weighing. I hate the idea, but I need something to better motivate myself to adhere to my nutrition plan. Of course, there are teams and cash prizes! It costs $25 to be part of the challenge which is supposed to also motivate people - phffttt!

Today, I rowed 200 meters in less than one minute - which could mean 2000 meters around 10 minutes, right? It is tough to maintain the intensity and speed for 10 minutes though - and I have short legs which is NOT an advantage on a rower!

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - Tom Venuto

Short Range Goals:
* Macros 60%-70% fat, 20-30% protein, 10% carbs - better under 10%! Or, more non-starch veggies are acceptable although it increases the carb percentage to above 10% - I love summer veggies and a little fruit
* Back in the "Blue" on Idiot Boxes while retaining muscle by year end 2017
* Bodyfat % reading with trainer for early September
* 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 24% or less (Current 29.5%) by year end 2017
*Maintain Idiot Boxes around 156-158lbs staying under goal weight June 2018
*Increased strength, endurance and flexibility during workouts

Words of the Week:"Anything is possible, but you have to believe and you have to fight."
I am dedicated, determined and diligent!

I'm with you...don't like some types of challenges....but sometimes, they are all we need to get ourselves really focused. You will do well. You are a competitor...even if only against yourself

Yes, Gwen - you are so right about me. I complete with my "old" self every day just to get better. I have been disappointed in my nutrition adherence for a while so I am hoping this will give me the added discipline!
