Happy March, my Fabulous Followers!

I just looked back over a few months of my journals. I have been struggling for over one year to lose the weight I gained back when I initially had foot surgery in December 2016 that had me in a foot boot for 12 weeks.

WOW, I did not realize it has been so long - no wonder I became frustrated and less diligent.

Now, I am doing much better with my nutrition and that is 90% of how and why I will lose weight. Exercise is great but will not create weight loss in the end if I do not eat cleanly. The most important thing for me is to NEVER GIVE UP!

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - Tom Venuto

Short Range Goals:

* Movement down on the Idiot Boxes while retaining muscle by year end 2018
* Bodyfat % reading with trainer in early to mid MAY, 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
*Bodyfat at 26% or less (Current 29.8%) by end of 2018
*Longer range body fat goal is 22% - which at my age is great!
*Maintain Idiot Box at 160lbs staying under goal weight by end of 2018
*Increased strength, endurance and flexibility during workouts
