Happy New Week, my Fabulous Followers!

I am really happy I stayed with it this past weekend. The Idiot Box has been moving the last few weeks - especially since I changed up my macros.

I have been doing moderate fat (70 grams or less), higher protein (over 100 grams or more) and lower carbs (50 grams or less)...instead of full on keto. I like having veggies, occasional fruit and almond crackers once in the while - as long as I can keep my carbs low, it seems to be working. More will be revealed!

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 late 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: 2018/2019
*Bodyfat at 26% or less (Current 29.8%) by end 2018/early 2019
*Longer range body fat goal is 22% - which at my age is great!
*Maintain 160lbs staying under goal weight by end 2018/early 2019
*Increased strength, endurance and flexibility during workouts
