Happy Almost Weekend my Fine Followers!

My friend's wedding ceremony is tomorrow outdoors at a winery...then the reception is on Saturday at a Mediterranean restaurant - the couple's favorite place. The vintner made a special red blend for them - "Wedding Wine."

Helps to be friends with a vintner!

I am trying to stay with my basic plan while allowing some treats the next two days - then I have the whole rest of May to recoup and hopefully maintain or drop a pound or two for the month.

Note to self: May 45-50/35-40/10-15

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/JUNE, 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
