Happy Weekend, my Fabulous Followers!

I hope everyone has a great weekend planned. I did five days at Orange Theory Fitness this week - four of them in a row which is not my usual. Typically, I do three in a row during the week.

My carbs are around 15% right now as I am allowing a few more veggies and a little fruit - it seems as long as I keep my calories down, protein moderate and healthy fats up, I am doing OK with very slow losses.

I feel desperate to drop the weight I gained when I had my foot surgery...it depresses me sometimes because I was at goal and even a little under it last year.

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - Tom Venuto

Short Range Goals:
* Macros 60%-70% fat, 20-30% protein, 10% carbs - better under 10%!
* Back in the "Blue" on Idiot Boxes while retaining muscle by year end 2017
* Bodyfat % reading with trainer on September 8th
* 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: 2017-2018
*Bodyfat at 24% or less (Current 29.5%) by year end 2017
*Long range body fat goal is 20% - which at my age is great!
*Maintain Idiot Boxes around 156-158lbs staying under goal weight by 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!
