Happy Tuesday, my Fabulous Followers:

Last Saturday's Experiment was a fail. Today's weigh-in at the gym was UP one pound. It amazes me how well I KNOW my OWN body. If I increase the calories with carbs (ostensibly for energy), I will hold water and gain on the Idiot Box.

I understand the numbers, and the impact of long term diets on the metabolic system... but,I will hold water and gain on the Idiot Box.

I will lose slowly following my own plan - but I will lose. Under 1300 calories a day, about one gallon of water a day, and carbs 15% and under.

Paleo/Keto is what works. Never question yourself. You KNOW your OWN body.

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

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