Greetings my Fabulous Followers!

I cannot believe I have not posted in a whole week! I am having a very hard time this Fall with the seasonal change. I will be teaching a little more and traveling Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec. I am eating my stress!

I hate when this happens to me - it is rare for me - but it happens when I am overwhelmed. Some of my written goals are not going to happen - I will have to modify expectations. That is also rare for me. I want to find new motivation from somewhere...

The extra things I am doing are wonderful opportunities and very rewarding; so those will not change - i want to better manage my emotional eating.

THANK GOODNESS, I get to the gym four to five times a week!

Short Range Goals:
* Macros 60%-70% fat, 20-30% protein, 10% carbs - better under 10%!

* Bodyfat % reading with trainer in early November
* 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!
