Happy Mid-Week, my Fabulous Followers!
I just joined a Weight Loss Challenge at my gym. It will last six weeks with weekly weighing. I hate the idea, but I need something to better motivate myself to adhere to my nutrition plan. Of course, there are teams and cash prizes! It costs $25 to be part of the challenge which is supposed to also motivate people - phffttt!
Today, I rowed 200 meters in less than one minute - which could mean 2000 meters around 10 minutes, right? It is tough to maintain the intensity and speed for 10 minutes though - and I have short legs which is NOT an advantage on a rower!
Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - Tom Venuto
Short Range Goals:
* Macros 60%-70% fat, 20-30% protein, 10% carbs - better under 10%! Or, more non-starch veggies are acceptable although it increases the carb percentage to above 10% - I love summer veggies and a little fruit
* Back in the "Blue" on Idiot Boxes while retaining muscle by year end 2017
* Bodyfat % reading with trainer for early September
* 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
*Bodyfat at 24% or less (Current 29.5%) by year end 2017
*Maintain Idiot Boxes around 156-158lbs staying under goal weight June 2018
*Increased strength, endurance and flexibility during workouts
