Happy New Week, My Freaky Followers!

We are digging out closets, drawers, and storage areas as we prepare our house for sale. We have carpet and paint happening in late May so we have deadlines for certain activities. I hope to market in June, sell and move in August - we are leaving the frozen tundra of Minnesota and going to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area! Any South Carolina peeps out there?

Today I started my increased thyroid medications - both my T3 and T4 drugs. This, of course, impacts metabolism so I am hoping this helps Idiot Box movement.

I am still on the weekly mega dose of vitamin D3 for 9 more weeks so it will take time to know which change will best help my process.

My work and teaching schedule is interfering with the gym a little - so I was able to only go three times this week, and will only get three times this coming week. I prefer four visits! I think I will try to add a weight lifting day at home - I have a pretty good combination of dumbbells - NO EXCUSES!


GOAL MACROS: Carbs 40% Proteins 35% Fats 25%

Note to Self: FUNCTIONAL FITNESS is more important than the Idiot Box number!

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - Tom Venuto

Shorter Range Goals:
* Down on the Idiot Box while rebuilding muscle
* Bodyfat% reading with trainer once weight is down
* Drink at least 10 cups of fresh water/fluids daily
* Continue HIIT mixed in with weight lifting three to five days a week
* Keep up the training notebook to achieve progressive overload

Longer Range Goals:
*Bodyfat at 28% or less
*Longer range body fat goal is 26% - which at my age is great!
*Maintain 160lbs or less staying under goal weight in 2021-2022
*Increased strength, endurance and flexibility during workout
