HCB's Journal, 30 April 2018

Happy New Week, my Frolicking Followers!

Ended April at 184-185 depending on the Idiot Box, water, hormones, etc. Overall, April was pretty good since my original monthly goal was 186. And, I got five workouts at Orange Theory last week.

My goal for end of May is to maintain or just lose 2-3 pounds because I have a 7 day business trip starting this Thursday to San Francisco. I bring protein powder, almonds and protein bars to help stay with it. I exercise, too. It always is hard to constantly be aware especially at dinners. I can do it because I know what to choose...just have to choose well.

May has my 63rd birthday and a friend's wedding that will be two days of celebration! So, my goal is maintenance or a small loss by the end of the month. I should be able to pick up my new bicycle so maybe I will burn a few extra calories, too!


Note to self: May 45-50/35-40/10-15

* Continue HIIT mixed in with weight lifting four to five days a week

*Bodyfat at 26% or less (Current 29.8%) by end 2018/early 2019
*Longer range body fat goal is 22% - which at my age is great!
*Maintain 160lbs staying under goal weight by end 2018/early 2019

Is that fat/protein/carbs or protein/fat/carbs? Is there an “understood” or “accepted” way to record these ratios. Just trying to understand better. You rock.

@Sarah1950: May 45-50/35-40/10-15 is macro ranges for fat/protein/carbs with a calorie range under 1200 most days. My carbs sometimes approach 20%...but I am more looking at grams as well. Fat under 70 grams, protein closer to or over 100 grams, and total carbs under 50 grams. Carbs percentage looks higher if I have more fiber involved, so net carbs count.

Thank you, I do try to keep my net carbs <20g . it’s hard to keep carbs under the 10% when calories are less than 1000 per day. I did add a strip of bacon at breakfast. Thanks for the explanation.

Hi HCB I like your reasonable expectations when you are away. That is a smart way to approach things because of "LIFE". You gave me something to think about, thanks. Happy Birthday early!
