WOO-HOO, my Fantastic FS Peeps!

The Whirlwind has finally slowed down! We went through the preparation. selling and closing of our Minneapolis home; then the move and the preparation, buying, and closing on our Myrtle Beach, SC home!

I stayed on the workout track - only missed about one week during the driving down from MN to SC. I tried the Orange Theory Fitness here and just did not like the coaches or the vibe...so I joined a NEW gym!

The NEW gym is fabulous! I have a personal trainer coaching me with barbell work - which I have wanted to do. The club also has incredibly challenging classes with many cool options: Yoga, Barre, Lifting class, HIIT, Pilates, Spin, TRX class (50 minutes - a killer), kickboxing, step class, and other Boot camp type classes, too. Lots of planks and push-ups mixed in with jump rope, weights and other stuff that ALL KICK MY BUTT!

Trainer thinks I should eat more calories, so I am logging again and trying for about 1400 a day - pushing the macros back to what was best working earlier. 40% protein, 30-35% carbs and the rest healthy fats.

Let's GO - burn that fat!

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
