HCB's Journal, 11 Oct 21

Happy Day, my favorite followers!

I just came from a great HIIT workout using timed dropsets starting with 10, 9, 8, down to 1 in groups of four lower body moves, then four arm moves, then four abdominal moves. The abs are so hard...I can't do everything but I modify.

Well, during September I followed the new trainer's plan with increased calories and carbs...she wanted macros 40-50% carbs, 30-40% protein and 20% fat with calories close to 1500. The Idiot Box did nothing.

NOW, for October I am back to MY plan which typically results in loss: macros 30% or less of carbs (under 100 grams), 40% or more of protein (over 100 grams), and over 30% or more of healthy fats (under 60 grams) with calories around 1200.

Because my metabolism is broken, my plan is the way I can stay in a calorie deficit! The Idiot Box moved down...go figure, I know my own body better than the trainer.

Calorie Deficit, Protein and Weight training....top three items!

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 8-10 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 - which at my age is great!
*Maintain 160lbs or less staying under goal weight in 2021-2022
*Increased strength, endurance and flexibility during workouts

HCB it never amazes me how little the proffessionals know about weight loss. I had this one nurse one time telling me stuff on dieting, I was just rolling my eyes. You are correct, typically even with little exercise most females will loose weight on 1300-1100 calories a day.

Very informative and I completely agree about knowing what's best for yourself. For example, the freshly baked apple pie my husband just made, will not aid me in my weight-loss/get healthy plan. 😫😁👍
