Greeting my Fiery Fat Secret Followers!

I am still doing well following my own calories and macros instead of what the trainer wanted me to do last month.

The Idiot Box moved down 4 pounds, and I am visibly looking smaller as I build muscle - though I still have a long way to go to get my pre-covid weight back.

I went to my gym 5 days in a row this week which is a big deal because when I first went there the workouts seemed so hard. It was much different than Orange Theory Fitness because I was using a whole different group of muscles than I was used to using.

Now I am doing lots of body weight exercises, and barbell weight lifting with more planks and push-ups. It is the variety of classes available, too: HIIT, Build and Burn, Total Body Weight Lifting, Barre, TRX class, Cross Training, etc.

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

Greetings my FS peeps!

I hope all of you are well and courageous in your individual battles!

Although the Idiot Box is slow moving, my trainer measured me again and I have lost inches in the waist, hips, and upper arms!

DINNER: Blackened fresh flounder fish tacos with low carb spinach tortillas, tomatoes, peppers and red onion with some Bolthouse avocado dressing!

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.

Happy October Friends!

I am feeling well today. My thyroid medication is corrected, and I just got home from a weight training session at my gym. I am doing pretty well on my own, and then some days I do the classes.

So, I just had a "Mean Green" smoothie with two scoops of protein that I got at the local EarthCafe...not sure how to log it though. Kale, banana, pineapple, mango, apple juice and a little honey.

Greetings my FS peeps!

After a longer period of working/teaching, I am heading in to a period of more time for me and less work!

Food is basically going well, I am hitting the gym 3-4 days, walking the beach on the off days, planning a kayak trip in October, and looking to get the bicycle going too.

LOVE LOVE LOVE being in a climate where it stays warm longer!
