Happy Sunday, My FS Warriors!

Finally some movement on the Idiot Box - down 3.2 lbs since last week. I am pretty sure it is due to my thyroid medication changes made about three weeks ago. So relieved to see change.

I KNEW my plan made sense by the numbers and glad I was right. Four days each week at Orange Theory Fitness, calories under 1200 per day, as much water as I can get down, and meeting the protein goal.


GOAL MACROS: Carbs 40% (Net carbs under 100 grams)
Proteins 35% (over 100 grams)
Fats 25% (under 50 grams)
Calories under 1200

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

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

Happy Friday!

Today was a day off the gym - I was tired from working 15 days in a row! I needed to sleep in a little today.

The Idiot Box has been moving down! Woo-Hoo! I think it is the thyroid medication change and possibly the vitamin D3 megadose - but down 2.6lbs. in the last week or so.

Sticking around my macros and getting to the gym four days a week!

GOAL MACROS: Carbs 40% (Net carbs under 100 grams)
Proteins 35% (over 100 grams)
Fats 25% (under 50 grams)

Happy Weekend my FS Peeps!

Well, I am pushing into another weekend in which we will be trying to sort, pack and donate. Moving is so much work, and we are preparing our house for sale so there are many additional projects.

I am feeling better physically - but depressed and overwhelmed at times about how slow things are changing in our world between Covid restrictions and the unrest and protests in my area of Minneapolis. Just discouraged.

GOAL MACROS: Carbs 40% (Net carbs under 100 grams)
Proteins 35% (over 100 grams)

Happy Weekend, My Fancy FS Followers!

I hope all are doing well and focusing on your own special goals.

I am working/teaching on ZOOM all weekend but my energy seems better.

My macros are right on today; and I am focused on maintaining my quality food and water, with my exercise routine at least four days per week.

Things now seem to be better balanced with my thyroid medication changes - much less afternoon fatigue! It is likely the mega-dose of vitamin D3 may be also kicking in now.

BE WELL - HAVE A PLAN - EXECUTE THE PLAN

Happy Day, my FANTASTIC followers!

Q: What is a Zombie's favorite exercise?
A: The UNdead lift

This is the start of a busy week assistant teaching while still trying to Zoom session with a few of my patients.

It will interfere with gym attendance but I can do dumbbell work on my lunch break - which is probably better for me right now as I rebuild my strength.

I deadlift two 35lb. dumbbells this morning x8 x3 - almost back! (I am used to doing two 50lbs...but just not there yet...)

The other great things was I did a full rowing machine block - so cardio is improving and my knee is less sore when rowing!
