    Happy Hump Day guys!

    Cardio: Only if you count 5 minutes on the stair master....LOL

    Strength: A 15 minute warmu-up, followed by 60 minutes with my training working core and accessories and then another 20 minutes finishing up some of the things he showed on my own.

    Assessment: So I've lost about 4 lbs since last week since my trainer mixed up my calories and macros. I've upped calories slightly again because we decided it was a bit too low. I actually lost 8 lbs but only 4 of them stuck. Guess the rest was water weight and I imagine some of the 4 is as well. Anyway, I'm enjoying what we're doing and looking forward to getting back into my groove after a less than stellar year last year.

    Everything counts! Don't fret on a day. Just check to see if weight is going up steadily. If not, add in 200 calories.

    Happy Friday guys! Yesterday was just a rest day for me and I think I must have needed it! Have pretty bad quad DOMS from Wed so my trainer and I worked arms and shoulders today followed by a little core workout.

    Cardio: Tomorrow

    Strength: 20 min warmup followed by resistance band shoulder press, front raises, bicep curl, rear delt flys, tricep push downs and hammer curls all with trainer. He corrected a little mistake I was making in my curls, hammers etc. I was shifting my elbow a little forward on the lift which makes it not as effective and it totally felt different when I was doing it right. After my session with him I did some crunches and side planks just to get a little core in.

    Assessment: Doing well but we're upping my calories again by about 100. I'm losing a little too quickly. Held steady at a 4 lb loss for a couple of days then lost another lb so for 8 days that's definitely a little too fast. I only have about another 5 or so lbs to lose anyway.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy weekend! 2 clients this morning. Still overcast here, but hopefully I can find a dry spot in the day to walk outside. Cleaning up and just getting ready for the big game tomorrow. Forgot to say last week that I got a new laptop: HP Spectre 360. Pretty nice, but not cheap (at least for me anyway). Should last me another 10 years.

    Cardio: walking- 30 min (150 calories)

    Strength: core- crunches, leg lifts

    Assessment: Beef chow fun last night.

    Happy Saturday Guys! So nice getting new computers Niner, I'm jealous!

    Got a nice walk in with the dog. I didn't try to run today as my knee was feeling a bit sore and I have leg day tomorrow so I need to be as pain free as possible for that.

    Cardio: 55 min walk and a little over 300 calories

    Strength: Tomorrow

    Assessment: I've stuck really well to the new nutrition plan and now tomorrow we're doing a brunch at a really great restaurant with friends before the game so all bets are off! Sitting at 5 lbs lost in the last 10 days so that's a bit much anyway. I'm not going to pig out tomorrow but I'm going to enjoy it and also have some champagne!

    Happy Monday! 3 clients this morning and then 4 tonight! Wow what a Superbowl yesterday! I did go over by like 700 calories, but did jump around a lot during the game.

    Cardio: bike riding- 30 (200 calories)

    Strength: shoulders- front shoulder press, rear cable laterals, side cable laterals, shrugs. 4x12,10,8,6

    Strength: Chest, Triceps and Calves to be done tonight

    Cardio: did Stronger HIIT, Fire and also their mobility/ steady state cardio, Refuel yesterday, Yoga also done nightly

    Assessment: Have learned the trick to increase carbs, calorie dense foods that I usually avoid are best during this time, to add calories and carbs and still easy to remove from my diet, once back to cutting. :)

    Good Morning my Friends, HHD!!!

    Strength/ Cardio: Tapout XT2: Cross Core Combat 2. well,
    this is a cardio routine, but for the whole 65 minutes, you're either holding and doing stuff with an 8 lbs. ball, or the bands. my arms are toasted! and my shoulder and legs and ... enough complaining me!!!! LOL

    Assessment: Sometimes eating at the new calorie limit is so hard to do, sometimes, the limit is bypassed, without even paying attention, also seems the more you eat, the hungrier you feel, weird!

    Today was just a dog walk day before another storm hits us tomorrow. It was a beautiful sunny day so perfect for an afternoon walk. Put in about 3 miles at 3.5 mph pace. Still not running as knee is still stiff from last week and I'm not taking any chances.

    Tomorrow I'm back at the gym for core work and accessories.

    Also, tomorrow is Friday, just in case you were wondering!

    Happy Monday!!!! :)

    Strength: Last week of shortcut to Size: Chest, Triceps, Calves

    Cardio: snow shoveling, this morning

    Assessment: This program is coming to an end, I feel I have gotten a lot stronger because of it, I have lifted weight I have never dreamt of lifting before, moving on to Power pyramid, again by Jim Stoppani, next week, this time, the intention is to pop the muscles instead of focusing on strength only
    getting fluffier because of the bulk, not very sure it's the actual gain, or the water gain coming along when having too much carbs, but my mid section is starting to show the fluff! yuck!
