    This week I have been doing Fitness Blenders 5 Day Challenge for Busy People. Not used to the short workouts anymore. This challenge is not really making me sore like last week but I still like it.

    Thats really it here. I have been maintaining. It is good to know I can but still want to lose more so I need to refocus.

    This morning was 45 m of cardio only. It was supposed to be an hour but time constraints did not allow. I did go for a nice walk at lunch soooo....

    Ok, everyone. This morning I did My final Leg day! Day 78.

    Only 5 days + 1 day of rest to go.
    Does it count if the final day of the program is rest??

    Going to schedule an appointment with the trainer in the work gym for measurements and calipers for next week.

    I promise I will share pics. I tried to do a D1, D30, D60 SxS but the stupid thing kept putting my photos sideways.

    Restarted Chalean this morning :)

    I was pretty happy with how much more weight I'm able to lift already on this round!

    Welcome back @Jessikin13! I hope other former/current CLX members will follow, even if you're not currently doing CLX but would like support please feel free to join us! JMBR and CLX are still my fav (and ‘go to’) programs!
    I need to work on my overhead press, so I am currently using some of CLX exercises.

    I've been kind of lurking on this thread for a while. I just recently started to actually comment on stuff and do more than just the logging. But this seems like a good way to make me a little more accountable and stay the course :smiley:

    Day 82: Shoulders and Calves. I read a tip about doing standing calf raises in the squat rack - since I have my own smith machine I can do what I want. Then I stood on some plates to help with raising. It worked really well!

    Tomorrow is 1 hour of cardio and then the final day (thurs) is "rest."

    Basically tomorrow is my finallllll dayyy!

    Congrats on your last day coming up!

    I have just been doing Fitness Blender workouts, a little Turbo Fire and running. Happy to say that so far this week I have been doing well staying in my calorie range. I want to finish this week strong!

    No problem, I'm getting measurements today so i'll update after.

    The following is purely from my Aria/Fitbit Scale. The measurements from calipers do not line up with this fat percentage, it's a few points less.

    SW: Jan 28 - 123.3 lbs 26.4% fat
    P2: Feb 24- 124.3 lbs 24.3% fat
    P3: Mar 25- 126.1 lbs 25.6% fat
    EW: Apr 23- 125.9 lbs 26.5% fat

    Trying to get a general idea...

    What is your current health & fitness goal?
    What fitness program are you following, or did you create your on, to meet your goal?
    What does your week look like, strength training/cardio to meet your goal?
    What do you have your calories and macro set on to meet your goal?

    Current health and fitness goal is really to be fit and happy. I've always wanted to have "cantaloupe shoulders" as I call them.

    I follow programs because i'm not clever enough to come up with my own.

    I do whatever number of strength and cardio days are listed in the plan. Usually it's been a 3/2 or 3/3, but with the most recent plan it varied by the month. Upcoming will be 3/4.

    My calories changed when I decided to switch to gain but i switched it back to "lose" because i didn't like the way MFP was tracking it. Generally i'm 1200 + eat back. When i switched it was almost 1700 calories.
