Happy New Week, my Best Buddies:

Some days I feel like I am just fumbling along even though I have concrete goals and a plan. Idiot Boxes spiked up; but I did lift heavier yesterday and muscles retain water in the repair mode.

OR, I suspect, I am getting too many carbs in my macro percentages. I know - calories in, calories out - but for me personally, quality also matters. Back to the cut this week.

I fear my caliper session will show a fat gain based on the Idiot Boxes - not lean muscle gain - though I am stronger than I was a couple months ago. I think I will cry if that happens. Really, I will.

#Burn the fat, Feed the muscle - Tom Venuto

Short Range Goals:
* Maintain "new" macros to be closer to original goal weight on Idiot Boxes by Nov. 16 endocrinologist appointment - 160-165
* Complete trainer assessment Nov. 20 to learn new bodyfat percentage
* Drink at least 12 - 14 cups of fresh water daily - especially on gym days
* Continue HIIT mixed in with weight lifting four to five days
* Keep up the training notebook to achieve progressive overload

Long Range Goals: 2016-2017
*Bodyfat at 20% or less (Current 23.75%)
*Maintain Idiot Boxes around 152-155lbs staying under goal weight
*Increased strength, endurance and flexibility during workouts

Quality TOTALLY matters! Good luck.

HCB, keep at it but tweak it. Just my 2 cents worth. Take a look at what you are doing and see if it really fits your life and what you love. Can you keep up watching those macros numbers etc forever? I couldn't do that too complicated, I can't even figure those out. I had to find a simple solution and a way to fit healthy eating into my life that I could live with forever. Below goal for over 2 years and it's easy now. Whatever it has to fit your life.

Thanks, Buddies, for the support. My real goal is body recomposition - not a number on the Idiot Box. This is a new process for me and I am learning. It is hard to gain lean muscle without gaining some fat - and hard to lose fat without losing some lean body mass.

I have an appointment with an endocrinologist also on Monday. You are doing SO well.
