The last time I posted was Feb. and so much has changed since then. For starters, I had to readjust my goals since the May show is not in the cards. Now I'm shooting for Aug. 29. So I have 16 weeks to lose 15 pounds. Nothing like a little pressure to get things moving.
As my trainer says, my weight is an enigma. I'm up five pounds, down three pounds. It's frustrating to say the least. I haven't been completely focused so I'm taking on some new tactics:
Tactic #1 -- Food prep
Since moving to a macro-based diet where nothing is off limits, I've been very sloppy. Now I'm preparing all of my food ahead of time.
Tactic #2 -- Simple and same foods
While the beauty of counting macros is having the freedom to eat a variety, I think for my purposes eating the same several foods will keep me in line. I went back to my old trainer's food plan and will use the foods she outlined, but in the quantities that my current trainer has provided.
Tactic #3 -- Weigh and weigh again
Food that is. I'm weighing every single thing that goes into my mouth down to the gram. There's no room to be loosey goosey. I need to ensure every carb, protein and fat is accounted for and counted.
Here is my current status in terms of weight, macros and workouts:
Weight
140.8
Macros
175g carbs
140g protein
35g fat
No high carb day
Cardio
3 HIIT (high intensity interval training)

Weights
5 days a week
Day 1 - Legs
Day 2 - Chest/delt/tri
Day 3 - Back/bi
Repeat
Abs - two exercises every day
Here's to making some progress this week. Stay tuned...
