TweetHey there guys! I'm new here but figured I'd introduce myself by starting a log. I started this journey about 7 years ago. I'll give you the short version though. Growing up, I battled with my weight constantly. I did not play sports and I really enjoyed eating! Lol In 2006, I weighed over 200lbs at 5'5". I realized how fat I was and wanted to loose weight. So, I did the typical female thing- dropped calories down to 900 a day and ate all crap. Lost down to 140 and got pregnant with my second child. After having my second child, I joined a gym determined not to get fat again! Little did I know I'd become addicted! Haha...Waisted over a year basically still eating crap and playing in the gym before I started educating myself on proper training and nutrition. Slowly, I am learning and making more changes... As of now I have lost 70+lbs and 20-25% body fat.
I am currently working with someone laying out my nutrition and training.
I lift 4 days a week using a push/pull set up with cardio at lunch most days usually in the form of HIIT/Tabata.
Macros vary depending if it's before a training day or not. Most carbs are done in a backloading fashion at the later part of the day other than a small portion post workout.
Roughly:
200p, 175c, 60f/200p, 40c, 60f
Water- 1 gallon or more a day
Yesterday was a cardio only day! Did 30 mins of Tabata sprints on the treadmill. 20/10 @8-8.5. Then 3 sets of pull ups wide/neutral 8-10 reps each.
Today was push day #2 for the week. Totally zoned out several times. Lol (in a good way) I switched my music up from mostly Skillet to a mixture of Hard Rock. Love it! I skip some of the songs due to the language but otherwise it's perfect for the intensity I keep during training!

TweetGood morning! It's Friday, which means it's the beginning of my weekend! Yay!!! I have my yearly scan on my thyroid today at 12 to make sure the nodules haven't grown too much. Basically watching for signs of thyroid cancer. With Hashimoto's the gland itself gets inflamed along with nodules as well many times. They did a biopsy about 2 years ago and it came back negative so I'm sure all is well.
Workout this morning was quite intense but that's pretty true every day! Lol I try to give all I've got! Not sure if it's acid reflux or what but I thought I was gonna barf a few times while wearing my belt! Haha you'll notice in my video that I stopped a second - that's why- it almost came out! Lol
