49 Weeks, 3 days out

 All green on my Versa 2, achieved my steps per hour goal and have well over 18K steps for today. Took a gym rest day today which should help my back feel better. Tomorrow's gym workout is Arms/Shoulders and 30 min walk on the Jiu-Jitsu Mats. Macros were good today. Tomorrow will be my Fasting day for the week. Will decide next week's fasting day after I see my work schedule for next week.  Went to Arkansas and back home through Branson, MO. 

49 Weeks, 4 days out

 All green on my Versa 2, achieved my steps per hour goal and have well over 18K steps for today. Macros were great today. Took progress photos as planned but forgot to measure so have my tape measure beside my computer mouse so I take them in the morning. Correction from yesterday's post today wasn't a fasting day that's Thursday. Got in a great workout today using lighter weights.  Ended up walking on the mats again as it was less stress on my back. Used my massage belt when I got home this morning but haven't put it back on the charger yet. Think I'll take my lumbar pillow with me in the car for the day trip to I still don't know where. Also not going to go on a road trip without my Yeti taking that with my Core ABCD sweet tea and Core Zone Arnold Palmer.

49 Weeks, 5 days out

 All green on my Versa 2, achieved my steps per hour goal and have well over 18K steps for today. Macros were great today for a refeed day. Tomorrow is a fasting day. Tomorrow's workout plan is Chest/Shoulders and 30 min walk either on the treadmill or Jiu-Jitsu mats. Wed will be a gym rest day since we are taking a day trip not sure where we are going yet. Tomorrow after my hair cut I'll take progress photos and measure in the morning before I go get my hair done. Got in a fabulous Legs/Glutes workout but must have used bad form or too heavy a bar on deadlifts as my lower back is hurting so shortly will use the massage belt I bought a while back. Went and bought a couple things at Wal-Mart and didn't buy anything to snack on.

 All green on my Versa 2, achieved my steps per hour goal and have well over 18K steps for today. Macros were a little low on a fasting day. Will try and do better on Friday. Day 1 of fasting was a success as I wasn't hungry until the opening of my eating window. Tomorrow is a refeed day as Coach calls it then Friday is another fasting day until 3 PM when my eating window opens until 5PM. Got my workout in before getting my flu shot since the pharmacist was getting ready to head to lunch when I got off and down to Walgreens. The Core Zone/ABCD combo was a good one so will continue that.

 All green on my Versa 2, achieved my steps per hour goal and have well over 18K steps for today. Macros were great today and after talking to Coach we've decided that I'd give Fasting a try every other day so deleted the RP Diet app and cancelled the subscription as well. Tomorrow's plan is to get a flu shot after work and will see how long I have to wait to decide if I go to the gym. Tried Core Zone today and just love it think I might take a scoop of it and scoop of Core ABCD mixed together just to see how it tastes.

Will tell coach on Sunday that I'm switching Macros tracking apps. My new cut off time is 4PM if I get off anytime before 4PM then I'll go get a gym workout in but if I work until 4PM or later then it will be either an at home workout or take a rest day.
