45 Weeks out

 All green on my Versa 2, achieved my steps per hour goal and have over 18K steps for today. Macros were great again today. Training plan for next week is 3 gym sessions and tracking truck unload on Wed. Thursday will be fasting day this week since truck isn't until later in the day on Wed. Progress photos are ready to send to Coach on Tuesday late afternoon. Tuesday's training will be Legs/Glutes, Thursday's will be Back/Glutes and Friday's session will be Legs/Glutes. Need to log Tuesday's into the My Workout+ app then copy and paste the other two days.

45 Weeks, 1 day 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. Got in a great Legs/Glutes and 30 min walk on the mats this afternoon. Won't know my work schedule for next week until sometime tomorrow to plan my training sessions and get them entered into the My Workout+ app. Progress photos taken this afternoon before I started my training session. Hope for at least 3-4 gym training sessions and 1 at home training session. 

45 Weeks, 2 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 it being my Fasting day. Great Chest/Shoulders and 30 min walk on the mats this afternoon. Coach was happy with my numbers this week and even gave me 10 more grams of protein and 5 more grams of carbs while keeping fats the same. Tomorrow's training session is Legs/Glutes and 30 min walk on the mats. For anyone who may be a new subscriber to my blog I follow 6 days of refeeds and 1 day of fasting from my final meal the night before until 3PM on my fasting day. I prefer to instead of say workout call them training sessions.

45 Weeks, 3 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 but needed more carbs. Great training session in the gym this morning. Tomorrow's training session is Chest/Shoulders and 30 min of cardio. Measurements taken this morning and progress photos will be taken tomorrow afternoon. Forgot which day I chose for my fasting day so checked the tracking app I use and tomorrow is fasting day with first thing I have is my post workout shake. I will however drink a Merica Victory energy drink after truck unload.

45 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 again today. Today's training had to be modified for at home since road conditions weren't the best. Hope tomorrow I can get into the gym for Back/Glutes training session. Completed and sent my weekly check in to Coach about an hour or so ago. Had the Merica energy drink and it's good didn't realize the flavor was Cream Soda. Plan on taking measurements and progress photos tomorrow.

45 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. Got my Core Nutritional package this afternoon and am eager to try the Merica energy drink. Tried the beef sticks after dinner and I like those.  Great at home Legs/Glutes training session after dinner. Tomorrow's training session is supposed to be Shoulders /Arms at the gym but road conditions will decide if I modify that for home. Right now we have rain and wet roads but Temps are getting colder to possibly have slick roads in the morning. Out of habit have my weekly check in email ready to post the sheet link then hit send.

Shortly out of habit will get my check in email ready to add the Google sheets link and hit send on Tuesday late afternoon/early evening.

46 Weeks, 1 day out

 All green on my Versa 2, achieved my steps per hour goal and have well over 18K steps for today. Macros were on point today. Tomorrow is my fasting day for this training week. Won't know my work schedule for next week until sometime tomorrow to plan out my training sessions for the week in My Workout+ app. I've been in the 140's since Sunday so if I can keep that up and maybe even get closer to the 130's before I take measurements and progress photos then I'll order a Hydro Flask water bottle from Amazon as a reward. Got in a great training session of Legs/Glutes this morning. Hoping for 3-4 gym days next week and at least 1 at home workout from those that Coach Adam and Coach Zack wrote for the team when all gyms were closed.

46 Weeks, 2 days out

 All green on my Versa 2, achieved my steps per hour goal and have well over 18K steps today. Macros were better today but still need a bit more carbs. Great training session this morning. Tomorrow's training session is Legs/Glutes and 30 min walk on the mats since it's supposed to be cold in the morning. Love the new workout app I've been using the last couple of days. Will wait until I see my work schedule for next week to plan my training sessions and get them entered into the app. Saturday will be my fasting day for this week since I don't go to the gym on weekends. Right now plan on either Wed or Thurs next week as a fasting day.  

46 Weeks, 3 days out

  All green on my Versa 2, achieved my steps per hour goal and have well over 18K steps for today. Macros were good today but need to figure out how to get more carbs while keeping fats at or below 40 grams. Coach replied pretty fast this week and he wants carbs a little higher. He's happy that my weight was consistently below 150. Got in a great Back/Glutes workout in this morning. Tomorrow's training is Chest/Shoulders. Training is already entered into My Workout+ app. Didn't add Coach as an editor of my Google sheet so think that caused the issue. After seeing my work schedule for next week on Saturday at the latest I'll get my exercises for my training sessions into the app. Think I like it but will see after Friday's training session.

46 Weeks, 4 days out

 All green on my Versa 2, almost achieved my steps per hour goal just missed one hour this morning sitting at an appointment. Macros were great again today. Missed my training today as my eyes were dilated and didn't want to try a workout with blurry vision. Eyes are back to normal now. Sent my weekly check in email to Coach and not sure why but the Google sheets link wasn't in English. Tomorrow's training plan is Back/Glutes and more than likely walking on the mats for cardio. I used the Gmail folder from yahoo so think next week I'll use Gmail itself and see if the link is in English or not.

 All green on my Versa 2, achieved my steps per hour goal and have well over 18K steps for today. Macros were good today just over slightly on fats. Loving Google sheets as I can update my weekly summary and other sheets that I've recently opened from my phone. Got in a great Chest/Shoulders/Tris and 30 min walk on the mats as it was cold this morning so didn't want to put my jacket and warm pants on over my workout pants to go outside to walk. Temps have to be over 55 to 60 degrees before I'll walk outside. Monday's training will be an at home Legs/Glutes and 30 min walk while watching TV once we get home from a day trip, Tuesday's training plan is an upper body at home workout after getting home from an eye appointment, Wednesday's training will be Back/Glutes and either 30 min walk outside or on the mats depending on the temperature.

 All green on my Versa 2, achieved my steps per hour goal and have well over 18K steps for today. Macros were great today. Coach was happy with my numbers but wants me to be more consistent he also gave me 10 more grams of carbs. Wrist is feeling better today as it was one week ago that I fell coming back into the gym  it was cooler today so walked on the mats instead of outside. Tomorrow's training will be Chest/Shoulders/Triceps and 30 min walk outside if not too cold bit if its cold then walk on the mats.  Two of the other Coaches on the team are currently using a Google sheet with their clients so now we are too. I like the idea of being able to update my sheet mobile as well as on my computer.

 All green on my Versa 2, achieved my steps per hour goal and have well over 18K steps for today. Macros were good today for being my fasting day this week. Got in a great Legs/Glutes and 30 min walk on the street out back of the gym. Sent my weekly check in to Coach last night but he might be delayed getting back to me which is fine since he's at a show with some of my teammates who are fitness competitors. Wrist bruise hurt a little this morning as I didn't wear the support brace while unloading truck. Tomorrow's training is Back/Glutes and 30 min walk on the street out back of the gym. Friday's training will be Chest/Shoulders/Tris since I trained Legs/Glutes on Monday with an at home workout. Versa battery is at 26% so will charge it in an hour so.

Out of habit I have my weekly check in email started and its in my drafts to be edited on Tuesday before sending. Wrist is better still bruised but doesn't hurt.  Think I'll put the wrist support in my lunch box just in case I need it tomorrow at work. Plan on getting in 5 sets of 10 each leg standing leg kickbacks and 5 sets of 10 squats tomorrow afternoon. Tuesday evening will get in some at home arm work 5 sets to failure of whatever I decide to do. Will probably look at the quarantine workouts that were posted by Coach Adam and Coach Zach when we were all on lockdown from the gym. 

48 Weeks out

 All green on my Versa 2, achieved my steps per hour goal and have well over 18K steps for today. Macros were good today. Instead of sending my weekly check in to Coach tomorrow I'll send it on Tuesday evening. Schedule was published yesterday after I wrote so plan is training in the gym possibly 2-3 days. Just finished watching online church from a previous pastor who was at my local church a few years ago. He livestreams mass every day and every Saturday so attended last week and planned after I saw the schedule for this current week that I was off at 2PM decided to attend again. Next weekend unsure since I'm off at 5PM next Saturday and most likely working on Sunday. Forgot the wrist support today and it hurt a little.  

48 Weeks, 1 day out

  All green on my Versa 2, achieved my steps per hour goal and have well over 18K steps for today. Macros were good today but could get more protein and a bit more carbs. Trained Legs/Glutes and took a 30 min walk out back of the gym this morning. Today coming in was less eventful as I took my sunglasses off before stepping back inside of the gym and also held onto the door frame to step down to the gym floor. I do have a bruise on my wrist bone so will wear a wrist support for a couple of days to work. Coach does want to change my check in day from Sun to Tuesday not sure if we are starting that this coming week or this week effective Tuesday 10/6 or Tuesday 10/13. With that being the case my fasting and gym rest day during the week will be on Wed as I'll track truck unload as a workout instead of a gym workout. Won't know until sometime tomorrow my work schedule for next week to plan my gym training sessions. Hoping for 3 gym workouts but will see once the schedule is publis

Trained Back/Glutes and went outside for a 30 min walk on the street behind the gym. Coming back inside I had my sunglasses on and forgot the step down coming inside and fell hard so far just have bruising on my right leg and could have a some bruising on my right wrist will see in the morning. Tomorrow plan on training Legs/Glutes and either another 30 min walk outside or walk on mats will see how cool it is then will decide.  Filmed deadlifts today and posted it to the Team SYLL Facebook group and on my Instagram story. Also had my teammate and gym owner watch the 2 videos and thought form on today's was better than Tuesday's video.

Back feeling a little better and found out Aleve has a formula for Back and Muscle Pain so bought some of that and will take shortly. Tomorrow's training plan is Legs/Glutes and hopefully one of the new trainers is at the gym to have him or her check my deadlift form. Will also video it so Coach can see it on Instagram to comment. Found my lifting belt and will try it tomorrow. Also know I need to stretch more pre-workout and post workout.

Think I'll either video my form again on deadlifts or on Tuesday see if one of the new trainers at the gym is there to see if he will check my form. Again today need one more refill of my Yeti to have my 104 oz in for the day.

Got in a good Back/Glutes workout in this morning with lighter weights than normal.  Work schedule for next week was published earlier than I thought so I can get into the gym 4 days could be 5 but going to take Monday off to let my back heal a bit more. Finally tomorrow will be my fasting day for this week. Next week my early days are Monday 8AM, Wed and Thurs 6AM so will have to decide which day to choose. Tried Core Nutritional ISO Red Velvet Cake protein and it's so good might fast on Monday so I don't miss my post workout protein.

Will try again for a fasting day on Saturday. Versa battery is at 56% so will charge it in about an hour or so. Great workout for today but decided to skip HIIT for the rest of the week to let my back rest. Tomorrow's workout is either Back/Glutes or Legs/Glutes haven't decided yet but Cardio will be the same walk on the mats for 30 min. Plan is still to wait until I see my work schedule for next week sometime Saturday to decide on my fasting day it will be a day I go in at 8AM or earlier.
