January '18 Weigh-In

  • Welcome to 2018!!

    Goal- I'm not sure. I literally have doubled the amount of weight I have been able to lift, from 20 lb free weight to 40 lb free weights. I have totally changed how I train. I have also gained ten pounds from this time last year, which I'm not thrilled about. I work out daily, weights and cardio, watch everything I eat, so I don't even know where to go from here. I did stop as much steady state cardio so will be adding that back and have for the second part of December. I had listened to the advice that steady state cardio is a waste and just weight train, but that hasn't been working out. Some of this is muscle, but it can't all be. I would like to be under 120 lbs again, but I don't know if that's possible if I continue to lift as heavy has I have been. We'll see!

    Jan 1- 128.4 lbs (LS)

    Jan 3- 128.8 lbs
    Jan 4- 128.3 lbs snow day!

    so I cant weigh-in but I will stay around for company.

    They are egg whites and protein powder. I'll catch you when you are done. Yes, just saw the rule on their website.

    I would like to join you on the 119 goal but I don't know if it can happen with the way I have been training.

    I'll take it. Gaining a pound a month has really been bothering me. I can't mentally handle bulking for bodybuilding. Hoping to cut a pound a month and then maintain.

    End result- 2.2 lbs down from my scale in NY, goal for next month, see 125.something consistently (ended on Wednesday)
