Accio Abs!

Good evening everyone. I hope you are all doing great. I am starting to figure out my weights for strength training again for the Lean Muscle Challenge. Some are lighter than I want to be, but that is expected from some time off. I am sorry for the delayed post. Last weekend was a busy weekned, and with the holiday and the extra time off had me confusing the days of the work (plus I got a couple of snow days off of work). I have also been completely sad today with the unexpected loss of Kobe Bryant and his daughter.

Good evening everyone! I hope you are all doing fantastic and the New Year is starting off well. My first week of the lean muscle challenge went so-so. I varied slightly some days from the workouts and was not on point with my macros and calories. I was definitely really sore, especially from that time off from strength training. I am super excited to be getting back into it! Here's to improving week 2! I was able to finish an audio book this week! Yay! I made nutella and it was tasty!

Good evening everyone and Happy New Year! Ready to kick off 2020 with a bang! Today I started the Kaged Muscle 12-week Lean Muscle Challenge. I am super excited for it. I took pictures and measurements yesterday, which are down below. I am very excited for this challenge. My honey bunny and I are actually going to be doing this together, so I am super excited for that! Normally, we follow our own workout plans (especially while I was Marathon Training) and meal plans. This time around they will be more similar, but will still vary slightly for multiple reasons. I will be doing no added sugar a couple of weeks each month (he will not be) and he also gets to eat more. I always have a challenge with macros, so I am excited he will be able to help me out more.
