For the last two months or so, I have been going hardcore. We have new trainers here at work, and with all due respect to our former trainer, they are awesome. They changed our old Boot Camp class to one called HEAT, which basically feels like an hour of preseason sports drills. It's both strength building and aerobic at once. It is a killer workout, plus the abs excercises we do are so hard that I can rarely finish them. I have already noticed a difference with this class over the old one.
Along with that I also asked one of them to update my lifting plan based on my goals. She has me doing an 8 week cutting followed by 8 week bulking plan. I have been working hard with that and trying to lift and or go to class 4 days a week. I have already moved up in a lot of the lifting categories, and I'm back to tracking my body fat % regularly. As of last month I was at 15.2% which was almost a 1% drop from the previous month (the new trainers do the test differently than the last one so that is why the numbers may seem odd to regular readers. I figure if it's consistantly done the same way and is going down then I will be happy with that). I'm sticking to 2500 calories a day based on some advice I got from a nutrionist, because at 2000 I risked burning up the muscle I was building along with the fat. It will take longer this way to get under 10% but it will be better in the long run.
Now if I can just be patient.....
