TweetGood morning! I hope you all had a great weekend! Ours was filled with lots of fun! The kids did great in there first soccer game! It was so much fun to watch them too!! I carbed up this weekend to try to get my leptin levels up. I seem to be gaining muscle despite the calorie deficit so we are trying to boost my metabolism to get the fat to drop! My workout this morning was great! Strength is good! Somehow the push workouts seem to take a bit longer- I think because I am slower on pressing than pulling. So yet again, I ran out of time! I was trying to squeeze the last little bit in but my daughter was not up getting ready and not responding to my texts. So I had to rush home to get the kids moving.

You are truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your achievements and continuing success with me.

TweetU are hardcore I like it keep it up love reading this journal
TweetGreat log. Some really nice lifts.
TweetWell well...I plumb fell off the logging wagon didn't I? I resigned my position with TGB which required me on here...Started working with Hi-Tech Parma group that had me on other forums so I just got preoccupied! I am back! I'll be back in here logging again. I'll try to catch you up and attempt to be quick! lol I spent Jan. to Oct. attempting a cut. Had very little success due to my thyroid issues and crapped out metabolism! Started reverse dieting mid october and still slowly building my calories every few weeks. Funny thing is, I've lost 5 lbs since building back up! I'll take it!!...Sunday before last, I woke up with a blood clot in my leg. It is in a superficial vein so theres no treatment just time. So, I have been taking it easier/lighter on the weights. My training is currently a little more athletically focused with a mix of explosive movements/core training/mobility/conditioning.

TweetShe's back! That's rough about the blood clot but at least its superficial and you know about it. Like the new training routine but most important your back at it. Keep crushing and it's great to see your pushing forward.

Thanks! I haven't stopped training! Just fell off logging here...Yes, very thankful the blood clot is not serious. I have varicose veins so I knew I was susceptible...hopefully now the insurance will cover the vein surgery!
