Hey there guys! I'm new here but figured I'd introduce myself by starting a log. I started this journey about 7 years ago. I'll give you the short version though. Growing up, I battled with my weight constantly. I did not play sports and I really enjoyed eating! Lol In 2006, I weighed over 200lbs at 5'5". I realized how fat I was and wanted to loose weight. So, I did the typical female thing- dropped calories down to 900 a day and ate all crap. Lost down to 140 and got pregnant with my second child. After having my second child, I joined a gym determined not to get fat again! Little did I know I'd become addicted! Haha...Waisted over a year basically still eating crap and playing in the gym before I started educating myself on proper training and nutrition. Slowly, I am learning and making more changes... As of now I have lost 70+lbs and 20-25% body fat.

I am currently working with someone laying out my nutrition and training.

I lift 4 days a week using a push/pull set up with cardio at lunch most days usually in the form of HIIT/Tabata.

Macros vary depending if it's before a training day or not. Most carbs are done in a backloading fashion at the later part of the day other than a small portion post workout.
Roughly:
200p, 175c, 60f/200p, 40c, 60f
Water- 1 gallon or more a day

Yesterday was a cardio only day! Did 30 mins of Tabata sprints on the treadmill. 20/10 @8-8.5. Then 3 sets of pull ups wide/neutral 8-10 reps each.

Today was push day #2 for the week. Totally zoned out several times. Lol (in a good way) I switched my music up from mostly Skillet to a mixture of Hard Rock. Love it! I skip some of the songs due to the language but otherwise it's perfect for the intensity I keep during training!
