Macro goals (Same as last week): 1700 Calories – 149g Carbs – 47g Fat – 170g Protein (Also paying attention to fiber, sodium & sugar) (See why here.)
Water intake: 128oz+ per day (has been around 140oz lately)
Current supplements: Protein, Preworkout, CLA, L-Carnatine
Starting weight – 6/1/2018: 144.8lbs
Last Week – 6/9/2018 Weight: 142.8lbs
Current – 6/16/2018 Weight: 143.4lbs – My weight actually went up a smidgen this morning. It had been hovering around 142.4lbs most of the week. Not completely sure where the increase came from – it could be muscle mass or maybe I just ate more yesterday, but I’m feeling leaner again and I can see a difference in the pictures which is exactly why I stress not obsessing over the scale! 🙂
Here’s where I’m at compared to the beginning and last week:

- 30 mins running fasted
- Ab circuit – 15 reps each, 4 rounds:
- Plank
- Superman
- Flutter Kicks
- Long Arm Crunches

Workout
Triceps & Biceps
My body was just crazy tired this day. Sometimes you just need to feel when you need to push yourself throughout and sometimes you need to listen to your body and let it rest – so I compromised, no cardio. 🙂

- 4×12 Tricep push down – cable machine
- 4×10 (each arm) Alternating hammer curls
- 4×15 each Superset: Tricep rope, Barbell curl
- 4×15 Crossbody tricep extension
- Shoulder work (If you seen my pull post on Instagram, I’ve been struggling with my left shoulder, so I’ve been taking time at the end of every workout to work on just that. Thanks to everyone who sent me over advise and new moves to try!)
