Hi, Fellow Juggernauts!
My name is Michelle. This is my first Juggernaut Challenge ever..and I'm super EXCITED! First, a little bit about me and why I joined: I am a married mother of 5 children. Health and fitness have always been a huge part of my life. I played sports growing up...everything from softball, track, etc. to cheerleading, gymnastics, and dance. However, after getting married, having 5 kids, and working a demanding, full-time job (on your feet 10+ hours w/no break!), fitness fell down on the priority list. Until recently, when I decided to head back to the gym. BOY, am I glad I did! I'm feeling so much better mentally and physically!
By getting back to the gym, I was also exposed to many positive, uplifting people with a similiar mindset who pushed me further than I realized I could go! One of the most notable forces I came to know is Betsy Lane! She is one of the most AMAZING people I have ever encountered..and she is a JUGGERNAUT! By her constant motivation, uplifting words, and willingness to always take time to help others, I was completely inspired! Not to mention, her work ethic, persistence, determination, and upbeat swagger at the gym. If this is a JUGGERNAUT, than I want in!
Wishing everyone HUGH SUCCESS on their 90 day journey!! Happy Lifting!!

Hi, Bill! I have two in college, two in high school, and one in second grade! Actually, my daughter has been doing cardio with me after school. And the family has been eating healthier because I'm only making healthy foods, i.e. grilled chicken, broccoli, and wild rice. Both older children are very active in sports and weight lifting because of my example.
Thanks for the warm welcome to the 40+ Juggernaut Crew! It's a pleasure!

Completed Program 3. Still pretty sore from yesterday. Felt like I was running a little on steam. Can't wait for the pre-workout supplement
to come in! Hoping it well give me more energy to blast thru this workout! I pretty new to supplements in general, but pretty excited to
try them out. Especially if it will improve workout and results! Box jumps gave me a little run for my money today, but I got them in. Sitting
on the other hand (after it was over), was quite another story....Ouch! LOL

Looking at your Macros 120/125/30 That's not much for the workouts you are doing (5x a week + cardio) - might explain why you felt you were running on steam. Those macros appear to be somebody on a extreme cut - 1250 calories. Personally I would like to see you bump up to 120/175/40 - 1540 calories if you want to cut and 120/225/50 - 1830 calories if you are in maintenance. Just my opinion. A lot of people get caught in the trap of cutting macros way too much - I have seen this a lot. Just my opinion - you can play with your macros and see how you feel. Everyone is different and you have to find what's best for you - but it's great your tracking your macros!!

Hi, Bill! I appreciate you taking the time out to help me. I'll take it into consideration. I got this diet and training routine from my Personal Trainer. It is geared to a Bikini Fitness Model work protocol. Right now, the protein (120) and Fat (30) remain the same each day, and the carbs vary each day, i.e. 150 Friday, 125 Sat., 125 Sun., 150 Mon., 125 Tues., 120 Wed., and 120 Thurs. along with 30-35 min cardio each day. But I'm thinking you may be right!

Yes, I agree, Tank. While keeping protein at 120, and Fat at 30, it seems my personal trainer has the Carbs varying from 150 to 125 to 120 to 100, depending on the day of the week. Beats the heck out of me...I just figured he was carb cycling (whatever that means!! Hahha)
Have a great day! BTW, you and your buddy, Deadbolt, are AWESOME to follow! So entertaining and informative. Keep up the great effort!

I genuinely appreciate your warm welcome. It's truly AMAZING how cool it is in this challenge that anyone helps each other. That is exactly why I joined! It feels great to be part of such an outstanding family! I will be definitely taking you up on your offer. For starters, I have no idea how to post pics or videos on my thread. I'm hoping I'm doing everything right as far as content on my log. I was feeling a little overwhelmed at first, but I figure I'll just take it one step at a time, and keep asking questions LOL! Have a great day! And thanks again! ;}

============================
DIET/NUTRITION
Day 3: Thursday, 1/9/14 - 120/100/30 Macros (includes egg white omelet w/salsa, rye toast, lean steak w/vegs/brown rice; grilled chicken salad)
==================================
DAILY SUPPLEMENTS:

INFINITE FORCE (Watermelon) 10 grams BCAA
FINAL CUT
Same as Day 1 (And adding: Fish Oil 3/g/day)
1/2 gallon water (working my way up to a gallon)
======================================
Had to break my workout in the gym down to two sessions due to family obligations and time constraints. Completed entire Program 3 workout. Received my IL STACK today, and raced back to the gym to complete the second-half of my session. WOW!!! What a difference! Using the supplements really gave me a hugh PUMP! I smoked the workout with energy to spare. Although, in all honesty, my body is still adjusting to this grueling schedule, and really need to work on getting more water and more rest!Last edited by Bombshell7; 01-11-2014 at 12:27 AM.
