March 19-21

Thursday was technically an "off" day - no lift, no steady state cardio, no intervals, but I taught 3 classes:
8 am bodypump, 10 am spinning and 6:30 pm step. total calories burned for all 3 according to HR monitor was 1434
macros: 196/94/47

Friday was intervals - done on the elliptical + 350 rep abs
macros: 189/89/48

saturday - taught 10 am spinning (in place of 30 minutes steady state)

6:30 pm lift - this was the first time in 5 weeks that I felt like I had no energy going into my lift - was worried about getting through it. not sure if it was the culmination of the last 3 days of activity (which is why I gave all the detail about my "off" day) - or if it was just how long the day was between spinning class (which was more intense and longer than usual steady state is) and the drive back and forth to Cornerstone this afternoon. anyway, here's the lift:

hacks: 90/8 110/8 140/8 160/8 180/8 200/8

March 15th

Chest/bi - lift @ 11 am - little earlier than I like to lift - felt a little weak.

could not get on anything that would allow a slight incline bb press -so did slight incline db press instead
slight incline db press: 30/8 35/8 40/8 45/8 50/8 55/8

macros today: 190/180/36

measurements:
neck: 13
waist: 31
hips: 39.5
weight: 188 - yikes! I'm sure I don't need to say this - but I'm frustrated and worried. would still like to hit the stage May 2nd - not sure how it's going to happen. the weird thing is that I don't feel heavier or even look heavier - just feel like I'm holding water or something - and this past week I should have let go of some retained water, not the other way around!
on the plus side - feel stronger each week!

pm lift - this was first day of "B" lifts - see below for questions

o.k - on chest/bi day - you have In Db listed twice - I'm assuming the second time is bicep curls?
can you give me a little clarification on glute Ham?
on delt/tri day, what is a 3 hole press?

thanks.

at the risk of sounding like I'm whining...I' feeling very frustrated! weight isn't really moving - just back and forth between 183 and 185. felt awesome last weekend - but have felt bloated and gross all this week - really feel like I'm moving backwards. my arms are leaner, but lower body seems to be headed the opposite direction.
I'll update with weight, measurements and pics later - just letting you know how things have felt this week.
