It looks like a Hpy program from NROL.....am I right?? It looks familiar to me!
Yes, it's HYP II from NROL. I started this program over the summer, but had too many starts and stops so I started over this fall. I've got 9 workouts left with it and I feel like I've been doing it forever. But I am determined to finish it!
I didn't have the mental toughness today to do 25 stepups and I skipped my crunches at the end of the workout. I worked out at home so maybe that had something to do with it. The energy of the gym helps me to push harder.

Nutrution has been spotty this month. I really haven't been able to manage a sustained deficit. I have been snacking in the afternoons and failing to get enough water. To come out with a good calorie number at the end of the day, I have been giving up some of the good things I need, like my sweet potato and squash. I notice a difference with my skin. Those vitamin A packed foods really make your skin nice, and it suffers when you don't eat them. My calories have been hovering close to maintenance so no major outward changes. But I'm really hoping I can get my mojo back because I feel better when I eat well.
I haven't done much lately. We've got a nasty virus in my household. First my son, now my daughter and myself. Hopefully we will all be on the mend next week. But I leave for London on the 4th of Nov. for 4 days, so there will be another break in this program. HYP II has not brought good luck for me. When I get back from London, whether I am done with it or not, I am moving on to something else.
Thanks. I don't know, but my son had a fever for 5 days, and my daughter is on day 2. I don't have a fever, but a killer sore throat, painful ears and head and intermittant nausea. Lovely.
Walk - 50 minutes. Wow, am I sore today. But in a good way.
I saw a piliated woodpecker on my walk. They are such amazing birds. I heard it first, and because most of the leaves are down I was able to spot him. Such a magnificent red head.
A little low on protein today, but a deficit is a deficit. NEAT was also very high - on my feet all day - gym, errands, baking, cooking. (Calories may be a little higher due to a few tastes, but no major damage.)
The calories are creeping up slightly each day, but I've got 4 days of a deficit under my belt. That hasn't happened for a while. The big test will be this weekend in NY.
Four days of deficit in a row! Congrats! That is a toughie for me, so I appreciate your effort. You manage to get in a lot of protein. For me, protein is the most boring food so it is hard to make it that much of my daily intake and feel satisfied.
