Hi there.
I´ve been out for some time... Some issues I had to resolve now everything is fine.
So, is Spring time here in the South Hemisphere and we are looking for Summer. I never was a Summer person but I live in a very hot country and I got to confess that I am excited for this year Summer. I don´t know why, but I am.
Had a great Sunday yesterday and har time at the gym: 45 minutes of cardio + chest and tris.
I´ll write down my routines here.
Hope to make new friends.
Cheers from Brazil.

Oh, if you find out let me know, and if I find out i'll do the same for you

Returning after several injuries and trying to make my best.
Due to a lot of overeating, I am now at 76,5 kg (what a shame)! I gain weight easily and I got to struggle with my body´s nature. Bu´t that´s life, we got good and bad moments and I am sure I´ll be back on the 70´s kg around February - I am working hard on it.

From today:
- increasing cardio, specially outside, once I am at the beach during Jan. Lot´s of hot weather and Summer beating 102 ° F. There´s a lot of rain, I gotta say, but no problem.
- Going into a low calorie diet, as I am 1,73 m high, I need something around 1500 cal/day. I´ve tried less, but I feel bad, and this is my balance point.
- Having the best meal at the morning, and decreasing calories during the day. The first meal will be at 8, 9 am and the last 8 pm.
- 2000/3000 ml of water every day, including natural juices.
- including Brazil Nuts and Almonds.
- 4/5 portions of fruit every day.

My new assigment: make my best friend go vegan. Gave her a @vbb t-shirt

Suggestions? (and critics) are always appreciated (included: English)....lolo

Cheers from Brazil and

Thanks @Mini Forklift.

I was off for a while due several injuries, specially lower back. I had to take some time of the gym, performing TRX exercises (wich I don´t like, but it was a cool experience) in order to recover.
As I am a little overweight - 5 kgs - some of the exercises I used to perform are very hard to do it, like squats, deadlifts and bent over exercises.
My personal trainer is trying to fix me (lolo), but he blames my vegan diet for everything... like everyone else... I don`t care coz I am so used to this that I even take those people seriously....
Anyway, backing on the track, slow pace, but in the track
Thanks for all the support
All the best

Wish your trainer good luck attempting to avoid early onset osteoporosis due to a dairy and meat centric diet. sheesh At least they are pushing you in the gym.

I have never trained with TRX on the regular but the couple of times I used them I thought they were fantastic. Admittedly though, i'm addicted to iron

Keep at it Daniela!
