Hi Everyone-
I am brand new to the forums, but was wanting to see if you all could look over my schedule to see if I am on the right track. I have always been active (sports, gym), but now have two young kids and am nearing my 30th birthday so am in a slump and needing to get back on track.
Anyway- I am a female, 5’4, and currently weigh 145, but my goal is to lose 15-20 pounds of fat. I would love to transform that fat into muscle. I am not too concerned with the scale, but more focused on health and the way I feel. I had a trainer from my gym (Gold’s) help come up with my workout/food. Like I said, I want to lose fat and wanted to run this by you all to make sure I am on the right track. Thanks so much!
