I received an email about this free teleseminar series this morning from Craig Ballantyne, the strength and conditioning coach whose Turbulence Training workout programs have been kicking my butt for the past two months.

The Busy Woman’s Fat Loss Solution

This is a series of 10 free hour long teleseminars with various experts and professionals from the fitness and nutrition world specifically geared towards female fat loss. Check out the link for the full list of experts and topics.

If you are looking for ways to jumpstart your current program or just want to learn more about fitness and nutrition with a busy schedule, it might be worth the time to check out a few of the calls.

Well, I’m up about half a pound this week due to water retention, I think, since my nutrition has been good despite cutting back on my workouts while I was sick, but I’ll weigh in again in about 2 days for a more accurate progress report. I took it easy this weekend with the workouts, got in close to 1800 calories per day, and basically got in more sleep and stuck with gardening (yeesh, I have a lot of weeds in my yard!) for my activity.

I HAVE gone down in measurements and body fat percentage though, which matter more to me than scale weight anyway.

I’m going to aim for full compliance with diet and exercise this week since I feel like I’m about 95% back to full health again with just a few more days of Tylenol Cold and Sinus caplets left.
