OK, time to start my own training log so I can be accountable and get my goals down on "paper".

I am currently in the break-in on NROL. After break-in, I will take my measurements and go from there. I am staying away from the scale, but will weigh myself at the start of FL1 and at the end of FL1 -- not during. By my estimates, I would like to lose about 15 pounds, but I know that with weight training, how I look and fit into my clothes is way more important than the scale. So, 15 pounds might not be the right number. Size will be the better indicator. Currently, a size 10 and really would be happy with a very comfortable 8.

My goals:

1. To be happy when I look in the mirror nekkid!
2. To wear a bikini (hence the title)
3. To be able to do a push-up
4. To be able to do a pull-up

For diet, this is my biggie. I am terrible when it comes to controlling my diet. I need to grab hold of the reigns right now and put a stop to any overeating and get some sort of plan in place. I believe I will be doing some sort of carb-cycling program. I definitely have too many carbs in my diet. Specifically, I like what I read in Rob Faigin's Natural Hormonal Enhancement. I started it once before, and I think I want to try again and really stick to it. I'd be very interested in hearing if anyone else has tried it.

I'm also going to be doing the Metabolic Overdrive during off days (on on days if I can handle it after weights). I also have an abs class I take 3 days a week and will try to continue if it doesn't interfere with NROL.

So, today is an off day, and tomorrow is workout B of break-in. My legs have a bit of residual DOMS from Tuesday's workout, but I'm going to give those step-ups another try tomorrow!

I look forward to posting and hearing from all of you. Great forum.
