Hi everyone. I've been checking out this forum for a while now, but this will be my first log, as part of the women's challenge.

I have been through rages, tears, despair, two cheap digital cameras, and two crashed computers this weekend. I am so happy I have pictures I don't even care what they look like!!!

I am 31 years old and I've been lifting weights since senior year of high school. I basically did the same bodybuilding-style, isolating body parts workout for over ten years! Wonder why I didn't see much progress, duh? My dad sent me a copy of New Rules about a year ago and I started doing the workouts and I am so happy with the results in both strength and appearance.

So far I have done Break-In, Fat Loss II, Fat Loss III, Hypertrophy I, Strength I and II, and I have four more workouts in Strength III.

I love lifting weights and working out in general, but I am not as good with the diet and that is where I am trying to make improvements. I am following a calorie cycling plan based on the H.E.L.L. diet.

Today's workout will be the drills from HELL once I get done messing around on the computer.

Thanks for reading.
