I have to admit, I'm starting my official training log a little bit late, but here it goes anyway.
I've been tracking everything so far on paper, which was working out really well until a co-worker noted how good I was eating. (I was carrying a snack of veggie sticks and hummas from the refridgerator to my desk when I really want to be carrying a bag of chips. Yes, I have some food issues.) Putting everything here will, hopefully, keep me on track when my junk food cravings kick in.

Quick basics:
Age: 33
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 136.4
Chest: 33
Waist: 26.5
Hips: 39
R/L Calf: 13.75/13.75
R/L Thigh: 23.5/24.25
R/L Biceps:10.5/10.5
Approx. Body Fat %: 26

Goals:
1. Break through my plateau. Over the last year, I lost a good 45lbs by doing strictly cardio--running, biking, things of that sort. But, towards the end of last year, I hit a plateau and haven't gotten anywhere since. After talking with a co-worker (a different one than mentioned above-oddly, they're both named Rob), I was turned on to NROF4W.
2. Gain strength. This was not a goal initially, but, after reading the book, it quickly became one.
3. Like the way I look in my undies. No explanation needed here...
4. Bring my body fat % closer to 20%.

The biggest challenge for me is going to be the food. Due to some health issues, I've been eating 5-6 small meals for several years; however, the content of those meal have not always been the best. Last year when I started my cardio-kick, I started paying attention to what I ate. But, that all went to crap over the holidays, and now it's time to focus on that again.

I'm looking forward to continuing my workouts, and have a great workout partner who supports my efforts, even though he does laugh at me sometimes.

I realized that because of software compatibility issues, I can't post my first 9 workouts, but will that that rolling soon. I'm going to be doing stage 1 workout A5 tomorrow, and will hopefully be able to get a screenshot of my training log up and running for that.

Oh, I suppose a name would be nice: it's Christina
