Goals:

To Increase My Muscle Mass
To Reduce my Body Fat to a healthier level
To do real pushups

Background:
I'm really only good at sports that involve doing something in a straight line... running, swimming, cycling, etc. So, weights are still pretty new to me.
I started to lift weights in 2008 having read that it was a good way to retain bone density and the only way I'd ever change my body's composition. I'm a small framed 5'10" of around 150 lbs and 32% body fat.
I started NROLFW in October 2008, and while my body fat hasn't really budged, I can lift heavier weights, and my husband says he can see a difference in my upper body. I do struggle to stay motivated, though, as I really can't see any difference. I'm hoping the challenge will help me to stay motivated and to help me keep my exptectations realistic.

I'm starting this log a little early so I can start getting in the habit of keeping it.
