Hey bamazav, thanks so much for your input.
Yes, I think I will probably be heading into Strength I after the Break-In routine. The only reason I was debating Fat Loss I was because, as a result some rapid weight loss, I have a tiny bit of that skinny fat going on. (Really only around the love handles, but not that much. Still, lost a good deal of muscle along with fat unfortunately). I am sure that will be taken care of with increased fitness in general.
Thanks for the advice about dropping extra push-ups and core work. I am still confused as to all the conflicting advice for this (among general fitness people, not specifically weight lifters). I wonder, does anybody feel to need to supplement a NRoL routine with additional pushups/core-work?
Although I got used to this daily routine, my sore muscles from Break-In are real happy about dropping the extra work -- at least temporarily!
