Thank you for all your replies. I have figured out what I want to do.
I am going to go back to NRL4W. The rest periods were long enough. I was sore, but was ready for the next workout. My body was being worked in new ways and I felt it was a nice change from what I've done before. I realize that the workouts will become more challenging as I progress through the program, but should do fine as long as I don't try to increase the weights I use too aggressively.
I started wearing a pedometer earlier this month and was amazed at how few steps I was actually taking during the day in spite of my workouts. I will need to increase my daily activity level if I am to be able to eat a reasonable amount to provide energy for NRL4W. My maintenance level is supposed to be around 1950 calories (working out 6 days a week, 45 min to 1 hr), but that is probably not true if I am sitting for the rest of the day. I really don't want to drop below 1600 calories.
Now to get on with it.
