Did an hour cardio at the gym on the TM -- too hot/humid/stormy to do it outside today.
Foods right on target. Feeling great with my calorie deficit and my training. So, I think I am on the right track for sure. Tomorrow will be workout 8 of Power Training...almost on to Phase 2 (lower reps, yeah!).

Tom, I am loving the workouts! I love that I got to choose my exercises, that I can mix them up when I want -- from workout to workout OR even within my workout, as long as I follow the template. It's working out great for me. I really like it. I made spreadsheets for each phase, with all of my exercise choices. So, like yesterday, for my knee-dominant exercise I could do either BSS/lunge/step-up. I usually do all of my sets doing one exercise, but last night I mixed it up and alternated the BSS with the step-up. This book should keep me busy at LEAST through the end of the year!

Great workouts, Jane. You really are inspiring. The fact that you work so hard and can maintain a very considerable amount of weight loss, is simply awesome. You once again have me inspired that it isn't impossible, just takes some willpower.

Looking good Jane! I took a break and now need to get my butt back in the gym. I think I might start with the Power Training book as well. Do they have workouts geared towards fat loss as does NROL?

George, there are 3 programs in Power Training: Total Fitness, Hypertrophy, and Strength. Right now, I'm doing Total Fitness, and then I'll move into Hypertropy (I think). Dos recommends going back to Total Fitness after each of the other programs (they are 12-week programs). So, I might do Total Fitness, Hypertrophy, Total Fitness, Strength, Total Fitness, etc.
I've found that as long as my diet is in check, the weight loss follows, regardless of my workout program. So, I like to find something that I enjoy and WANT to do.
