You have inspired me to add the 100 push-ups into my regimen. I would love to be able to do at least 25. I can do 10 right now. My goal is also to do a pull-up unassisted around the end of the challenge. Did you do Dos's Power Training during the last challenge? You had awesome results.

Thanks, Bev. I did NROL4W along with TNT from January thru May and then transitioned into PT in June. I also am now just eating at a deficit and have added some carbs back in. Once these last few pounds of fat are gone via the deficit, I will be looking at hypertrophy and upping my calories.

I can't imagine your potential with hypertrophy, that's the fun part! Thanks for the info.
Have a great week!

Well, the re-feed seems to have had no ill effects on my weight. Scale is still the same, despite 3 days of upped calories and carbs (Friday thru Sunday). It even seemed to be flirting with 135.5 (My scale only goes in 1/2 pound increments). So, I am expecting that bring the calories back down this week should result in a nice loss kickstart for this week.

The most wild thing happened this morning. I was down in the cafeteria getting some tea this morning watching CNN. The CNN anchor had on the EXACT same shirt that I have on today -- it is very recognizable. What are the odds of that EVER happening!! EXACT SAME SHIRT -- on the same day! And, it's not even a new shirt or anything! Bizarre!

That happened to me once...I was wearing the exact same j.crew sweater as Monica (Courtney Cox) on Friends in the episode. I thought I was sooooo cool because I was about 16 at the time.

That is bizzare. At least you weren't in the same room or anything. Well, I guess in a way you were.  |

Hey Jane! I havent been following your programs, what are your fitness goals? I know you are trying to lose fat, but I wasnt sure if you are following OPT or not. Just wondering what you are doing on the diet front...........and what youre targeting within the what time frame?
