I'm pulling a page out of the first workouts in NROL4W, just while I work out which program I am going to follow through. I want to do the strength ones in NROL, but I'm scared to try. :P

I've dropped my weights on some of my exercises to allow form work. I need to work on activating my butt.

Hi Lib - I just wanted to thank you - in your own log - for the amazingly kind and encouraging comments you've written in my log... As I'm sure you can tell, I can get emotional and little things (like stupid statistics) can freak me out - it means the world to me to sign on and get that kind of support and encouragement, so -- thanks!

B: Oatmeal with maple syrup, cup of milk
S: Nutrigrain bar, tangelo

Hey girl
Ahh, my first day back at work with my new eyes and the computers are not my friend. It is normal to still get foggy right? It gets better after I put drops in, but the coputers make then get dry much faster than when I was home. (I'm such a worry-wart)
And your food looks good to me!
NROL Strength One is Kicking my ass and I love it. I love feeling like a jelly fish and knowing that I'm working my muscles out to the core. LOVE LOVE LOVE it

I realized quite recently that although I am small, slender, compact, however you want to put it, that I still see "big me" in the mirror. I used to weigh 139 pounds and now am the smallest I have been without starving myself and still see the 139 pound girl. I know it isn't there and that's not what I really look like now, and I know it will take time to see the new me in the mirror but come on! I am healthy and STRONG...
For some weird reason, I'm more like the guy in this picture--the whole time I was overweight, I thought I wasn't so bad...
ROTFL!!!
Sometimes I think we start off thinking we look ok (denial) and then one day it hits us and WHAM we shift... and once we think we look bad, it's so hard to get back and like we look... even after we improve ourselves.
I know! I can see the pics of myself from the fitness challenge and think "damn, i'm smaller than I think I am" but when I see pics of me clothed, I think "damn, I'm still 139 pounds!"

Does anyone else find they have this issue?
Yes, me! It's something I've really been trying to work on.

I was going to suggest looking at photos of yourself rather than looking at the mirror but it looks like you've already done that. I used to avoid photos of myself at all costs but now I'm trying to let the kids take my pic and when I look at myself, I'm surprised that my body looks as good as it does. Too bad my face looks older than I think it should.
I'm like the guy in the picture, too. And then I see a picture and I'm like, "Holy Shit!" Of course, when I was at my thinnest, I zeroed in on every flaw.

I think that's the thing. I've never been 'okay' with how much I weighed, I've pretty much been overweight for probably 30 years. I think I just gave up that it would ever be different. I definitely have issues acknowledging the progress, as it usually just depresses me that I let it get so bad before I did anything about it. Sigh... definitely screwed up.
I get to go pants shopping tomorrow. I'm a size TWO now. I'm in shock. The Boy could see abs earlier today, and I see more upper body definition now when I'm flexing, or washing my hands, or brushing my teeth.
