Hi, I bought NROL4W about two weeks ago, and I'm starting Stage I today. I found this forum when I came online to download the workout journal.
I've been reading the posts and love the idea of accountability many of you found with your challenge. I wish I had known about the book, much less the challenge in Jan...
So, here's to accoutability for me...
my story: I gained about 15 lbs and lost muscle mass over the last year and a half. Mostly by eating like a HUGE giant fat man (I've always had a big appetite), working out MUCH less than normal (too much food, not enough ways to burn the energy), working long hours and using lunch and dinner as social times; mostly with men whom I would out eat.
My goal:
Drop two pant sizes
Feel comfortable in a bikini, preferably running or being active in said bikini!
Buff up.
Lose the cottage cheese appearance on my thighs and butt
My Plan:
Diet: I don't have the ability to make my own meals, I will be trying to follow the diet as close as possible. I have had success on low carb diets in the past, but have recently felt too tired when going very low carb - hence following the laid out program.
Exercise: As laid out in the book. Will likely add one day a week longer cardio session and eventually triathlon training program
Ok, so that's it. This is my second post ever - I'm not sure that I understand the organization or how to not clutter the forum, but I thought it would be helpful for me to put it out there!
I'll look into the logs for updates and keeping track of progress.
thanks for listening
here goes!
