mmm food porn in someone else's log. see, I'm not the only one.

I'm with stingo. ask for a spot. although I have to admit, not sure which exercise would be best for a first spot. bench press is rather intimate, but then again, squats are too in a different way. hmmm so many choices....

That's about the only exercise I could think of that would plausibly require a spot - unless instead of asking for a spot the question would be to ask him to watch his form and she'd do likewise?

Thanks everyone! You know, I am just so new at all this....having been "out of the game", so to speak, for so many years. I have managed a friendly "hi" and a smile and even worked in on the lat machine with him and his buddy (brother?). I feel like there is potential there. It's just hard to get much farther than that when all of us are doing our thing with our workouts. I'll keep trying!! I'm just not used to this....it's been a LOOOOOONG time since I've even had to think about dating or any of that!

On the plus side, all of my working out and doing so well with my nutrition is inspiring me and making me more confident!

awesome job on the confidence. I have found the same thing with the confidence, although it is manifesting in different ways, lol!

Tonight's dinner is Shrimp Diavalo (shrimp tossed with red pepper flakes, cooked in olive oil. remove from pan. saute up in same pan a large sliced onion, add a can of chopped fire-roasted tomatoes and some fresh parsely and fresh basil and toss the shrimp back in!)

YUM!

Keep up the great work Hudson!

Hi Jane-

When I came home from work last night my Mr. Bento had arrived! Here's how I packed it this morning:

I filled the thermos part with boiling water and let it warm while I microwaved my food
Chicken vindaloo in the big container
Heated up a little rice for the second container
Put tomato and mozzarella salad in the third
baby carrots on top

I'll tell you at lunch time how it all came out. I can barely wait!

Thanks to everyone who has stopped by lately! The encouragement and comraderie is so great around here. I'll be making the rounds as fast as I can!

January 30
NROL4W Stage 1 Workout A (6 of 8)


Squat
10 x 70
10 x 80
10 x 80

Superset
Pushup
10 real ones
10 on smith machine w/bar very low
10 on smith machine w/bar very low

(When I did my first set of real push-ups, I felt my lower back/core wanting to give out and there was a flash of pain in my lower back. I didn't want to risk anything so I went to the smith machine to finish out these sets. I'll monitor that lower back area to be sure everything is A-OK.)

SeatedRow
10 x 55
10 x 55
6 x 60/4 x 50

Superset
Step-ups on 20" bench
10 x 7.5's
10 x bw
10 x bw
(took it back down to bw to concentrate on form -- no point in raising the weight on these if I am cheating to get up)

Prone Jackknife
12 x bw
12 x bw
10 x bw


This was a good workout for me, and I was half expecting to tank on this one. Worked so hard today and worked late to boot, so I was pretty beat, but once I got to the gym, I was fine.

I can't believe it's picture time already this weekend. Time flies....!

I hear ya! My form was fine on my little 10" step I was using before the new one was built and I could pack on the weights. Now that I've moved up to the 18", it's a whole new ball of wax! I'll probably be at bodyweight for quite a while until my non-working leg gets it through its thick skull to play dead.

Hope your back is okay!

You have done so well with your food plan, Jane! I have read your log when I feel like going to the "crap (not craps) table" here at work. There is always something horrible there. Which, if you looked around my office would explain a LOT.
Stay strong, Girl!

Stay strong. I always tell myself - if you eat what your coworkers eat, you will look like your coworkers. Luckily no food can turn me into a middle-aged bald man, but still.

hey... there's banas in it... those are healthy... and as long the chocolate chips are dark chocoloate I don't see the problem with an itty-bitty piece, hehehe (I'd add a devil face here if I knew how)

Hi Jane

So far I am very into the Mr Bento. Compared to carrying around a grocery store bag with 25 tupperwares that fall out in the car and make a mess and then end up on the floor of the car dirty for the next week, it was very organized. It also holds a good amount of food. It held everything I ate for lunch and snacks. And it has a metal spork with a hat!

When I took everything out for lunch it was around six hours after I packed it. The chicken and rice was warm and the baby carrots and tomato and mozzarella salad were at room temp. I still wanted my entree a little warmer so I microwaved it for about 30 seconds. When I got home and looked at the box, I realized I had them stacked wrong. I had the one with the insulated top on the bottom, instead of second from the bottom like I was supposed to.

Tonight I am actually making the taco pizza you mentioned and I am going to send it with my boyfriend for his lunch. So we will see how hot it keeps everything. I suspect it would work the best with more liquidy things like stew or chili or soup. I could throw something like that in the crockpot before bed, then throw it in my lunch in the morning.

I'll keep you posted!

Jane, isn't the gain in confidence so cool. I honestly think the strength, health, and mental benefits of lifting correctly outweigh the body comp changes.

Awesome job becoming so mentally and physically strong.

And, good luck in the man department....I cannot even imagine being a part of that again....scary....

Oh we are going to get hammered tonight!! Lots of ice, sleet, and snow starting around midnight. Should make for a fun rush hour. I'm up towards Cleveland.

Gotta love it! I am dreading rush hour, myself. Of course, the kiddos are excited thinking they may finally get a snow day. Drive safe, Jane!

Stay warm and safe!

It's the ice that is going to make things messy. I always worry about the power lines being weighed down and losing power. The snow I can handle.

February 1
NROL4W Stage 1 Workout B (6 of 8)

Deadlift
10x75
9x80
10x75

Superset
Dumbbell Shoulder Press
10x15 db's
7x15 and 3x12.5 db's
6x15 and 4x12.5 db's

Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown
10x40
6x45, 4x40
6x45, 4x40

Superset
Lunge
10x10 lb db's
10x10 lb db's
10x7.5 lb db's

Swiss Ball Crunch
3 x 12

This was a great workout and I feel super! Had a bit of foot cramping issues during the lunges, but worked through it.

Nutrition still going strong. I took measurements and weight this morning and will take pics tomorrow morning. I was pleased with the stats after a month of NROL4W and TNT. I hope the pics show it!

**Need some clarification** On the Lat Pulldown machine, I put the pin in the weight stack and where I put the pin, it has a "4" on it, and then I put the 5lb extra plate on top of the weight stack. That's 45 lbs, right?? I am in AWE of these women who are pulling 80-100 lbs! OMG! I feel so weak!

I'm sure you're probably pulling more than you think. Our DB presses are essentially the same weight but I do 60-65 on the lat pulldowns... I"m guessing the plates are 15lbs instead of 10 because I think that's what the ones I use are.

You think?!? I really need to find this out because I have the same issue, then, with my rows. I am going to have to check this out.
