They've probably been lifting a while. Don't worry about it, just keep pulling hard and correctly.

1 month pics and stats:

Weight: 160.5 to 153.0
Chest: 40" to 39"
Below Chest: 32" to 31"
Stomach right below belly button: 39.5" to 39.25"
Waist at smallest: 32.5" to 30"
Hips: 41" to 40.25"
Right Thigh: 24.25" to 23.5"

**I just started tracking BF with the Omron, so next month I will have a better idea of that measurement. I know it's not 100% accurate, so I'd rather work with a month of trending before reporting on my results**

Yea, you got pics up. Wow, I can really see the difference in your waist (you also have more definition in your ab area) and your chin looks thinner.

I will get my pics done this weekend.

Good job so far.

Oh, wow!! I am so impressed by your pics -- a definite visible difference and in only one month!! My tighter looking all over but, yes, around the middle most especially. Wow.

You are hereby appointed my hero. I need to steal some of your 100% nutrition mojo!

Thanks, all.

I do feel good, mostly for the enhanced well-being. I'm going out tonight to dinner and now I am even more sure that I will make good nutrition choices. That momentum can really carry you through!

I'm even more excited to see what changes the 2nd month brings.

Thanks again!

Looking great Jane! I've been on TNT plan A for the past 4 weeks, too, and like the results so far. Are you planning to stay on A?

Tom, funny you should mention it! Just yesterday I picked out the bikini! I don't know when it will debut, but it WILL be seen during the challenge.

Jane,

Nice progress. I also concur with the others that I see changes in the waist. But I'm also seeing definition in the arms.

Keep up the good fight

Bob

Today was school day and a rest day for me. I came home and began prepping for the upcoming week, which is difficult because I am on jury duty and don't know when I may have to go, so that will screw up any hot lunches I have planned. So far, Monday is free, but I suspect I will have to go on Tuesday and may have to rearrange what to pack.

Anyhow, I have the Chicken Vindaloo in the crock pot. Man, those spices are way expensive!! LOL!

I have a chicken roasting in the oven.

I have lo-carb meatballs simmering on the stove-top.

Still might get one more thing going while I am watching the game.

Looking forward to tomorrow's workout because I get to have CARBS before and after my workout with my protein shakes -- switching to TNT Plan B after 4 weeks on Plan A. Never thought I'd be so excited! Oh, what to choose -- banana, chocolate milk, blackberries, blueberries....mmmmm! And TWO of them.

I hear you! I'm planning on switching from A to C where you get to have carbs one day a week. Sweet! I don't think I'll go supercrazy but I want my fruit back!...

What flavor of whey? Chocolate right?

I think you'd be best served with cherries and oats. The cherries have the fructose for liver replenishing and the oats for muscle replenishing.

However, remember what Cassandra said, women do better with long chain monounsaturated fat in there PWO period and some crash from high carb intake PWO. So, along with the cherries and oats, perhaps a tbsp or two of natural peanut butter. Olive oil is sufficiently bland enough to not alter the taste of the drink a great deal, so that's another option.

Well, I use chocolate and vanilla for my PWO -- either one I like. Since I am following TNT, I am trying to adhere to the Plan B specifications. So, with that being said, I am to have 20 grams of protein and no more than 40 grams of carbs before and after my workout. I went with the suggestions in the book for my carbs (ie chocolate milk, banana's, berries, etc). Also, to not add fat to the shakes. I guess I'll have to see how it goes and watch my workouts and fat loss/lean gain to see if I need to tweak anything. I do love cherries, however, so that may be added to the list!

#3's in the bag, #1 and #2 are kinda related, but looks like you're definitely on track with those, and I'm not sure I've seen anything related to #4 yet - unless I've missed. Nice work.

Thanks, Susan!

And, hey Tom! #4 should be by the end of NROL4W or so Lou and Alwyn promise! And, I'll be working my hardest to prove them right!!

the thing that will prevent me from doing your goal # 4 is not losing enough scale weight. MUST follow a tighter nutrition plan this month.

February 4
NROL4W Stage 1 Workout A (7 of 8)

Squat

8 x 80
8 x 85
8 x 90

Superset
Pushup
3 x 8 (all 3 sets real ones)

SeatedRow
8 x 60
8 x 60
8 x 60

Superset
Step-ups on 20" bench
8 x 7.5's
8 x 7.5's
8 x bw
I seem to always take it down to BW for the last set to really concentrate on form. For this last set, I worked on just gliding my non-working foot to the bench....not really touching it at all on the step up.

Prone Jackknife
15 x bw
12 x bw
15 x bw
This was the best I've ever done these

This workout was GREAT!

I have to work on my HIIT. You know, once someone (Alwyn, Lou, etc) tell me I really don't need cardio....well, that's all I need to back off! LOL! I know I need to at least fit in some intervals after my weights, so that's my plan for Wednesday. I know intervals are prescribed after the B workout in Stage 2, so I might as well start now.

Today, I was so excited to start TNT Plan B because I got to put carbs into my pre and post workout protein shake. But, all the excitement soon turned to disappointment. I tried blackberries in vanilla shake...yuck! I tried using chocolate milk instead of water for my shake...too sweet! I drank it, but eww! Now, after my workout, I tried banana in vanilla. I'm not feeling it. I really like my protein only shakes better. So, now I am wondering if I should go to Plan C, which would keep me at protein only pre and post shakes and allow me one carb load day a week (Saturday). OR, stay on Plan B and keep my protein only shakes and actually eat the carbs separately -- not put them in my shake. I'm going to have to think on this.

All in all, a good day and a super workout!! I get to graduate to the big wheels next workout for my squat! Should be a great way to end Stage 1 Workout A.

And, though I don't dress for the gym, I got the the cutest new pair of Nike workout pants and I felt so good in them at the gym!

Stay strong, everyone!

As a mental exercise - go back and read your first post in your log here, and see if there's a difference in tone... (yes, I meant to do that).

Yeah, the self-confidence/happiness from working out and working hard had nothing to do with it.
