Yes, YAY for the Giants!!
And those frog crunches sound interesting... they also sound like they'd bother my hips, but that's just my own personal problem, lol.
Kepp up the good work!

Great workout, Lori! I hear you on the Giants, baby! How did Jack handle it?? I was thinking of him.

I did decide not to take the week off, just taking things a little easy these last few days since Monday. Did something stupid to my shoulder/right upper side Tuesday, so that has encouraged me to take it down a notch until I feel back to my fighting strength.

Thanks Baby!
I knew you would share my joy on the Giants' victory!  Jack has been pretty quiet (some may say pouty LOL) since Sunday night.

Monthly update photos
I completely spaced on the fact that we needed to get our one-month photos uploaded, and I apologize for being a bit tardy. 
Ginger reminded me this evening, so here are my updated photos, I will post my measurements by tomorrow afternoon.
I checked out a lot of the other monthly updates and it is simply amazing how much progress has been made!! Everyone looks fantastic and I look forward to seeing the changes over the next five months!
I had taken my first photos myself, but was able to get my husband to take my updated shots, so I hope the difference in angle and background doesn't look too screwy. The white background are my first shots, the green are the photos taken this evening.
     
 
I feel like my behind looks a little higher (which hopefully translates into a little more firm  ). I was also pleased to see much more definition in my shoulder cap.
Let's keep lifting together!

I can't see the pics here at work, but will most definitely take a peek on my home PC. I know you look great, though! So glad you got them posted.

Ready for the next stage!
Super-psyched to be starting stage #2 tomorrow, and I have mentioned on a few different posts, I have dabbled a bit with the moves so I can do the workout tomorrow with no hiccups in form and keep moving.
I did abstain from any serious lifting, which I have to say was pretty damn hard, but continued to do some body weight circuit-type workouts as well as get in some much needed cardio.
I've been a little frustrated after studying my starting and one-month photos. I'm really not seeing much difference (nor am I fishing for anyone to tell me otherwise  ), so I think I will be focusing on working with as much weight as realistic for me on weight-training days but also getting back to doing some serious cardio. on my off days. If anyone has any other ideas for really trimming down, I'd love to hear suggestions. My eating has been great, and I'm still tracking daily to stay accountable. If anything, I'm falling a little under for caloric intake but still hitting goals for protein/vs./carbs. which has always been my Achilles Heel. I've cut back significantly on alcohol intake, and all the little "treats" that I had allowed myself to get back into eating (chocolate, etc. . . ). Anyway, just had to vent a little and I'm really hating that feeling of hitting the wall, so to speak.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!!
~Lori

Good luck starting stage 2 tomorrow!
I'm not sure if I know enough to give this advice, but based on what I've read and experienced, I don't know if throwing in a bunch of steady state is going to give you the results you want with this program. Plus, a single month is not a lot of time, and this program is not so much a loss program as it is a body recomposition program, so I'm thinking that I might give it more time before throwing in a bunch of steady state. This is just one opinion, though.

I appreciate the feedback! I totally agree with you on the program being more of a recomposition goal rather than loss. I wasn't planning on doing so much of steady state cardio., but more along the lines of intense HIIT cardio. with some plyo. days mixed in to shake things up a bit. I have been working out 5-6 days/week for almost a year now, so my body is definitely accustomed to that level of activity. It started as a weight loss thing, and since I'm pretty much at goal weight, I guess I'm just looking for that magic combo to deliver the "perfect" results. I love the NROL4W program and I don't want to do anything to mess with the sculpting results I hope to get, but I still feel like I need some sort of physical supplementation to aid in the overall fat store loss.
(Sorry, I tend to have a bit of O.C.D. on this kind of thing! )
Thank you so much for the comments and the encouragement to look at things a little more clearly!!
~Lori

I beg to differ that you do not have a difference in the photos. There are several of us on here doing the recomp thing as opposed to weight loss. Nice progress btw for you too. My one month photos didn't show it but I am starting to see some major changes in my body just this week, so looking very forward to the next photo shoot as I expect all of us will be seeing similar. It looks like you are MAJORLY on track.

Thank you! I think (hope) I'm going through one of those self-doubt phases, but I certainly appreciate the encouragement.
