Training log and whatnot for Goldpaws.

Hi,

A little background info on me to get this log started.
I am hoping that logging in daily will keep me accountable for the next 6 months of this program. (I hate writing though)
Bought NROL4W on Thursday, read it over the weekend and began the program this morning. I haven't taken any pictures yet but will do so this week.
I have been working out for the past 20 years doing a variety of activities/exercises/programs etc. I have not made any significant changes in the look of my body because I feel like I wasn't focused/driven/motivated/ (insert lame excuse here)
Back in late 90s I did the Body for Life Challenge and completed the 12 week program but did not get results like I hoped for.
So here I am now, beginning yet another program but this time is different because I can actually visualize myself getting the results I want and I think that alone is half the battle.
I have been following a training program in Oxygen magazine since January but wasn't enjoying it but I did take measurements then.
I need to retake my measurements with this next one as well as those photos. I have lost 3 lbs. in 6 weeks following the program and tracking calories.
I track my calories using Sparkpeople and have been eating approximately 1300-1400 calories per week and have been crazy tired so eating more calories should make a difference in my energy alone.
I plan to eat about 1700-1750 calories on work out days and 1500 on non-workout days.
Here are my stats so far:
age:38
hgt:5'1" (shorty)
wgt: 121
I need to take my measurements and log those.
Here is my workout stats for today:
I work out at my home and have dumbbells, barbells, pulley system, elliptical, treadmill but no squat rack. *boo*

Stage 1 Workout A (2 sets of each)

5 minute warm up walk on treadmill
warm up exercises form book

squats w/ bb 15#/20#
push up on bench bw
seated row 50# (used close grip attachment but noticed in book it uses long bar. may change next time)
step ups (14"step) 12# (after reading the forum I think I may be doing these incorrectly since so many are using bw only. need to check my form. I may be leaning over)
prone jackknife 3/8 (OMG these were so hard. I don't know how to do them correctly. Kept falling off the ball!

Food:
I was so worried about eating so much more food than I am used to.
Up at 5:30 am and immediately ate 1/3 cup cereal with 1/4 cup skim milk. (I NEVER used to eat before working out but am trying to follow the plan)
6:30 am-PWO shake
7:15-oatmeal and whey protein
10:15-protein pancakes
1:15-turkey tenderloin, brown rice, salad
3:15-strawberries and cottage cheese
6:15-egg white burrito with salsa
I will eat lunch for the remainder of the week at 11:45 due to my work schedule but I ate it later because I was stuffed!
I plan to replace the PWO shake with my regular breakfast and eat my oatmeal with whey protein powder immediately after lifting (which I usually do anyway). It was killer forcing myself to eat breakfast after the shake and I need to be out the door by 7:30.
I still manged to stay within my caloric range and consumed 1731 calories.
Macronutrient breakdown-42/35/23
I am aiming for 40/30/30
Clearly I need to work on this.
Now I have to go pack my food for tomorrow.
