Diving right in!

Hi all. I've been lurking for a week or so- and decided to start my own log. You guys are much more supportive (and nicer) than those I have seen on some other boards!

As of Monday (march 31) I started with the NROL4W program. I'm not new to lifting by any means, having started seriously about 10 years ago. I do, however, have a bit of excess me to get rid of!

So... the beginning stats:

5'2"
157 lbs
36 years old
30% bf

I'd like to drop some lbs., but I really don't care what the number on the scale says- as long as I can drop it to 20-25%bf I'll be happy. I've been working with a trainer for about the last 3 months, and have already lost some inches. A clothing size would be nice, too

.

Workout 1 went very well for me, and I did some HIIT today. Cardio is traditionally my downfall- as I hate, hate, hate it.

I'm tracking my food on Fitday- and eating a whole lot more. Until last week I had been doing Weight Watchers- but I was clearly not eating enough! I'm shooting for the 40/30/30 macros, and doing fairly well, except for fat. My fat intake is usually on the low side.

Thanks for stopping in! I;m looking forward to getting to know you

it's a carefully crafted charade - we'll kick your butt if you turn out to be a slacker - no pat-on-the-back-here's-a-cookie here

welcome

Well, this morning was day 2! I really like this program, with the exception of the lunges. Not that I mind lunges, mind you, I just think my form is better with a walking lunge!

My legs hurt (well, specifically my butt) from Monday.... waaaaa

Week one down, 3x lifting this week. I'm a little sore (legs) but generally feeling good. Really glad it is the weekend- so I can sleep later than 5 frickin 30!!!

Where do you dive?

I'm down 2.5lbs as of today- WOOT!

I dive all over the place- mostly in Florida.

Congrats on the weight loss.

I got my certification last year, and on my first dive without the instructors, my dh was spearfishing off Venice Beach, I was sightseeing, dd was checking out some culverts and suddenly, we were circled by 3 sharks, one a large bull.

I didn't do a safety stop, and haven't put on a wetsuit since!
