Thinking of making a change

And isn't that one thing Lou & Alwyn advise against? Whatever. My goal is to lose fat, if I gain strength doing that, so be it. Strength is not my goal. Nor is building. Not right now.

So I've been toying with going to NROL-Original (henceforth known as NROL-O). Why? This is really silly of me but it's because I'm kind of irritated with Alwyn. He co-wrote this fabulous book telling women that their workouts would be "harder" than a man's. Well, when it comes right down to it, the workouts are difficult but in Stage 2B he has us doing 4, yes FOUR, core exercises--2 strictly working the abs. Didn't he write in NROL-O that you don't need to do that kind of shit?

I know he was writing for a certain market--women that are afraid of weights. I'm not that woman.

Marie, if you are serious about doing a rotation together, I'm in. When I get back from my vacation. Since, you haven't worked with weights in a while you I do think (& Wendy or Laura will correct me if I'm wrong) that a break-in period is a good idea.

The reason I suggest waiting until I get home is because I'll be away from a computer next week & I'm not sure how equipped the "fitness center" is going to be. It has been stripped down some years that we've been up there.

If you want to do this, we can start NROL-O on the 19th. That gives you almost a 2 week "break-in" & prepare for doing the next rotation.

I have the Fat Loss I & II in a spreadsheet that I got from Maggie Wang. There are some "bugs" in her sheets, so I've taken her basics & put them in my own sheets. So you won't need to buy the book right away. Let me know if you need/want them.

OH OH OH I finally managed to eat "meals" today. I wasn't hungry in between! How 'bout that???

I have not weighed for 2 days. I did put on a pair of pants that have been tight & I think they felt better. We'll see.

I'm going to the produce stand tomorrow for my vegetables for my trip. I'm going to spend the day slicing & dicing so I don't have to take all of my "tools" with me. I am not going to cave in to my mother's bad habits & influence.

I'm waffling on getting A piece of Cheesecake Factory cake to take with me. I've been so good for 3 weeks. I think I'm seeing changes. I don't want to blow it but my mom's birthday was last Friday. I want to celebrate with her. Sigh. Decisions. What do I want more? Cake or thin? Why can't I have both? LOL

Okay, almost time to go workout. NROL4W 2A (WO 3).
