Losing weight has been filled with ups and downs - both emotionally and on the scale. However, managing to lose weight and continuing to grow stronger, faster, leaner, and fitter has been an amazing experience. I've discovered many things about myself, and this blog has helped me keep record of those moments. I still have a long way to go, but I'm moving forward with a positive attitude as I attempt to keep Workin' it Out.

Moving Forward with NROL4W
I'm really pleased with my today's weights workout. Perhaps taking an entire day off to rest between workouts - even my mild cardio days - is paying off!
Comparison chart:
I all my weights ... I know that doubling the weight for the squats and lunges was a risk, but I felt absolutely fine. The toughest part was just getting the bar on my back for the lunges.
I'm still making a few modifications - like for the step up, but ... this time I was able to do proper push-ups --- not as deep as before, but still, they were proper push-ups! I also did regular planks, though in 30-second stretches. I'm still not up to the entire minute yet ... maybe by next time? Who knows? I'm still not using the cable for the horizontal wood chops, but I think I'm definitely ready for them for the next round of workouts.
I'm really pleased! I can't wait for Workout B!! :)

You're making awesome progress! I really need to look into the NROL4W - I have been adding some weight training for about 6 months now, but nothing really structured. This may help.
