    If it were me, I'd probably lift on Tuesday. I would be really tired about halfway through the day, and I get pretty cranky when I'm tired. :)

    I agree with Jessica. You had your "life got in the way unscheduled break" so you can jump right into stage 5, imho.

    Sam, last week was my uncontrollable hormonal time. Hard to get back on track this time around. Thank goodness, it comes around once a month , right?

    Don't beat yourself up. Do some power walking tomorrow on your trip.

    Will do! Hubby went out for a recovery ride, so no workout for me until tomorrow. He did an enduro yesterday so he needs it more.

    Okay, so after I had my temper tantrum over my weight gain, I took a comparison picture and I feel *a little* better. The first picture was around the end of stage 1. The second picture was Friday after a week of Stage 3 (about a month or so apart). I can tell some difference. Love handles not so wide and the fat on top of my belly is shrinking.

    ETA - this is with a GAIN in weight (I think. Not sure what I weighed exactly in the first). Current weight about 182...

    cpa - great job on the fat loss!!!

    jhn - holy crap I only wish I looked that good!!! You look fantastic!

    Sue - hope you're test results will be OK and you don't have to have surgery. I had endrometrial ablation done last October and it was the best thing ever!!!! No more periods, crampings, bloating etc. Don't really even get as many cravings even though I still have all the hormones.

    Beeps - sorry about the injury!!! I bet you'll be able to do that pull up when you try it. I am SSSOOOOO doing Stage 6 so I can do a pullup!

    Back from vacation finally - had a great time and changed my avatar so you can see all my boys. Starting Stage 4 today - was too tired to get up this morning, so will try to get it all done at my gym at work over lunch. The only issue will be the FSPP since they don't have barbells, but I figure I'll do what I can with dumbbells. Gained a few lbs over vacation, but most of it is probably water retention since I didn't do so well drinking water all week. Hopefully I can get that back down by the end of this week.

    Awe, thanks everybody. I do have to say I'm interested to see what 15 or so more weeks will do. I think 15 more weeks of staying on track with my diet will be more of an accomplishment that sticking to NR's!

    JNH- you've given us all hope! I can really see it in your thighs/mid section.

    I'm done with stage 5, on to stage 7 soon. Will come back to 6.

    Tested my new 15kg plates tonight my first regular back squat since stage 1, it felt like i was going way below paralell, but my trusty 'assistant' tells me I was only just :ohwell:
