bump... gotta get this written down to try later!!! thanks too for sharing it :) J

Ugh.... I gained, it seems, overnite!!!! IDK why, which is frustrating as heck! Current weight is 180 Crabby J

Uugh... my downfall has been ice-cream. I love, love,love ice-cream in the evenings since my internal furnace has changed so dramatically over the past couple years. My solution this month has been to just NOT buy it & bring it home...i.e. if it is not in the frig & easily accessible, then I don't eat it. I still CRAVE it,…

THIS.... non-communicators, or offensive posts & they are gone. time is too short to put up with this...imho

I have finished Stage 1 this week! YEAH! I'm not going to do the final AMRAP workouts because I'm scheduled to have Euflexxa injected into my knee joint next week. Instead of 1 week off, I think it'll be three weeks off. So, do I start over with stage 1 or should I start stage 2 in 3 weeks? what to do, what to do? I am…

178.0 no loss, but no gain either... it will all work out over time... :) J

There ya go... ya just answered your own question. First mare is OBVIOUSLY NOT A KID-SAFE HORSE! Give her back, with LOTS of "thank-you for letting us borrow her" comments. Keep your friendship intact, & be honest, but tactful. THEN, after 1st mare is safely back to her original owner, THEN follow-up with a thank-you card…

I only have dumbbells. No access to machines or barbells yet. For Workout A see pg 162 for Dumbbell single overhead squats, and then pg 204 for Dumbbell Bent over Rows. For workout B see pg 170 for Dumbbell single leg roman deadlifts, and pg 201 for Pullovers. I think you can still do just fine using dumbbells in lieu of…

I'm at Stage 1. workout B7 today 4/13/12 Caloric intake 1600-1800 Lift 3x a week, mon, weds, fri Pilates or horse-riding on tues, thurs Inches lost - 8.75 so far. I am in shock that I can eat more & still lose. It's working, it's working!!! Read the book, & reread the food section every couple days for meal ideas.

4/9 weigh in - 178 - which is a slight gain! However... I just took my measurements...omg! 8.75 inches GONE! !!!!! I knew I was feeling better & my body feels slimmer, but had no idea! Am very impressed with what weight-lifting has done for my body! :) J

Great List! Thanks for the motivations!!!

I love the smell of freshly cleaned leather. Those old western saddles with the dark oil leather carvings & silver laced cantles were such a chore to clean, but so attractive to the eye & satisfying when you got them all done. Then, to open your barn tack-room door & have the smell of all that freshly cleaned leather is…

Try Lubrisyn Hu : http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=b218e791-5479-4f1a-b5d2-8e1353c0e393&gas=lubrisyn%20hu It is the same product as we use for our horses, but is formulated for people. Synthovial 7 is another good product for people:…

NROLFW stage 1 workout B5 - used seesaw with BALL for 2nd round of single leg roman deadlifts - seems to help with stabilization on my left leg...still difficult to balance for me. Lunges are getting better - slow, alternating legs, can almost do them - feels like my leg is rounding inwards from hip to toe on forward leg…

3/26 start Weight -178.4 4/2 todays weight - 177.4

Ugh... just took my 1st of the month body shots for April... not much improvement from the previous months. Maybe by the end of the year I will be able to see real differences... I hope! :) J

Remember Chicken, Alaska" (said in the tone of voice of "Remember the Alamo") :) J

If it's Warm Weather - I've gone out to RIDE.... (I try not to spend alot of time online until evenings after dinner hour.) :) J

o.k. I just pondered some of this myself in my recent blog....... Info about TDEE & how much I SHOULD be eating This Info is from a post by sniperzzzz: "An easy way that i use is go to the site bellow. Get an estimate of your bodyfat,make a note of it . http://www.freedieting.com/tools/body_fat_calculator.htm Then go to…

bump I like to see other people's websites for good recipes too. I am not a cook, but I figure anyone who can read a cookbook can cook, right? So, please, keep listing these good websites for recipes for the lacks-cooking-skills bodies, like me! Thanks :) J

THAT IS AWESOME!!!!! ( Isn't it FUN to kinda blow people away with stuff, at least every once in a while)

NROLFW stage 1 workout B3 DONE this afternoon - able to increase weights on upperbody to 16# (2 8# dumbbells).... guess I need heavier dumbbells soon, huh. Better stability in my Lunges today - just figured out that it is supposed to be alternating legs. I think this program has helped me already - was able to walk UP a…

bump to read later... good info in here!

I take mine on the first of the months.... but, hell no...I'm not posting them! :)

I'm in... Mondays are my weigh-in day for me already 3/26/12 - 178.4 Need some motivation! :)

I completed Stage 1 Workout B2 yesterday. I got a set of 8# dumbbells & an exercise ball to add to my "home living room gym" . Found I couldn't even lift the higher weighted dumbbells off the shelf at the store...so, I will make do with the 8#, 5#, 3# dumbbells that I have, for now. Don't laugh at me.. but I got up at the…

What a great idea... and simple too. How come I've never heard of this idea before? Well, Thank You very much for sharing an Excellent Tip to us all! :) J

NROLFW - Stage 1 Workout B - 1st time. Had a hard time with the deadlift - dumbbell single leg variety cuz I'm not stable on single leg...but got them done. Had MAJOR difficulty with the Lunges - my knees both crunch & I have limited ROM, so used a chair to balance & no weights. No problems with anything using upper body -…

Hi There Brand new to NROLFW. Read the book over the last few days & am processing as much as my little brain can handle! :) Day 1 (A) of NROLFW - only took about 20 minutes to do today - almost seems "trite"? I am using 3# & 5# dumbbells to start, cuz that is what I have. Step-ups Lunge were difficult. Could not balance…
