I finished up NROLFW last week!!! So exciting because this is the first program I've ever actually stuck to until completion. I'm super proud of myself, but disappointed that I didn't have amazing...
After finishing up NROLFW last week, I figured it'd be a good idea to start a fresh new journal on here especially since I filled up my old paper training notebook and started a new one today. After...
These past couple weeks I've noticed that even with the high volume workouts I'm doing, I don't burn as many calories as I burned while bulking. Makes perfect sense, the more you eat, the more you...
Wow, I had such an intense workout this morning! It looked so easy on paper, but damn, high volume workouts are no joke! I started Stage 7 of New Rules of Lifting for Women. I'm skipping Stage 6...
I just finished up stage 5 and I think I'm going to skip the optional stage 6. I'm getting bored of the program and just want to finish it asap. For those who went ahead and did stage 6, do you think...
On Saturday, I finally ended my break from the gym. I could only handle 5 days off haha. I resumed Stage 5 of NROLFW. I'm glad I'm not losing strength even though I'm eating at a deficit now :)
I've gone through 3 boxes of tissues in the last 3 days! I'm so congested and had the worst sore throat so I took that as a sign that it's about time for a little break from the gym. My last break...
I've been slacking on the journaling!! I started to cut, I'm down to around 1700 calories a day, still carb cycling. I thought it was going to be horrible to cut and still try to lift heavy, but it...
I'm one workout away from Stage 5! I'm proud of myself because this is the first workout program I've been consistent with! Unfortunately, I'm a little frustrated with myself because I had such...
I hate packed gyms!! I hate waiting for the squat rack and for benches to open up! Everyone throws the dumbbells anywhere so then I have to walk all over the weight area just to find a pair of...
It’s been 3 days since I started with the carb cycling and it’s going pretty well. Today was a little rough because the timing of my meals is always off during the weekend, but I still did pretty...
For the past few of months, I've been trying to "bulk," but it really started to get me down because I felt like I was only worsening my problem area, my stomach. This is my fault because my diet was...
I am so damn sore!! I can barely move! And I sorta love it haha. Stage 4 is being good to me so far, I feel like I'm putting in pretty good workouts. This was from yesterday:
Even though I wasn't particularly fond of the workouts in Stage 2, I was a little excited to see them being repeated in Stage 4 mostly because I had gotten bored with Stage 3. To make the workouts...
