Day 15 of ChaLEAN Extreme

YAY I have made it to week 3 of ChaLEAN Extreme, without getting sick, woohoo. I know sad but hey I will take what I can get. I haven't lost any weight or inches, but I haven't been watching what I eat either, I really need to do that, so starting this week I am focusing less on the workout (still doing it though) and more on eating right, because you cannot do one without the other and get results. My goal is to lose 10 pounds in April, I know I can and WILL do it (the more the merrier of course). I have really been struggling lately with my weight, I keep gaining, and I am not eating horrible, I still eat decent, no junk foods, sodas, etc. but for some reason I am gaining, it is really stressful, I have a lot of emotional things going on, and my husband is being amazing and so supportive, I know I can do this.

My first week back YAY

So I did my third workout for the week this morning, man it was a sweaty but great workout. I feel sooo good after my workouts. I was messing around with my husband and apparently flexed my arms, he was amazed (now if the bottom half of my upper arms would just disappear I would be happy, these bingo wings are really nasty). I can't wait for tomorrow. Hope you are all getting your workouts in and pressing play on something, or going to the gym, taking a nice walk on the beach, or around the park. Anything is better then nothing, and as a friend reminded me today, its NEVER TO LATE to start working out!! Keep Pushing!!

Being sick stinks

So I am back to not working out, I am pretty sick, bronchitis, and don't have much energy at all. So I have had to stop working out, which really upsets me because I feel like I have gained about 20 pounds this week. I know I haven't but still. I will be starting ChaLEAN Extreme over again, mainly because I was only on week 2 and because all my progress is gone from being sick, so I am going to go even harder when I start up again, which will hopefully be in a few days!! I got this, and I know I can do it, I am going to have that sexy dress by next year, and wear that cute bikini if it kills me :P Eat Healthy and stay active everyone!!

Doing Great

I know its been a few days, but I have been busy with school, the kids, and my cranky teething daughter. Workouts are still going and I love it. I didn't think I would ever want to workout again, but man they feel great. My husband is excited too, he says once I start running he will have a running partner which he is excited about (not sure how I feel about that yet, he runs like 5 plus miles a day lol). But for now ChaLEAN Extreme is my workout and I LOVE IT, I haven't lost any weight (I have gained a few pounds which is really frustrating) but I know I am toning at least underneath all this fat!! I have a long way to go, but I can't wait to finally look the way I want!! LETS DO IT!!

Day 6 ChaLEAN Extreme

Wow finished up day 6 today, I get a rest day tomorrow. I am so loving this workout, my body is so sore, which makes me very happy. That means I am doing it right and getting a good workout YAY!! On a very happy note, I went shopping yesterday. A small history lesson, in 2010 (beginning ) or late 2009 I went to a store and had to buy some sweat pants/workout pants (yeah I didn't workout though). I bought a size 26W-28W. I have been swimming in those for the past few months, and decided it was time to get some better fitting pants. So I went to Walmart. Now for those who shop there, their clothes are sometimes a little small so I always expect to buy at least a size bigger then I normally am. I am happy to say that yesterday I bought pants that where a size 16-18. No W in that one. It feels so good. I know I still have a long way to go, but that was the boost I was really needing, now I need to get my but in gear and starting adding a healthy diet to my already very healthy exercise plan. I can do this and so can you!! As Chalene would say LETS GET EXTREME!!!

ChaLEAN Extreme Day 1

What a great workout, nothing like lifting weights to get you motivated right. I am really looking forward to this workout, I have tomorrow off (this is the way the schedule is set up) But I start my strict healthy eating tomorrow (why not today you ask) well that's simple, I have to go grocery shopping to get the food. I am so excited about this workout, and healthy eating, still get to eat yummy food but in smaller portions, this family is going green (in a sense lol). Next stop Circuit burn 2 woot woot!! Have a great day everyone!!

I am back

I know it has been awhile since I posted. I am sorry some unexpected things have happened (had a few meltdowns) in the past couple of weeks that have made me rethink what I am and am not doing. First let me start off with I got to day 30 of Insanity and just wasn't into it anymore. I wanted to work out but Insanity was getting so hard I could only do a third to a half of the workouts, and modifying most of the workout was just getting boring. So after some careful looking, I have decided to stop Insanity and not finish it up. I know some may say I am a quitter, but when you get to a point where you just aren't in it anymore, pushing yourself to do it, won't help you it just makes the workouts pointless. I am there with Insanity. So now I am going to start up on Saturday ChaLEAN Extreme. I am super excited about it. I got Turbo Fires Greatest HIIT's and did that this morning, let me tell you I am so energized and excited about my workouts I LOVE Chalene, she is so excited about the workouts, the music is so much fun, who doesn't feel good with some fun music playing while working out. I can't wait to start. I am not giving up on my weight loss, I am just revamping how I am doing it. I have been under a lot of stress, and have had some personal issues lately that coupled with not eating right or exercising and I gained a lot of weight (amazing how it takes no time to gain but forever to lose it right). So I am back to my lose 100 pound goal, which frustrates me and gets me excited all at the same time. I KNOW that I can do this, and I know that I WILL do this. I talked to a friend recently and we have decided to set a goal for a marathon (a short marathon of course) to run in 2014, then a nice SPA day afterwards, so I have this year to lose my weight and next year to train for the marathon, I am actually excited about this goal. Ok ya'll its time to get our butts in gear and get moving, I will do better and keeping everyone posted on how I am doing. and my weight loss. I have this and if I can do it you can to!!
