    Well !!!
    Body Beast.
    Wow.
    I can't believe I actually am at that level. Like seriously.
    Ok so some of you have asked to hear my thoughts about it so here they are after only 2 workouts done.
    Love it.
    lol
    Yup
    Of course it's hard, but not harder than H&C, just different. Different in the sense that Body Beast is a program that concentrates on daily muscle combination rather than full body workouts. I've only ever done full body workouts (Chalean Extreme, PIyo and H&C) SO the point is to activate more of the entire muscle by working it out different ways, so it hits all the regions of that chosen muscle. Definitely attain muscle fatigue and THAT'S where the candy is !
    So ladies, it's a go !
    Body Beast is a go ! lol

    Oh and !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How come nobody ever told me Sean the Bachelor is the "modifier dude" for the first workout (at least) lol Sean !!!! WTF ?!??! Anyway, that cracked me up. Especially that I could do almost the same weight as him !!!! Almost.... ;)

    So BB is the plan for me for another 2 weeks exactly til vacation and then I think it will be the program I choose to start again when I return on April 1st, following the full 90 day Lean Program from the start. Yup, that's now that plan.

    Anybody feel like joining ?
    :mrgreen:

    Im in! I absolutely love hammer and chisel and would continue but I think changing it up might be fun. Especially if we do it together. I have a couple more days of H/C then I will start checking the workouts out until you get back from vacay.

    Alright ladies ! (Scotty ? You here buddy ? )

    I was thinking...
    How about a name change ?
    Do we want to still be the Melting Beachbodies or can we together come up with a better suited name for our group ?

    Let's brainstorm...

    Hey ladies, i switched up things this week, so im no longer going to be doing p90x. Me and a friend decided to do this science based six pack program by Thomas delauer for the next couple months so I guess this is goodbye :'(:'(:'( I will still be in the other group though. Yall should check out Thomas delauers YouTube channel though, he has great videos that will help you in your journey

    Scotty - So sorry to see you go, but really happy that you found a program that you like! Will see you on the main group page!

    Krystina - If you would like to reconstitute the group, and with Scotty leaving, let me know if it makes sense for my to continue with this group. I do not want my running to be a distraction from everyone’s beach body program goals!

    Maybe it is the weight loss, maybe building endurance & maybe cause spring is coming, but my runs are feeling better & better! Tonight, am travelling solo to San Francisco for a week to visit with a very dear girlfriend. Other than business trips & a few weekends with my husband, this is my first solo trip since becoming a mom (about 12 years)! Yes, we are going to Napa & also ending the trip with gala evening for my friend’s charity. Have packed an LBD that fits again! So this is where I will sacrifice a few runs. The forecast in SF is a lot of rain midweek, which is West coast rain that never lets up. So, my plan is 3 runs (9 km, 4 km, 3 km) & will have some beautiful locations for it! As for weight loss, I will keep up the diary & play it by ear. Will post my run plan Sunday or Monday when I get a better sense of the weather.

    Krystina - I am up for any name with the word fierce in it! In terms of a theme, maybe along the lines of what you have written about your life being the journey & how this is not temporary, but an overall change in living, lifestyle etc. Having been a serial fluctuator, I want this to be the last time that I have to lose this amount of weight, & am dedicating my energy to the people & things that I love, making this journey & maintenance (when I get there) my way of life. I don’t have a name for it, but there is the idea.

    Have a great weekend!

    Hmmmmm....

    I think a name change is a great idea. What direction should we go? Will we stay Beachbody based with an open door policy to others who are simply committed to consistent workouts?

    Beachbody and Beyond? Commit To Be Fit? Can’t think of anything. Any suggestions?

    Ok i have been lazy this week. Ive only done a few yoga days and a walk. I start week 5 of h&c today with total body chisel. I think i will do 5 days instead of 6 though and add in a yoga or stretch x day.

    My husband wants to do body beast next also. He actually wanted to do it first but i convinced him to do this one instead.

    I love the beachbody and beyond name idea. Im horrible at coming up with names myself.

    I love San Francisco ! I was there in 2012 for 4 days on a lovers trip and it was fabulous.

    The new name idea is pretty challenging... I love the ideas you are bringing... it is true, it's us.
    Gotta figure this out...

    LOVE THE NEW NAME! PERFECT!

    I finished up my 5 day workout plan for the week yesterday with a relaxing yoga session. I am off today and plan to start a Week of Hard Labor with Sagi on Monday. I figure I will break up the week into 2 and throw in some other workouts.

    I can’t believe I actually completed the 60 day H & C calendar and after my last workout I was nearly brought to tears. I have come so far and I am so proud of myself. Thank you all for sharing your amazing progress. It has pushed me to keep going and has kept me accountable. You guys ROCK!

    Last week:
    • Monday morning: Build - Chest/Tris + 30mins Treadmill Netflix
    • Tuesday afternoon: Build - Legs + 60mins Treadmill Netflix
    • Wednesday after work: Build - Back/Bis +30mins Treadmill Netflix
    • Thursday after work: Beast Cardio + Beast Abs (nope, will do them Saturday)
    • Friday after work : Build - Shoulders + 30mins Treadmill Netflix
    • Saturday : Rest (Build- Abs from Thursday) oops it seems I forgot to do abs
    • Sunday morning: Build - Chest/Tris + 60mins Treadmill Netfilx

    This week:
    • Monday after work: Build Legs
    • Tuesday morning: Build Back/Bis
    • Wednesday morning: Beast Cardio + Beast Abs
    • Thursday morning: Build Shoulders
    • Friday after work: Build Chest and Tris
    • Saturday: Rest
    • Sunday Morning: Build Legs

    Well, one week done of Body Beast and did I mention ? Yes, I really really do like it !
    Like I was telling Bianca, I feel like one of the boys. One that can hang with the grown-ups at the gym you know ? And I hold my own too ! It's just amazing what "one friggen day at a time" can do. It truly makes me fell that I can do anything I set my mind to.
    I mean come on. Seriously. My weight and my relationship with food IS the biggest challenge in my life. IT has affected my life in every aspect. Always has been my thing. Everybody has a thing, that is mine. Forever. ANd I am, one day at a time, bit by bit, every single day, chipping away at it, at that big giant ball of metal pain (is all I can come up with to illustrate). And it's working ?!!! Me !!! This is me !?!?! I keep thinking, like all the time, WHO IS THIS GIRL ?? *kitten*. It blows my mind. Truly. If I can conquer THIS, damn, I can do anything.
    I turned 45 last week and I am undoubtedly in the best physical shape, head space, spiritually, and in my heart, that I have ever been. Ever. I feel whole.

    Bring it on life.
    I am in it for the ride !

    (wow did I jsut write all this ? therapy....... )
