Maybe the shake or a banana. I run once or twice a week in the morning and I always eat a banana first.0

ouch! glad you're healing.
This is my 3rd week for Push (upcoming). I can't believe how fast it seems to go!0 -
Hi Girls,
Looks like everyone is doing wonderful. So glad to have a place to check in with a group. I finished BC last week and am excited to start the Push Month with the heavier weights this week.
I along with a few of you really need to work on my diet. I have been logging and will have a really great week then I overdue it on the weekends. So my goal this month have a better stricter eating plan. I too have not weighed in since I started. But I probably should since I am in my 2nd month. It is nice to see so many runners. I too love to be outside.
I like Turbofire also and I too have a a very hard time Learning, It took me a good month before I felt coordinated to make it through the workouts. This may sound silly but because I am so uncoordinated I only do 2 different workouts Fire 30 for the Drills and Fire 45EZ. Oh and HIIT 15 which is pretty easy to learn. This has really helped me and now I love to do it with the amped up music. Billie in my opinion Turbofire does a Awesome Job whittling your waist. When I was doing it on a regular basis my husband commented on my waist and said whatever your doing it is working. I was doing TF about 4 days a week then. Now I am motivated to start adding TF again.
What kind of results is everyone seeing? Results are really what keeps us motivated. Dee0 -

My birthday is over, mother's day is over, I told my husband I am not inviting anyone over this weekend and I want to just chill.
Hopefully this will get me back into the swing.
I also like the TF HIIT 15. By the time you realize how tired you are you're halfway done and what's 7 more minutes????
Is anyone looking to see what program they might do next?0 -
OK did I say I was excited to start the Push month?? Just Finished PC1 and I forgot how tough this workout is. I was shaking and I was cussing Chalene out. lol! I also did fire 30 and I was wooped by the end. :sad:
Pipsg1rl's that sounds like a plan. We need to get back into the swing of things. We can do this all together.
I will probably be doing another round of CLX after this round. I would love to hear what others have planned.0 -
Ugh...So I came into this week strong and focused on staying in my calorie limit. I weigh myself daily so I can note my trends. Midweek, I was down 1.8 lbs. Throw in Mother's Day dinner we decided to do on Thursday, then another dinner out, and then Chinese take out...my loss was 0.6. Still a loss but it could have been better. We had a birthday party today for my son, so yet another bad day. The only good thing beside no gain is I have gotten all my workouts in and have been on my feet almost all day most of the week prepping for the party and getting ready for vacation Wednesday. I am going to do Push 2 for my third week tomorrow and pick up with Push 3 Week 3 when I get back next Wednesday. I am going to finish Push before I leave again for California the following week. I am going to try not of over do it in Hawaii and California but I am already telling myself I am all in when I am home between those trips and for the Lean phase. I am working on figuring out some meal options to get my protein up and stay within my calories.
I am debating between doing another round of Body Revolution or another round of ChaLEAN after Lean for Life. I feel like I did not give this program enough of my "all" to even judge it at this point so another round is definitely in my future but I am thinking maybe BR would help me lose some weight while I work on the diet I need for success in ChaLEAN. I will probably wait in how successful I am at getting my macros in check in Lean and Lean for Life.0 -
Oh my, I started lean today, in thought I was not going to make it through it! I feel sore even tonight....she seems to move really fast on this one & I miss Skip
.Mondays can ge a hard start anyway so maybe it will get easier.
I wish I was doing better on my eating choices too. Today went good but the last month I have had way to many cheats.
Dee - awesome on starting push, if it helps I did not like push 1 as much as push 2 & 3... something about 1 I struggled with. You will be amazed at how strong you get.. I actually have a strong bicep now.
Lessthankris - do the best u can when you are on vacation but enjoy! I mean how often do u get to Hawaii? Do what feels right for u but remember this is for the long haul & you have to have a balance to stay with it for the rest of your life.:drinker:
pips- I am not sure what I will do next but want to stay on a lifting program, does anyone know of any other good ones? I may even repeat this 90 day cycle.....they did not build Rome overnight & I have a long way to go. If I do repeat I don't think I will use the same cardio workout, I need a change on thosr for sure.0 -

Yea I know I want to enjoy it, I just do not want to go overboard which I have a tendency to do. I am not going to not have something I want, I just do not need to eat so much of it.
A lot of people on the ChaLEAN facebook page are doing Body Beast now. I think it needs more equipment and it seems intense but you may want to check it out. It is another Beach Body program.0 -
I still have 5 Push workouts and then Lean, but I was thinking that I like doing the workouts in the gym so much that maybe I could take a chance on doing P90X the same way.
I have been tracking my weights and it clearly lists the exercises and in what order, so I don't think it would be a problem--
the only thing I remember NOT liking about P90X was that the workouts were longer time wise. I'm not sure if cutting out all of the Tony Horton Chit Chat would allow me to move from one item to the next.
The first time I did CHX I followed with Brazil Butt Lift (BBL). BBL doesn't use heavy weights, but he does a zillion reps with light weights. You think "OMG?! He doesn't want us to use more than 10 lbs..." but I promise you it's like when you do Burn It Off or the other one where Chalene makes you do like a zillion light weight reps and you want to cry.
I did think it worked well and did notice some butt lifting-ness. The exercises make you not able to walk for like... ever. It's a 60 day program.
Oooo.. just saw you can get the program download sheets for Body Beast too. I've been wanting to do that forevvverrrr!0 -
Thanks for the advice on some new workouts that helps alot! I think it is good we are all thinking about what we will do next so we stay on a routine and have a plan. I think that has been one of the most postive things for me on the CLX is to have my calender on my refridgerator and you know exactly when and what you are doing each day. There becomes no excuses :noway: :noway:
I have a rest day today and really needed it. I am really sore in the sides of my torso today, have not had that soreness until now. I am not even sure what exercise did it but she defintely hit a new area. I WILL walk at lunch, I am trying to get myself back on a lunch walk routine so today I committ.0 -

Did you do any overhead presses or the exercise where you lean side to side? Those are rib killers!0 -
Hi everyone so today was a day off. Tommorow will be PC2 + some cardio. I was thinking TF HIIT 15. I haven't done a HIIT for a while and really need to add these back into my workout. Like pipsgirl said it goes by fast.
-Kris Hoping that you have a wonderful vacation.
-Ruby Good job on starting the Lean Phase. Lean is a tough phase. Hope your soreness is better. At least you know that you got a good workout.
-Pipsg1rl with P90x you should get great results. I agree with you that the workouts are too long and I remember lots of pull ups and dont have a decent pull up bar. Anyway you have time to think about. I have also wanted to try BBL. I need the lower body workout. How long are the BBL workouts? Are they fun?
Hoping everyone else is enjoying the workouts. Dee0 -

I don't remember exactly, but I think they are in the less than 1 hour range, probably average 35-35m. You will be doing some light weight upper body but if you have the kit they come with bands and weights. That stuff looks so harmless... OMG.0 -
Hey, just checking in. Burn Week 2.
Week 1 took about a week and a half as my 3-year-old and I have been ill and I'm averaging 5 hours of sleep a night, oh yeah, and I was intensely sore!
Not so sore this week AND I wacked up the weights too. It started as an accident when I misread what I'd lifted last time I'd done this circuit and what d'ya know, I still managed 10-12 reps so I'm now setting them up with one plate more than I THINK I can lift!0 -

Yuck, sorry you were sick, glad to hear you're recovering.
And what a funny push to misread and then lift heavier! I'm in Push and I'm moving weight I had no idea I could. I'm in a place now where guys look upset if I'm using the 20/25's. Before I didn't have to share. My goal is to use the 30's before I go to Lean.
I'll probably have to drop weight for Lean since the combo moves are In.Sane!
Nice to see you back

Kiekie- that happened to me when I started burn, I got sick & take a week off. Good job for getting back on track. This is not a program to do if you are really ill.
I did lean 2 today & it went good, better than Monday on lean 1. Monday was so painful I almost did not want to put the DVD in again LOL. I think I figured out mt torso soreness, I started playing catch with my son for baseball practice! It is from throwing the freakin ball so many times... We went to play last night & as soon as I went to throw I went ohhhh.
way to stay strong team!!! Keep up the good work.0 -

I have no expectations of it being a get fit quick routine. And definitely want to keep going after workout 1! I've been working out since Sept 2013, mostly jogging and Jillian Michaels. After 1 workout, my boobs (okay, pecs) actually hurt! Looking forward to pushing it with heavier weights. I have a small set of dumbbells, and wanted something less cardio-focused than JM, but not sure I want to start a program like strong lifts or nrol yet. I was as drenched in sweat from CE workout 1 as any Jillian DVD!! And the only jumping around was in the warmup, lol.0 -

I'm glad to hear that. You'll notice a lot of people become discouraged when they feel that nothing is happening.
I've never done any JM but I've heard it's intense.0 -
Pipsgirl Great Job on the weight Loss! You are doing Awesome Keep it up!
Hope everyone else is doing good.
For me today was second week of PC1. Found it to be much easier than last week. Going to go for a run tonight. Need to release some stress!0 -

I am back! Hawaii was awesome although I am a little disappointed that I missed logging in a day have to start my streak all over again :O(. We did do two hikes, one easy and one moderate and I was with my kids so it was not a relaxing vacation. Lots of rice and fries so I ate horribly most days. Getting back on track starting tomorrow.
Picking up Push 3 tomorrow to complete my third week. I am going to go straight through next Wednesday to finish up Push before we leave for one more trip. When I come back from there I get to start Lean, which I am excited about.
Glad to see everyone still going at it! The program is flying by for me. I will be happy when my trips are over though so I can focus on getting some results without the week long distractions.0 -

Isn't there a vacation setting? I've heard about it. Maybe check the forums for help.
Also, yes! A few of us are in the Push Phase, but this is my last week - only P2 and P3 remain.
You're doing great. Hope you didn't feel to guilty enjoying yourself in Hawaii 0 -
What do you guys do if you miss a day? I have my lifting days as Sat/Mon/Wed, this weekend we'll be going camping and I won't be able to do the program Saturday. Should I do it Sunday and then BC2 on Monday? Or push all my workouts back a day then skip Friday's rest day? Is it important with this program to have that rest day in between lifting days?0

It depends on you.
I don't think missing one rest day is that bad. Are you OCD about schedule?
I do M/W/F. If I miss a circuit day then I just move it to the next lifting day. So if I miss Push1 on Monday then I do it on Tuesday. It winds up working out in the end.0 -

Okay, thanks! I wasn't sure if it was absolutely necessary to have that rest day inbetween lifting days. I set my schedule so my rest days would fall on fri/sun (my hubby works 4-10s and gets f/sat/sun off so we usually end up being more active during the day.... which means I end up working out later in the day. (bleh!)
Just finished burn circuit 3! My butt is a lil sore, lol.0
