    Sorry I've been MIA... taking a break from MFP (really sick and obsessive).
    I am in my last month of ChaLEAN, it's been good...

    BRILE - I'm so glad to hear from you. We've missed you, so happy you dropped a few lines to say hi. Good to know you're still doing CX:bigsmile:

    I know what you mean about the calorie thing, I gave that up a while back. I just try to be healthy, do my workouts, be happy and enjoy life.

    Good afternoon! I did my last Burn 1 last night, and need to try to fit in Burn Intervals tonight. Watched Push 1 last night to see what I was in for and I have to say it doesn't look too hard (famous last words?:laugh: ) and Lean looks scary to me, but I'm looking forward to it.

    Thanks for the reply's all. I started doing the circuits in the morning. It works great for me. It leaves my afternoon for turbo kick or running(training for a 5k):happy:

    Glad to see everyone is doing well.

    Oh...has everyone been shrinking in strange places? My chest went down 1 inch. Waist and hips are the same and my thighs went down 1 inch. My neck down 1/2 inch. Anyone think that's weird?

    Burn Circuit 2 for me today after hill training with about 5 K run. Still liking Burn and found myself amazed that I'm almost through week 3:drinker:

    Nurse: I have given up trying to figure out the inches lost areas. It seems like the more I want inches gone from an area the more likely they will remain and if I'm happy with the inches I have somewhere else I'll sure lose from there. Ce La Vie

    Checking in with Lean #3...whew, those pushups kill me! I really like the Lean circuit overall the best though. It's nice to do compound exercises and work upper and lower body at the same time! Can't wait for week #2!

    Yeah baby, did push 3 this morning, full of energy today. :happy: I do turbo jam with my daughter tonight along with some ab work out.

    Duffy - These workouts have just gone by so fast for me too, I start Lean next week. I did P90X before doing Chalean and I thought I would never get passed the 90 days.

    Nurse - Glad to see that you are losing inches, that's always such a great mortivator. Keep up the good work.

    Happy Friday everyone, and have a great workout.:flowerforyou:

    I did intervals this morning and realized that I may need to eat first. When I got to the sumo blurbees, I was only able to perform 2 correctly. My legs felt weak and my thighs felt tight. The other bad thing is I didn't get to the abs. I'll have to do those tonight.

    Would you all do the intervals over tonight if you didn't do very well with it this morning?:grumble:

    I am loving it! I just finnished my 1st 30 days and now am in the Push phase. Wow the heavy weights make such a difference. Right now I have just enough hand weights that add up to 20lbs I am going to need some more for some of the lower body moves.
    The burn interval and Ab dvd's are a killer! But I can see my body changing and the weight droping, it's a great feeling!!

    Hello all!! Week 3 of lean for life phase. I did push 1 again today and was able to increase some of the weights.

    Welcome Taylorl, glad you like the program. You will see the most results doing the last 2 phases. :drinker:

    Nurse, unfortunately we cannot control where to lose inches. :grumble: We never know. But you are making great progress. You can try intervals again but I would not worry about it much, just try it next time.

    Fitz, I agree, the lean phase is a good one!! :drinker:

    Purple, maybe I am your lost sister. :laugh: I also felt that 90 days went by so fast, in a week it will actually be 120 days for me since I am doing lean for life now. Not sure what I am doing next. I am not sure if another complete of ChaLean will help much. It will help to maintain I am sure but I might get bored. I don't need to lose anymore weight, maybe an inch or so from my waist but that is it.

    Have a great evening!! :flowerforyou:

    I did Lean 1 this morning, boy I didn't realize it was about 45 min. long. I didnt go as heavy as I usually do, but I might even have to go lighter on some excercises. I also have a balancing problem when I do two excercises at the same time, I like to focus on one movement at a time. I do love how Chalean is so motivational early in the morning, keeps me going.

    Its turbo jam for me tonight. I hope everyone has a great workout. :flowerforyou:
