Check in for the weekend.

I am screwed on nutrition this weekend so I will check in for my workout. Saturday was rest and Sunday was the first Lean C1! I was so ready for the change up.

Pipsg1rl: You will do great! I wanted to ask you if you did the deluxe version of PIYO. Was it worth the money for the extra workouts and the sliders?

I didn't but want to at some point. You can use coated paper plates as sliders in a pinch, but off the top of my head Idk if they come separately.

It is $59.85 for the two extra programs and the sliders if you purchase them separately from the base package.

If you purchase the deluxe it doesn't seem like there is a savings OTHER than s/h for 2 shipments.

If you get the regular and then only the DVD set you save a tiny bit, but you have to decide if you want to use Paper Plates or spend some money for the slides. The slides look cooler in the gym than paper plates, but if you are on a budget that would be something you can live without.

Tuesday: JELF P2 - Rest (Repair) Day.

We're here for ya!

Wednesday: JELF P2, D37: Chest, Abs, Cardio.

Will do cardio after work. Chest/Abs takes about an hour.

it was soooo humid in the garage this morning. We have our floor sprayed with non-slip texture luckily, but it was still sort of slick.

My husband suggested opening the garage door, which I did slightly, and then it was Mosquito Hawk City! I guess I need some of those buckets-o-absorb now.

At least I wasn't freezing.

Wednesday Part 2: Cardio 30m. Did it after work. The chest workout takes longer than a few others so it ate up my morning allotment.

Thursday: JELF P2, D38: Legs.

Legs is a no cardio day, which is fine with me.

Today I brought an empty sweet tea container my son had and I've filled it with water. The set up for my office is prohibitive to drinking water. Once you leave the office space to go to the kitchen area you have to scan your badge to get back in. It's not a quick trip to the kitchen and desk. They will be moving us to another floor soon where we won't have that same need and I believe they have an ice maker too (which is awesome).

Here are some pics of my Phase 1 Start Jamie Eason LiveFit and then my Phase 2 Start, front only.

I'm all about moderation. But something else that helps is sharing those desserts or taking a few bites that are OH SO GOOD...MMMMM and then it's not giving you that high anymore. Once it stops tasting amazing, stop eating it. (So far only a few things can I not do this with.)

IDR - are you doing eatback?

Awesome Pipsg1rl! (*)

Looking great Pips!

Check in for Thursday:

Workout: LC 3 Week 1
Nutrition: Net 1053

Friday:
Workout: HIIT 25
I have already prelogged my food for today so I should be able to net around 1060. Tomorrow is a rest day and I should hit my net 1200 for Saturday.

Today was my rest day. I did go over calories a bit more than I wanted but things got a bit hectic. We were rearended on our way to dinner tonight. Thankfully, everyone is okay but my neck is aching a bit so I am not sure I will be doing any lifting for a day or so. I may find some yoga or something light to do. I would rather be safe than sorry!

Saturday: Shoulders and Cardio.
Sunday: Legs (no cardio).

Monday: So far JELF P2, D43: Arms, Abs, Cardio. Arms/Abs completed.

Seriously debating skipping the cardio this afternoon, but man - I'd hate to tell someone I didn't do it b/c I just didn't feel like it.

Pips- did you do your cardio?

Went to the doctor and got the go ahead to workout. He gave a cortisone shot so I think I will wait until Wednesday to resume CLX after reading up on this shot. Had all my weights and workout gear set up In the living room already for the morning too

Hey, @lessthankris , how are you feeling today?

@amomono How's Lean treating you?

I think we're losing people!



Wednesday: JELF P2, D44: Legs.

She changed it up a little bit today on me with Close Legged Barbell Squats and the Leg extensions at the end of the workout.

There are one legged Squats, but they aren't quite the same as the way Chalene does them, you put your leg behind you on a bench or chair.
I cannot do these weighted! Balance is a huge part of this, so I do them slowly without weights to make sure I get the benefit of them.

-hugs-

Sometimes it's not in your head, you may be more unbalanced than usual. And if you were thinking about being careful it may have messed you up some.

Second week?! That's so great, you're almost there

The squat is pretty cool looking, but it takes a minute to figure out how far from the chair/bench your forward leg should be, so there is a little hopping around.

Good morning ladies!

Friday! Woot

Thursday Part 2: Cardio - COMPLETED!

JELF P2, D46: Shoulders (and cardio). I like that she's giving me new moves but now it's 4 sets of 8 instead of 3 sets of 10

New move: Palm in Dumbbell Press (single side). Basically this is a move where you have a dumbbell in one hand, your arm at a 90D angle from body and press up to straight and then back down to 90. Other arm is straight out for balance.

Also, there are "SuperSets" in P2. That's where you do 2 exercises back to back and then a short rest, repeat. Today was front dumbbell raises (8) and dumbbell upward rows (8). Normally I can do the upward rows isolated at 10 pounds, but the raises sort of pre-exhaust the shoulder/chest, so I just kept both at 7.5. Easy to do with selectable dumbbells.

I'm really ready to be done w/P2. I'm hoping that the P3 I can just do all at once in the morning and not have to worry about 2 a days.

This was still in my reply box so I must have never posted it yesterday-oops.We took a 4 mile walk rather than our usual three mile run today. Trying to get my eating under control again. The last three days have not been good as we have been out of the house a lot and I just feel hungry a lot. Since this is usually the week we are on vacation and think my body is missing it lol.

And today was LC 2 Week 2. I was a little nervous since it is so much shoulder and upper back bug happy to report that it felt fine. I did not even have to take any ibprofen today. My balance still stunk though. I do not remember it being so bad last week. I am using lighter weights since I can't imagine balancing with heavier on some moves.

Pips- you are awesome. There is no way I wound be up for two workouts a day. Hope the end of that is near for you!

Sounds like you are doing great. With CLX I was always hungry. Not so much in the Burn Phase, but more toward mid-Push and after.

Thank you for the compliment. Last night my husband invited some friends over and i didn't get home until right before they showed up, so today will be legs and cardio make up day.
