Starting ChaLEAN Extreme on Aug 31st...want to join me?

Good luck!! I did a round in December and had great results!! I'm loving Insanity for now... in month 2 and finishing up strong! Not sure what I'll be doing next... but probably a little ChaLean mixed in there somewhere!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Jess

Have any of you done P90X Lean??

I almost did Chalean instead.

I'm on Day 5 of P90x Lean. I like it so far!

Hi Brenna, yes I have done P90x Lean and I did the Classic version two. I liked the lean program and if you stick with the diet you can get some great results. For me, I just preferred the results I got from ChaLean Extreme. I think it is better suited for the female body (in my opinion). If you have any questions about P90x I would be happy to try to answer! It is a great program and Tony is fun to work out with! Good Luck!!!:happy:

Thanks!! Yeah, I am doing ok for now. The pushups and pullups are what really, really kill me. That stuff is important and good for me, I know.

But I feel like I need mroe cardio. I also have a tough time with eating so much. I hate to say this but it goes against what I'm used to, eating around 1200-1500 calories per day. I guess I've engrained "dieting" to mean low calories. I'm trying to do low carb/high protein. As a vegetarian, it is quite a struggle-but I'm doing it.

What is the commitment of Chalean vs. p90x lean? Is it very different? Maybe I will give Chalean a try next.

I started this week so I will be a week ahead of you, but if you don't mind I will tag along with you.

I did 3 weeks of Chalean and then ending up going to spend a week or so with family and fell of the track so I am starting fresh again.

I plan to do Slim in 6 Burn on some rest days. I also do Tony Horton 10 minute Yoga and Slim in 6 Abs each night before I go to bed. If it is not too hot I also take a walk break at lunch.

My son is 13 months - and yes I think he is adorable - but I am partial.

The first week is great. But I am usually good until about 3 weeks into it before I hit the wall.
I am mentally debating if I should take both rest days or if I can add a cardio workout one of those days. What are you going to do?

I posted a calendar on my office wall on Monday and I am putting X on the days I work out. I told my coworkers to get on me if I don't have an X. That way I am counting down for my workouts and for Christmas. It would be great to show of at Christmas with the relatives. :happy:

Today was suppose to be a rest day so I did Slim in Six Burn. Now I am ready for today.

I am already noticing a difference in the way my clothes are fitting. YEAH :happy:

How is everyone else doing?

Hey girls....
Way to rock it out! I am in week 2 of the Lean phase...got CE Lean 2 tonight! I tell you what..Lean 1 is killer! I am taking 1-2 weeks of program later this month (works out well as I'll be on a cruise for one week!) and then starting again on Oct 5.

I did Burn Intervals this morning. Great workout. I love Thursdays.

Not grumpy today just tired. My son was up ever 30 minutes with sinus dripping into his throat. Guess it is that time of the year.

Kim are you still with me???

How was your daughter's first day of kindergarten? I am not ready for mine to be that old. I have a hard enough time dropping him off at daycare.

Great job working out even with little time - we have to make time right

I did Burn 3 this morning. Feel great. Ready for the weekend. Maybe I can get some sleep thrown in. My son is still having a cold. As my husband says he has snot bubbles and is still having trouble breathing because of that so he is not sleeping at night. We steam him in the morning and before bed which helps. GUess it just has to run its course.

Hope you have a wonderful Friday.:drinker: Water only!!!

Kim - Hope you had a nice camping trip. I am a smores freak - love them. I used to have ingredients on hand at all times for a night time snack - of course that is not allowed anymore. But if I were camping I think I would have to give into the temptation.

On Saturday I did Burn It Off but I followed Lelee because I am sick. I think I caught what my son had. I head feels like it is going to explode. So I took Sunday and today off trying to recover. I am still doing great with my calories and have not gone off with junk food - even though being sick makes me want to. If I feel up to it tonight I may try Burn 1 if not I will try to get back into something tomorrow.

Wow I hope your daughter is feeling better. That was a rough weekend for her. But kids usually bounce back rather quickly - guess that is one of the perks for being a kid.

Sounds like you did good holding on to your workouts. And yes, we have to indulge every so often with our diet so that we can keep on being healthy.

I did end up doing Burn 1 before bed last night. I felt better about sticking to the schedule, but then I could not go to bed. Today was a rest day so instead of getting out of bed I slept. Still not feeling well, but forced myself to come to work. I am going to try and go for a walk at lunch to at least get some kind of exercise in today. I don't think I will be up for an aerobics workout tonight, but we will see.

Have a wonderful Tuesday.

Was out sick yesterday but I did get Burn Circut 2 in and a yoga last night to try and get out some of my kinks.

This morning I did Burn Intervals and I will try and do Ab Burner tonight when I get home. I am making myself stick with this even though I am still not better because getting sick is the perfect excuse to stop my routine and I am not going to let that happen. I am in this for the long haul - but I will take the rest days until I get better.

Hope you have a good day.

Hope you get to some Yoga - it really does relax you - if you have the right one for you.

I did Burn 3 this morning. It is amazing how better I feel after working out.

Have a great weekend.
