Forgot to post yesterday, but here is my weight. Weekends are always so hard to resist any temptations. I'm going to a friend's get-together this weekend and I wil make the right eating choices, but I can't promise I will stay away from the wine. I don't ever overdo it, 2 glasses is my limit, but this means I wont be…

I did the Lean for Life, it was fun mixing up all the workouts like that, and it might shock your body with a new routine. I'm also starting a new round because I also have more weight to go. Good Luck:flowerforyou:

Can I still join I really need something to get me moving down the scale. I hope I'm not too late. My name is Olga and my start weight is 169-173# (havent really weighed myself in a couple of weeks). My goal weight is 120#, I might not be able to reach that by 1/1/10, but I'll take whatever comes. My hobbies are working…

This is my last week on Lean for Life. I'm gonna start round 2 next week. I watched the Biggest Loser yesterday, I love that show. I hope everyone has a great workout.:flowerforyou:

I used to be very intimidated when I first started going to the gym over eight years ago. I thought everyone was looking at me and would stop what they were doing to critize me. There were times when I would walk in and turn around and walk out. Other times I would just make it to the parking lot. :laugh: That was the…

I had great workouts this weekend, but my eating bombed again. Today I run, my husband and I joined a new gym (24 hrs) so it's so easy to plan my runs. I hope everyone has a great workout.:flowerforyou:

WOW, not many people posting. I'm still doing CE, I'm on Lean for Life Phase, doing Push 3 today along with ARX. In between my strength training days I've been running, but my shins are hurting, so I'm gonna cut back. I got too excited and ran four miles, now I'm paying the price. (note to self, build up slowly). I went to…

Did Push 2 this morning, and I felt great. I'm running right after work. Once I start building up my running miles I will only do CE and ab workout three times a week, and the rest of the days I will run. I hope everyone has a great workout.:tongue:

Rest day today, but I'm going to do cardio party and Ab Ripper X. Still lovin Chalean and glad I decided to do another round. I could add so many other variations to the workout. :smile: I hope you have a great workout:tongue:

I was out sick, last week, (stomach virus) couldn't hold down anything. :sick: Finally felt good yesterday and started Lean for Life again today doing Burn 1, and I'll do some running tonite. I did lose a lot of water weight :laugh:, but know I'll gain right back. :ohwell: I hope everyone has a great workout.:flowerforyou:

I dont know if anyone would know this here but I thought I would ask. What is better multi grain or wheat bread (I'm using the Wasa crispbread)? Also is it better to run outside or on the treadmill? I use the treadmill alot, because sometimes natures calls, and I might be to far away to answer. I want to be close to where…

Yesterday was Push 2, so glad that Chalean keeps reminding me to watch my stomach muscles and my posture. Things I forget when I'm trying to go heavy, so I do appreciate the pointers. I also did cardio mix right after. I should have broken up the two workouts, because cardio mix is about 43 minutes long, but getting up…

Fitz - You have to do what is right for you. Keep in touch, and whenever you decide to come back to Chalean we will be here wating for you. :flowerforyou:

Good morning, I finally decided I'm going to continue to do another round of Chalean once I'm done with Lean for Life phase because I'm gong to start training for a 10K and Chalean works well with the extra training. Today is Push 1 along with turbo jam, rest from running. For anyone getting bored with the program try…

Good morning to all. I also did P90X and agree it is too long. If you want to add an extra calorie burn workout you really have to organize your schedule to fit both workouts. Yesterday I did Burn 1 and 20 minute turbo jam. I didn't do as well as I thought I would do. I thought I would be able to lift more than I did.…

Today is Burn Circuit 2 and either a run or turbo jam, depending how I feel. I should've gotten up early this morning, but because I can do these workouts in about an hour I thought I could do them tonight. I'll try to get up early on Wednesday to do my next weight training. My eating wasnt good this morning, but I have…

Alf - You're right I will do the lean for life (it's like a hybird itself:laugh: ). I love both P90X and Chalean, I've gained muscle, have lost some inches but havent lost weight. This has been my poor choices because of my eating habits. I need to step it up, I know what to do I just don't know why I dont keep up with my…

Fitz - I'm almost done with CE, but I'm like you dying for a change. I think that's part of the slacking. I can make so many excuses) :laugh: So hybirds here I come. Ghanie - You've always been such a hard worker, even when you were doing P90X you really pushed it. You are so dedicated.

Alf - Great back and arm muscles. This is an inspiration for those just starting the program. No I didn't go to San Antonio :sad: . I went to Dallas on a conference, but I'm back today and doing Lean 3. So how is your P90X training going? Give me the 411, it's interesting to hear people start a new program. It's got me…

WOW, we fell back to the 3rd page :sad: It's lean 1 for me today, but I leave out-of-town for a few days. Still trying to figure out how I am going to do the workouts. Either buy a band and try to do the workouts at the hotel, just go to the gym at the hotel, or start the week again when I get back. I'll be back on Friday,…

It's lean 3 for me today along with ab workout and maybe a run depending on how I feel. It's Friday, I get to sleep in on Saturday! I hope everyone has a great workout.:flowerforyou:

I also did the P90X as the schedule suggested. My strength training days fell on M-W-F. Tuesday was Plyo, Thursday was yoga, Saturday was Kenpo. I would take Sunday as my rest day. In my opinion, the X Stretch is some of the same movements that are in the Yoga X. Cardio X has some of the same movements that are in Plyo.…

Fitz - P90X is very instense, and if you need a break from Calean you'll defintely need a break from P90X. There's some movements that I still cant do, like the pull up that uses a towel with one hand (forget what that one is called). To be honest I can't tell which one gives you more results because eventually in both…

I'm with you both, I think I look like a football player. Although, I've always been top heavy, and build muscle easily. My arms are pretty big for a girl, but they do have more muscle than fat. One of our friends asked my husband (not me, we women are so competitive) what I was doing because my arms were very strong. Way…

I did Lean 2 this morning, afterwards running around taking my daughter to school and getting ready for work I forgot to drink my protien. :cry: . I'll have a protien bar in a little bit:happy: I'm doing turbo jam tonite by myself (daughter will be at swim practice :sad: ) I hope everyone has a great workout :flowerforyou:

Hey, ALF, if you do follow the plan you will get leaner, but it's very restrictive. I don't know if you'll lose any weight, because all that will depend on how much muscle you gain. I dont have my book with me but if your intake is about 1800 calories for example you count your protiens as six portions. You then refer to…

Sorry my bad manners showing. Welcome to the new ladies glad to have you on board. Let's have some fun.:flowerforyou:

Well life happened yesterday and threw me a curve. No biggie instead of today being my rest day I took it yesterday. My godson and his wife came over as soon as I got home, he helped my husband put up a TV stand. So I cooked diner and they didn't leave until 8:30pm. Well then my sister and her daughter came to visit (they…

Fitz - I love my select tech and dont regret buying them, but I only had ten pounds weights before hand. I would have spent way more money if I purchased 15#, 20#, 25#, and 30# weights separately. Walmart has a nice weight set in which you could go up 5# up to 25#, but it doesn't have the 2.5# increments which is very…

I didn't get up early this morning to do my workout, so I'm doing Lean 1 tonite along with turbo jam (it's on a 20 minute workout so it's not that bad). I did Burn Circuit on Saturday for extra calorie burn. On Sunday, I went to the gym with my DH and got on the bike, for an hour and did the 20 minute turbo jam. Alf, I'm…
