Thank you all for the suggestions! I was afraid that my only option would be to wake up super early, but it seems that may be best! A schedule is a great idea, I would like to purchase a daily planner or something of the sort and start writing things down. I wish I could ride my bike to school, however I live in a…

Hey guys, I have kind of had a bad day and I am disappointed in myself - I stayed home from work because I did not feel good and had a big English paper to write....so I resorted to eating terribly all day and not exercising...UGH! Oh well, I just have to get my act together now and reading all your comments is totally…

Hey ladies, Dawna - I really liked Push last night, I'm not terribly sore but my arms just feel really weak. I have a feeling I will be feeling some extra soreness tomorrow! Brangwen - I know just what you mean about hating running, I felt just like that no more than 3 weeks ago. Now that I am doing C25K, it's sort of…

Well, day 1 of Push phase - done! What a great new workout, my arms really feel like noodles as I used the new, heavier weights I purchased over the weekend. Will definitely be feeling this one tomorrow! Have a great night everyone :flowerforyou:

Leslie - It's great to hear we've inspired you! I wish you the best of luck with the program - feel free to join us on this thread anytime.:smile: adlopez - I plan to start P90X with my boyfriend as soon as I finish CE.

YogaRunner - Man, I can't wait until I can run a marathon!! I am planning on starting with a 5K this June. It's hard as I have NEVER run before but I am liking it a lot so far. I really have to push myself. duffysmom - Thanks! This is my first semester in college and I really want great grades so I'm stressing over these…

Good morning, Sorry I didn't check in all weekend, I have 2 exams coming up on Tuesday so I did my best to study all weekend! Welcome jenstadler, YogaRunner, and Jessica T2007 - good luck to all of you! :wink: duffyzmom - I am also starting the Push phase today!! I purchased some heavier dumbbells this weekend so I hope to…

Hey Jen! I started CE about 1 month ago and I LOVE it so far, it is unlike anything I have ever done before. We have a little thread going for anyone doing CE - you are more than welcome to join and post anytime: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/75369-chalean-extreme?page=5#posts-1085781 Good luck! :wink:

Dawna - Glad you like the thread! I love C25K so far, I have never been a runner and in fact have always had trouble with endurance training, but so far I really look forward to my 3 runs each week...we'll see how I feel in another week or 2 :laugh: I know what you mean about liking the muscle soreness after a weight…

Dawna - That's quite the schedule you got there! Sounds like a great setup! So did you have to get certified to teach Turbo Kick? It sounds like it would be a great way to get your exercise in. I agree Burn Intervals is a GREAT calorie burner! I usually burn about double what I do on C25K, which surprised me at first...…

That would be great, thanks!

I forgot to ask - Does anyone have a pfd of the CE food guide? My mom gave me CE after she bought it and never used it but lost the food guide.... Thanks!

Good Morning, Dawna - I agree that it will be awesome when we do P90X together! I think it will help motivate me to do it everyday and maybe even to push harder so that I am better than him :laugh: Wow! So did you lose all that weight and inches from CE or were you doing something else before or during? That's fantastic! I…

Welcome back Dawna! You're more than welcome to post here, I personally love hearing from people who have had good results with the program - it is motivating! I wish my boyfriend would do CE with me! He agreed to try P90X with me after I finish CE so at least I have that to look forward to! How heavy do you go with the…

Thanks for the Shakeology info, I will definitely look into it. My boyfriend was just saying that he would like to get some sort of shake for his runs... Back to BC1 for me today - this is the last week for the Burn Circuit and then on to Push (...I think!) I might throw in a cardio workout or some abs as well...We'll see…

Congratulations Melissa! I wish my boyfriend would do it with me but he claims it's only for women, whatever! Oh man, it is sooooo cold, I had to walk outside a lot yesterday to get to my classes and it was torturous!

Good Morning - I almost didn't get to run yesterday but I made myself do it right before bed and I was very proud! This week was run 90 seconds, walk 90 seconds, then run 3 minutes and walk 3 minutes repeated twice - I can't believe I actually ran 3 minutes without stopping!! That may not sound impressive to the runners…

Good morning everyone, Last night was BC 3 for me - wow! Every single exercise in that has either a squat or a lunge in it! Today is a school day, so C25K W3D1 in between classes and Pilates on my second break. It's gonna be a busy day : )

Jenn423 - I know exactly what you mean, I derail on weekends consistently (maybe the only thing I do consistently :grumble: ) and then tell myself I will start over on Monday. And, well I'm sick of doing that! I got a HRM as well and I love seeing how many calories I'm burning and whether I need to step it up or down a…

Thanks for the info! I have heard all about Shakeology but have not tried it, I've never really had any sort of protein/recovery shakes and that sort of thing..What is Shakeology all about?

Hey everyone, hope you had a great weekend! Today will mark the beginning of week 4 for me, yay! I know what you mean Chas, I too can feel myself getting stronger which is neat as I have always been super weak (especially in my upper body)! Hope you all have a great week!

Jenna423 - Welcome, it's good to have you! Wow, I can't believe you burned 800 calories!! I'm really enjoying the Burn Circuits, but I too have a hard time with the cardio. Feel free to check in with us anytime :smile: txcwgirl - Welcome as well! I am personally very familiar with starting programs and not sticking with…

Sweet, thanks! I have also been looking for some cheaper weights - it seems like everything I find is between $200-300 which is ridiculous!

I can't wait until I start to love running!! I look forward to C25K now but it is still pretty easy, I think by week 3 it will start to get harder and that's when I'll need to really push myself! Congrats!!

Good Morning, jclguru - I think maybe Chalene does the whole left foot/ right foot thing to make it easier for us...I know when I used to take dance classes, my teachers would do that so that it was easier for us to pick it up quicker..just a thought. I really love the burn circuits too, I have somewhat of a harder time…

Burn Circuit 2 - done. brangwen - thanks for the site, I will have to check it out tonight.

That's crazy! I'm about 40 minutes away from Schaumburg! I can imagine it's expensive in that area. I grew up in Rockford though right now I'm living and working Beloit, WI but I go to school in Rockford 3 nights a week.

I didn't know you could make mixes! I have been using one that is just the cues and putting on my own music but would love to make my own mix! Could you share the site?

You're near Chi-Town?! I'm in Rockford!!

duffyzmom - Glad to have you join us, I would love love to hear from as many people doing the program so we can compare results! I only recently purchased heavier weights than I am used to (this is my first time doing any sort of weight training) and I also find that it is a bit hard on my elbows, but not hard enough to…
