Chalean Extreme
Hey there! I just started Chalean Extreme this morning. This will be my second time going through. I was wondering if anyone else is currently going through it, or would like to go through it with me? We could get a group going, or just add friends for support. :)

Getting protein without fat
I have been focusing on meeting my protein macro lately.. I have yet to actually reach it, but I have noticed an almost direct correlation between protein and fat. Most days I meet or go over my fat macro. My protein sources are: Protein drink for breakfast Nuts and cheese for snacks Meat with supper I'm sure that the nuts…

Things are starting to click, but I have a question.. or two.

My first NSV that I'm proud enough to share!
I can do pushups!!! About 2.5 months ago I could barely eak out 3 pushups on my knees.

I can do several tricep pushups on my knees, and am getting to the point where I can come up onto my toes!…

Burn intervals
I thought for sure I would HATE this workout. This morning when I got up to walk the dog I was dreading doing the Burn Intervals workout afterwords. I gotta say, I kind of liked it! I felt great the entire time and have felt good all day. The calorie burn is a major plus too. :) Edit- I'm new to the group by the way.. Just…
