Ready to get EXTREME!!!
This morning I previewed the DVDs for the first 30 days of the Chalene Extreme program. I wanted to make sure that it would work to do some of the workouts before school and it does. I bought a heavier set of weights for the lower body activities and I’m ready to start tomorrow. I can tell it’s going to be tough but possible. I’m really excited to have some added structure to my workouts instead of trying to figure it out for myself.
Food has been good so far and I’m happy to say that both yesterday and today I had a small bit of chocolate (w/i my calorie guidelines) and I haven’t gone crazy. This is a huge step for me and although I’m not ready to say that I’m done w/the “all or nothing” thinking that has plagued me for years I can say I’m closer than I ever have been.
Did a 45 minutes Pilates DVD and TJ Cardio party for a total of 90 minutes today. I’m glad, too, that I was able to do one workout in the morning and one this afternoon to get the afterburn effect two times during the day.
I’m curious to see what the scale is going to say to say tomorrow. Last week I was 228.5, Friday it said 232. I knew I overindulged last weekend and a bit on Monday so I wasn’t heartbroken but this morning it was down to 230.5. My goal for the week was to remain in the 220’s so we’ll see what it says. I should be ok b/c I overcame tons of munchies at an event we were at last night (cookies and popcorn, 2 of my favorites!!).
I hope I have time this weekend to catch up w/a few of you. Talk to you soon.
