Take pictures!!!!
If any of you aren’t currently taking progress pictures I wholeheartedly recommend it. I took some at the start of my journey and can definitely see a change, but since I started the Chalean Extreme program I’m doing pics every 4 weeks. I just finished the 1st four-week segment and can definitely see a difference, especially in my waist and hips which is where I NEED to see a difference. I really didn’t expect to see that much of a difference w/i the first 30 days so I’m floored to say the least.
This got me totally pumped to start the 2nd segment and it’s tough. This month the goal is to lift weights heavy enough that you can only do 6-8. I learned during the 1st segment that I could lift the same weights that the instructor did and then I would note in my guidebook if I needed to add weight the next week. This time I did the same as the instructor as well and it dawned on me how strong I am, that at 230 pounds I’m lifting the same amount of weight as the creator of the program. There are even 2 exercises where I made a note to increase the weights next time. I swear I’m not being paid to provide testimonials but I LOVE THIS PROGRAM!!! If you’re not doing some sort of weightlifting you really need to give it a try.

Thanks for all of the support from my pity-party yesterday. This morning we went to Panera as a foursome and Justin was all smiles. It reminds me of how special he is b/c most siblings can’t wait to get away from their little brothers/sisters and he’s upset that he isn’t doing more w/him. I still worry about germs in public places for Kyle but now that the weather is getting warmer we could pick something up and have a picnic in the park or do other activities like that. It’s going to be my focus this week to think of other activities we can easily do as a foursome w/o risking Kyle’s health (and our budget).
Progress toward food goal: 4/285
Progress toward workout goal: 8/300
That’s funny you recommend the pics because last night as I was trying to drift off to sleep I was thinking about doing some pics. I know some people do a daily pic. That’s too much. I was thinking a weekly pic. Then I imagined bothering my hubby to take 3 angles of me once a week….I haven’t asked what he thought yet. I’m kind of afraid he’ll think it’s silly, but we’ll see.
Thanks for your testimonial
I’ll look into it
Congratulations!! I really need to take some pictures (of my body any ways). Wow, it’s been soo long since I took a pic with my body in it. Lol.
Picnics is a good family activity also!
As for weight training, I did a little of that yesterday!! I thinks it’s great also
Share those pics! You’ve been doing so great, you ought to post them.
Really happy that breakfast was so much fun. You really deserved it!
I think the pics is a great idea… and like the other gals I think you should “SHARE” with us!
