Muscle Mass : 43.6 lbs
So this week I didn't quite write down something after every workout like I have in the past, mostly because my parents were in town and it was kinda hard to make time to write stuff down, but I'll do a little overall for this week.
I ate more than I normally would have this week, and drank beer, which I normally don't. But it went well, I made little changes to make that ok, switching mixed fruit for fries, and salad for fries, and instead of prime rib going with a chicken sandwich, and only eating the bottom half of bread on my sandwich when i had hot chocolate with it. I was really proud of myself for being able to do that and not feeling left out in the festivities.
Burn Circuit 1 - everything weight wise stayed the same, feel like if I was doing this workout next week i would need to bump up some of the weights. Push ups were SOOOO hard this week.
Burn Circuit 2 - Again, everything weight wise stayed the same. Felt much easier, the push ups at the end were getting easier it seemed.
Burn Circuit 3 - Upped the sumo/overhead press, which is good, made it harder but still do able. everything else stayed the same, and same goes for circuit 1, if I was doing this next week I would need to bump more of them.
Interval/Abs - I made it through the entire workout, without having to take breaks at all or without having to take a little longer breather in between workouts. Definitely felt it afterward.
Burn it off/Recharge - Added the jump during the punching, felt great! Recharge was definitely a relief thinking of doing it more often.
On Sunday I will be sure to post up my 1 month results measurement wise.
Wish me luck!

Update time!
Weight - 133 lbs
Body Fat - 24.4 %
Body Water - 52.4 %
Bone Mass - 6.8 lbs
Muscle Mass - 43.8
Overall another good week. I'm super glad that I lost .4% body fat, even though my weight went up .2 lbs. I'm ok with that, especially when my muscle mass went up .6 lbs. Today was a bad day when it comes to food, but thats ok, 1 bad day never hurt anyone.
I got Ali Vincent's book - Believe it, Be it. I'm excited to start reading it. I'm really trying to do the whole person makeover, not just my body, but my mind and soul, everything. So far it seems to be going well.
Parents come into town tonight, hopefully I don't blow it diet wise this week, I think if I have snacks on hand I'll be good to go, except touring the coors brewery and the hammonds candy factory. So I'll try to set limits before I go in there.
here is the breakdown
Burn Circuit 1 - Definitely feelin it in my glutes today. I started using my thigh toner today, pink the lightest resistance. And I upped my weights on my bench press. Used dave's perfect push ups which made them much harder, but I still did all 12 on toes.
Burn Circuit 2 - I think I did well overall, I didn't up any weights although i did use the pink thigh toner on the bicep/abductor. Was sore from clmbing the red rocks but still managed to make it through the tough workout.
Interval/Abs - My calves were SO sore before I started this, I had to massage the pain out before I could begin. I didn't have to stop at the 16 minute mark this time. I just allowed myself to take a longer breather before the lifting. Used the pink toner on this. Definitely kicked my butt.
Burn Circuit 3 - My back is a little sore today after sleeping funny. Work out went well. Calves were still sore but I managed to do the same weights as before. Did the extreme push ups with the perfect push up, which made them WAY harder, but in a good way.
Burn it off/Recharge - I used the pink thigh toner on all of the exercises that needed it. Seemed a little easier this week, although still tough. Tonight I am definitely sore from the week. 1 more week of burn phase!
Wish me luck!

Its that time again...
Weight: 132.8 lbs
Body Fat: 24.8 %
Body Water: 52%
Bone Mass: 6.8 lbs
Muscle Mass: 43.2 lbs
This week went well overall, although I was slightly disappointed to not see ANY changes on the scale, although I guess no change is better than a change in the wrong direction. I tried to wake up early and do my workout before work, since my parents are coming into town and I won't be able to workout whenever I want for 4 days, I figured if I started working out early a week in advance I would be used to it and I would be good to go. But I am having a really really hard time waking up to do it. Maybe this week will be better than last week.
Of my goals this week made it to 4 out of the 5, which isn't bad, if the scale would have moved in the right direction I would have gotten 5 out of 5... Food wise this week I think I did pretty good, although I made brownies and had 1 brownie 3 days this week, I planned it into my day which helped. Next week I'll be better though, no brownies. I just felt the need to make them, ya know... and you can't make them and have none, but like I said i managed to only have 1 150 calorie brownie a few days. Which is some awesome willpower.
Now here is a breakdown of each workout throughout the week...
Burn circuit 1 - Seemed much easier this week. I upped my weights on both the sumo squat/hip lift and the chest fly/hip rais
Burn circuit 2 - Was still super hard this week! I upped my weights on sumo squat/bicep and thought it was going to be too much, but I managed. Also did 2 extreme push ups on my toes this week, last week I barely did 1! I noticed I need lifting gloves- my fingers get super sore from the 20 lb weights.
Interval/Ab burner - This kicked my ass again, although my knee was in much better shape this week, it was still a super hard workout. I had to pause it at the 16 minute left mark to catch my breath and take a breather. Overall felt great though, hopefully next week I can make it through the entire thing.
Burn circuit 3 - Bumped up lunge/calf raise to 25 lbs tihs week. Definitely felt it EVERYWHERE. Aside from needing real 10 lb weights rather than plates, its going good so far.
Burn it off/Recharge - I really enjoy the high intensity of this. It kicked my but every time. I added weights on the lunge/lateral raise. Only 5 pounders like Chalene does... still felt good. I really enjoyed recharge although I kind of wish it was a little longer. But overall a good day.
Week 2 another success. Can't wait to start week 3 tomorrow. Check me out at Livestrong!
Wish me luck!

ChaLEAN Extreme Week 1
Weight : 132.8 lbs
Body Fat : 24.8 %
Body Water : 52%
Bone Mass : 6.8 lbs
Muscle Mass : 43.2 lbs
Over all this week went over great! I was way more sore than I was expecting (a good sore not a bad sore). The hardest part I think about the first week is adjusting your weights, and finding out what will make you fail within the first 10-12 reps. For the most part I did ok on that, there were only 3 the entire week that I needed to bump it up to a higher weight and only 2 that I needed to lower it down slightly.
This is my first time working with Chalene and I have to say I love her energy. If you aren't in the mood to work out within the first 5 minutes you really do feel like, hey, I can do this! That is definitely nice for a change. I also really like her motivational cd that comes with the program, I've decided to listen to it every Thursday which is the end of my workout week. That will give me a chance to write down my weekly goals and get motivated for the week ahead.
Food wise this week I've done really good. On workout days I'm trying to have a net calorie (calories eaten minus calories burned off) count of 1200-1300, and on days off I'm trying to stay right around 1500. That way I'm getting enough food to be out of the starvation mood, and also to not be hungry all day long. It seems to be working for me. I've also become more creative with my dinners at work, doing bbq chicken sandwiches on rye, or chicken parmesan sandwiches. Stuff to keep me in the mood to eat healthy (although its not hard, nothing on the menu at work is remotely healthy to the point where most of it grosses me out).
So, I say week 1 is a success, I'm excited to get started on week 2 tomorrow! Check out my info on Livestrong!
Wish me luck!
