Week 1- Day 2

Today was definitely a good day! Just doing my day to day walking I logged 3 miles on my pedometer. Not too shabby!  I made it to they gym this morning. Was running a little behind schedule so I just did 20 minutes on the treadmill but that was enough to get the blood flowing for the day! 
And now...for my favorite part of the day.....
Today I started ChaLean Extreme! I only have 3 pound weights but I decided that might be a good thing for my first try just to get an idea of what I was getting into.. 
I absolutely loved it!  I even did the pushups! On my knees of course but still.... I hate pushups!
I got all my measurements recorded last night so I can check my progress. That had me in tears for a while. Literally, I just sat down in the bathroom and cried.  But, I reminded myself, it's not the first time I've been this big. Then I stood up, looked in the mirror and said to myself(out loud), This WILL be the last time you EVER let yourself go like this! I think Dave was looking up psychiatrists in the phone book!!!
Seriously...Dave is so awesome! He's so incredibly supportive. I know if he was physically able he'd be in there working out with me! Maybe someday.

  1. I've got the Chalean extreme. I cant wait to start it. I've committed to completing a full 30 days of the shred and if I complete it Im going to treat myself to some heavier weights (I only have 3 and 5lb at them moment) for chalean extreme.

    Anyway enough rambling wanted to say well done you. I hope you took some pictures for yourself so you have some befores to look at when your done to see how far you've come xx

  2. Thanks!!! I didn't realize who you were until just now! Silly me! I did take starting pictures just a few days before. I put them on my blog at MFP but I don't think I'll put them here! I'm planning to do pics every 20 pounds and also at the end of each ChaLean phase. I only have 3 pounders myself but I'm borrowing my son-in-laws. He has some old "I'm a body builder" ones!!!
