I am now on day 39 of Chalean Extreme. I missed yesterday's workout, so since today is my rest day, I am doing yesterday's workout instead. The second phase of Chalean Extreme is called the Push phase. Smaller reps (6-8) instead of the 12 reps from phase 1, the Burn Phase. Even though the reps are lower, the weight is heavier! As I sit here typing this, my triceps and biceps feel like they are going to split in half! I'm still feeling the burn - BUT I LOVE IT!!!
I always forget how good I feel after I work out. It is too easy to skip a workout because of not feeling like doing it. But WOW, what an awesome way to wake up and face the day! I have more energy! I'm more alert! I have more determination!
I have a very looooooong way to go until I meet my goal of losing 70 lbs, but I just need to keep plugging away and keep my determination up! I have a bad habit of getting into my own way and sabotaging my own success. That's one thing I love about Beachbody, as long as you are HONEST with people (buddies, your coach, your message board forums, etc), there is support and encouragement waiting for you! I have found that even when I am down in the dumps and eating wrong and maybe not working out, if I can help to encourage someone else that is going through the same thing that I am, I find that my mood lifts and I get back on track.
If you are looking for support, encouragement and/or workout buddies, join me by becoming either a Club member or a Beachbody Coach. Take a look around my site and feel free to ask me any questions!
