Checking in

Well, here it is December already. My youngest daughter is 3 months old, my middle daughter is almost 2 and my oldest daughter is in the midst of potty training. So where am I on my journey? I am in week 2 of ChaLean Extreme. I decided to use this program after not really being thrilled with Power 90. It's a sound program, just not for me. I really like Chalene after watching some footage of her on the Beachbody website and viewing the Turbo Fire program online. I wanted to start with that one, but after watching a few minutes of some of the workouts, I decided to try ChaLean Extreme and build some muscle first. Being 36 and not having worked out consistently for almost 4 years now, I have really lost a lot of the muscle I had before my pregnancies. So, I took pictures, which was not a pleasant thing to look at, and I took all of my measurements. I started the program last week and have been sticking to the eating plan about 75% of the time. I have definitely noticed a difference in the way I feel now that I am not eating as much junk. I just plain have more energy! That definitely helps with 3 kids to keep up with. I will take my pictures at the 30 day mark and weigh myself then. I am holding off until that time because women tend to focus so much on what the scale says instead of what our clothes say. I would much rather listen to my clothes! I have a weight in mind that I would like to achieve, but I also have a closet full of clothes that I would like to fit into. I don't care how much I weigh as long as I my clothes fit me the way they used to.
