HI EVERYONE!!

I wanted to get this thread up early in the hopes of getting a group together to do a round of ChaLean with me. I was in the midst of doing a round of P90X but have been absolutely INCONSISTENT with my workouts. On the other hand today will be Day 80 of drinking absolutely ZERO ALCOHOL. For those of you who might know me, and might know my affinity for having a shot of whiskey..hehe.. this has been a major accomplishment!!! ..and I'm not quitting FOREVER.. it's just that I find that if I drink on a daily basis, rather than an occasional basis, I have a tendency to not be able to get up early and get my workouts done! Soooo.. I'm getting up early, no problem.. but I don't think watching tv counts as exercise these days so while I was able to make one HUGE change, I am still currently struggling with the workouts. I absolutely LOVE and ADORE Tony but I can't seem to find my fire and I think it's time to switch it up with Chalene (who I LOVE and ADORE too ...so here I am, looking for a few brave souls to go on this journey with me. If I've learned one thing in my 3 years of doing BB workouts it's that I have a much higher degree of success when I am accountable to others. So who's with me?

My vision for this thread (and TEAM) is that this place belongs to EVERYONE...it's not my thread. I want it to be warm and inviting.. a place where one can go for inspiration.. to share your joys/triumphs.. or a place to go when you need a shoulder to lean on! I want it to be a place that you want to come to because you know there are FRIENDS there that will support and LOVE you NO MATTER what! I hope that this resonates with some of you and you will feel inclined to hop on this train

Oh..I suppose I should tell you at least a little bit about myself... My name is DeeDee. I will be 44 next month..I live in North Central Washington state and I'm a secretary by trade. I have two children..one 22 (Rachel) who is married to a great guy named Bruce..who is proudly serving our country in the Marines, and and i have an 8 year old fireball named Riley who keeps me from feeling my age..lol!

I look forward with excited anticipation at meeting some new friends to share this journey with.

HUGS!!

Bondgirl,
Hey lady! Thanks for being the first to post! It felt good to log in this morning and see that someone responded!! I look forward to getting to know you through this journey!! YAAAY for us! I already feel a sense of excitement about beginning this. I know we're gonna do great together!! ..and I can relate to sitting at a desk most of the day!! Where abouts do you live? Do you WOWY? I'm a 5am exerciser...and I was having to get up at 4:30 to do the X... I think that's what got to be a bit much..the whole time factor of needing an hour plus!

Are your kids boys? girls? one of each? ..lol I'm glad I got my boy the second time around as I was 35 when I had him and knew that I probably wouldn't do it again....so I'm happy I have one of each.. I know it's hard to say the age but just think that when we're through with this round you're gonna be a HOT, SCHMOKIN' 50!!! HEY..look at Tony!!! and if you want some more inspiration look at Lisa Delia's thread over in the X... she will be 50 this year and wowzer..you'd never know it!!

Okay..I'm about to get my day started.. just wanted to say HEY...glad you're here girlfriend!! I'll try and get back in a while to post again.

HUGS!!
Dee

Forgot to tell you...I'm having a friend take my before pictures on Sunday. Yikes!

Hi! I'd love to join this thread! I tried to start one for "May Starters" a couple of days ago...but didn't get any responses. Anyway, I am starting today! In about 10 minutes...I'm so excited! I just finished up a 3 month long "boot camp", and while I got a lot stronger (I could barely do one "real" push up when I started) I didn't see the results I was looking for. I hope I do with this program! I also started the nutrition plan today...and breakfast was great!

I am a stay at home mom to 3 boys, ages 13, 11 and 3. They keep me VERY busy...my oldest 2 play lacrosse and ice hockey so we are always running somewhere! My husband is in his final month of P90X and he really likes it (and he looks amazing). I was going to try it, but I just won't have the time for the longer workouts this summer as my husband will be traveling for work over the next 3 months. I am also a "runner" (wannabe) and trying to get in 3-4 runs each week takes up time as well.

Thanks for starting this thread...I'll be checking in each day!
(I forgot to add that I'm 34)

Hi Rossilu, thanks for joining us here. I thought P90X was a bit advanced for where I am and agree that the sessions are too long...for now! Maybe after I finish CE I will be able to move over to the X.

Barb, thanks for your note. I found the sheets on Chalene's blog.

DeeDee...I'm going to spend this weekend getting my food ready for Monday. I think the idea of prizes is fabulous. Count me in....Dial up????? You poor girl! Now for my name, I am a wine collecter (I have 800 bottles) and the name is for a wine named Bond...lol. However, I hope working out with Chalene will mean I can use it the other way as well!

Back to work. Talk to you guys soon!

Jewell!
Soooo HAPPY to have you on board with us! I love all the BB workouts and the "X" is a top notch program..but it's still advanced for me and I've done a few rounds of it. When motivation is low it's haaard to find it in you to face and hour+ workout! I'm totally excited about this journey we're all taking together!! WOO HOO..

ok..just wanted to say hi!!

Dee

Hi Jewell and Wendyn. I'm glad we are all doing this together. I'm going to spend the weekend getting my kitchen together. My biggest challenge is going to be staying on the food program. That and giving up my nightly wine!

I am usually pretty busy during the week. Does anyone cook their meals on Sumdays? I need some suggestions of what to make.

Thanks!

DeeDee and ladies - was hoping to jump aboard and ride this thing out with you all. Have to try to even out the boards and throw a fellow on here.

I started P90 last year at this time and had wonderful resluts. Due to an injury after my 90 took off for 4 months, gained 12 pounds back and came back with a vengence. Just finished the Master Series on Saturday and very happy with the results. Today starts my Day 1 of Round 1 of CLX. Could use a group to keep me focused

I fear with my lack of balance there are bruises to come until get familiar with it.

Later

Hi DeeDee!

I'm Jackie (NoJiggle) and wanted to drop by and say HELLO! I know too well the "drink demon"...my vice is beer. But, I have gotten so much better!
I'm in week 3 of my 2nd round of CE. I love the program! Had good results the first round...could have been better if my eating had been better. Started during the holidays and that wasn't the smartest thing to do! Cleaned up my act in the 3rd month and shrank! I do GREAT with working out...eating is my problem...although I have gotten better with it.

Well, I'm 43 (44 in June) and have a 12 year old boy (going on 16) My fiance' and I both do BB workouts...he likes doing P90X (but also likes beer), so progress has been slow. Making progress, but slow.

Let's keep in touch!! CE is an awsomely extreme program!!!

Jackie

Good Morning EVERYONE!!

..I'm soooo happy to see so many people who want to take this journey together.. YAAAAY. Soooo, I just did a nice long post and it got nabbed by admin for review..and I'll tell you why ...because I use smileys from my photobucket (because honestly, the smiley's here are just not adequate sometimes..LOL!) and normally if I just use one or two they will get by...but in my excitement this morning I obviously exceeded my quota and it got nabbed.. so it WILL show up later...but they will have removed all the smileys I inserted.. but I want to update now so I will re-create what I already typed (dangit, I knew I should've copied!!! )

DAY 1...BURN CIRCUIT 1--DONE!!
I got all my workout clothes out last night so that I would be ready this morning and I'm tellin' ya, when that alarm went off I was tired and I pushed the snooze once.. and then twice.. and then I thought about all of you here and got my ace out of bed and brought it!! ..and as always, I'm so happy that I got it done and out of the way!! I follwed my workout with a chocolate shakeology and felt super good about that too. I'm interested to see if it lives up to the hype.. The price can definitely be off-putting but I decided to give it a chance and see how I like it... PLUUUUS, I thought it would be GREAT to add to my son's diet ...he's 8 and talk about picky... SHEEEESH .. and he's way better now than he used to be... so I figured it would be a good thing for him to have before he went to school in the morning ..I use half a scoop, add milk and I have to add a little chocolate syrup or it tastes too much like a protein shake and he won't drink it... add some ice..put in the magic bullet and there ya go.. what kid doesn't want to have a chocolate shake for breakfast in the morning?..hehe I've actually been making him protein shakes for a long time now... I figure it's not much different than if he had chocolate milk with his breakfast.. but this way I can sneak in all the good nutrients!! I have been putting spinach in his protein shakes also..and he can't taste it at all.. AWESOME huh!! ... so he's on shakeology now too.. anyone else using this? I'm interested to know what others think... I saw that Chalene was raving about it ...

So I have some phone calls that I have to return and then I will be back to do personals .. and try to sneak some smileys in ..

HUGS!
