I have always been a firm beliver in the magical combination of DIET and EXERCISE to help you reach your health/weight//fitness goals...but over the years I have tried to convince myself that exercise is really enough...and hey if I worked out today I have more carte blanche on what I can eat that day...well all know the secret of losing weight is no secret at all...do more and eat less

Well as I have gotten older I have found that so many of us truly OVERESTIMATE how much we  burn off and UNDERESTIMATE how much we take in...(calorically that is) And sometimes its even trickier than that-

I started Chalean Extreme in April committed and ready to work it out! GO HEAVY OR GO HOME!!!  I bought Select Tech weights and plugged all the work outs into my computer...

I even bought a body bugg...so I could track my calories burned and log my calories consumed...and for almost 3 months I kept loosing and gaining the same three to four lbs.. SO FRUSTRATING!

Getting into this business I was determined to have accountability to myself about making working out a daily priority (even though it has been a big part of my life for over 12 years now) Sometimes life gets in the way making it harder to stick to a consistant rountine. I wanted to be a product of the biz...

Well truth be told maybe I had been lying  to myself about how much I was actually comsuming on some days...or maybe my food choices werent the best for my metabolism...whatever it was the workouts were definately getting done but the lbs were staying put!

Recently (as in three weeks ago) I dove head first into a RAW/VEGAN 5 day cleanse...Which evolved into a 11 day cleanse which has continued for almost another week now on my own...cleaning up the diet...No dairy, No wheat, No sugar, No FUN? Well not exactly...

The changes in my body both physically and emotionally have been astounding...I lost almost 9 lbs in two weeks...I have more energy than ever and my skin looks amazing...

Processed foods...including sugar substitutes are so incredibly hard on your body...and for the first time in a long time my body feels kinda light and free...Dont get me wrong I still have a long way to go but for now it feels right...The hardest hill that is facing me is the emotional ties I have to eating those trigger foods...the soft serve the candy the sweets that for years have been my go tos to make everything feel better (TEMPORARILY)

But what I have truly come to understand from a weight loss perspective is that DIET comes before EXERCISE but its way more important...80% of your success truly depends on what you are eating...so next time it seems like a few handful of fries will be ok or that extra scoop of M&Ms wont make a difference cause you "worked out" today- count to ten and then decide...

Hi Everyone

I have just hit my 3 week mark with Chalean Extreme- its been amazing so far! I havent noticed any weight loss yet but I feel so great working out 5-6 times a week! Chalene has always been great at motivating me...I also just bought a bodybugg! Which I love and am totally addicted too!

I have been trying to stay on track of my food intake by journaling consistantly and honestly.When I look back at all my histories of diet plans tracking and journaling on WW was really the ulitmate key to any weight loss success I have had in the past/  Its so easy to just eat without accountability!

And as we all know no accountability equates to no results...except maybe the results you are trying to avoid...gains!
