Howdy!
So mission accomplished! Burn Circuit 1 done! So that means I am starting off week 2 with a bang! I am seriously considering getting the Select Techs...the 20lbs are not as challenging, but the 25lbs are a bit too much, I would think that the 22 1/2 lbs will be perfect for some of the exercises.
My eating has been a bit off, I think its because I am still hanged up with the Thanksgiving Holiday. So yesterday, my meal plan was as follows:
6:30am - Shakeology with 5-6 frozen Strawberries and one spoon of PB2
10:0am - 2nd Shakeology with 1/2 a banana, ice and one spoon of PB2
12:30pm - Turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread and cranberry sauce - 1 orange
4:30pm - Yoplait Light Blueberry
8:00pm - whole wheat pasta with sauteed onion, mushroom, bell pepper with left over filet mignon, with only 1 tablespoon of alfredo sauce (or less, it was very little) and half a nut muffing from Mimi's cafe...
and well the muffin was my downfall for last night's meal. As you can tell I did 2 shakes, after overeating like I did during the Thanksgiving break, drinking shakeology makes my insides better if you know what I mean, I feel lighter, and have more bounce in my step when working out it takes all the sluggishness away. I am still thinking about the 3 day cleanse, but before I do I need to purchase some greens for my salad and I haven't had time to swing by costco. Evenings have been hectic at home, usually get home, sit down and help Ximena with her homework, start dinner, eat dinner, hang out with the older kids and have conversation with them while we eat, then spend a few minutes with the youngest ones, then its bed time...last time I wasn't lucky so they went to bed without a shower, which considering the weather at least they are not all stinky! LOL
So the plan tonight:
Ximena Homework
Dinner
Quality time with the kiddos (this may include bath time)
Practice TK44 full round
Bed Time!
keep your fingers crossed so that all goes as planned!

Days 4-8 of Chalean Extreme
Hey Hey Hey!
Don't think I've have forgotten about my strength training! :) Here is a Recap!
Day 4 - Thanksgiving Day: On Thursday I decided to wake up early enough to get my Burn Intervals done before I started cooking for the Thanksgiving meal! Mission Accomplished! I got my workout of the way, and I started cooking and enjoying my day with the family. While I was cooking I didn't really obsessed with calories, and finding healthier substitutions...I just wanted to cook and enjoy the day with my kids. We had a huge turkey, we also had Ham, and we also grilled a piece of Filet Mignon. We had the usual side dishes, the green been casserole, smashed potatoes, apple,sausage,onion stuffing, and of course the pumpkin pies! (please note the plural on the pies!)

So I decided to come clean and admit that I skipped out on the workout for this day, BUT I need to put in my plug so that you go and watch The Muppets! so fun, makes you feel good, the songs are great! the jokes are well written, even my teenagers enjoyed it!
Day 6 - All the food and family time and Skipped on the Burn it Off and Recharge....
Day 7 - Rest day!
So there you have it....week 1 of chalean extreme was not perfect....but this week I am committed to make it it PERFECT and follow the schedule to the T! Tonight I have burn circuit 1 - and I am not missing it! Have a great Fitness week! Lets Bring It! -- now after the Thanksgiving Eats...I feel I need a Shakeology Cleanse, I know my body and I will be thankful for it!

Day 3 of Chalean Extreme!
Good morning!
Today is day 3 of Chalean Extreme! I didn't want to get up this morning to tackle my workout! it is my day off, I wanted to lounge more in bed. But when I woke up everybody was still sleeping. The only ones that were awake and active were my 2 cats who happened to have a bit of a disagreement, not sure over what, so I got up and scooted them outside so that they could take a chill pill. I was up! so I said, well I might as well get my tennis shoes on (Because for my pijamas I always sleep with my workout clothes so all I have to do is put on my shoes in the morning -- yeah I've been told by my husband that I am "lazy" for doing that, I say its a way to ensure I do what I plan the night before ;)
That was around 7am, so I knew that the kids would wake up soon, and the only place I can do my turbo is in the living room, so I did that first! I did a full round of 38 -- almost got it! I only had to refer back to the DVD for the recovery and finale just so that I can "oh yeah, thats the move" Right at the end of the Finale, guess what all three babies where awak and wanted me to put the disney channel, it was a good thing that I only had like 1 1/2 left of the finale, I made them wait.
After the Turbo I decided while the kids were being entertained by Disney, to go head to the garage and tackle Burn Circuit 2! I still can't believe I haven't lost all of my strenght! I curled 15lbs, and for some of the row exercises I did 25! I mean not all of the row, towards the end there I had to go down to 20lbs :)
Here I am saying "I am done! how about you? Come on! and groove" LOL

Day 2 of Chalean Extreme
Good morning!
Well today is my rest day from Chalean Extreme! When I woke up this morning, my chest muscles were stiff and sore! YAY! I welcome the pain...it's been a while since I felt that kind of soreness in my upper body.
Per the Chalean Extreme schedule, today is my rest day, but I didn't NOT want to do anything so I decided to do my Cardio! What's my favorite cardio? well if you haven't figure it out already its TURBO! Turbo Jam (which is really for beginners) Turbo Fire, and of course now Turbo Kick! Since I am now a certified instructor, I get all the awesome music and choreography and I practice to my hearts content! Speaking of which, this past Saturday I got to showcase the punching section of round 44, a special thanks to Anita the TK instructor that teaches TK on Saturday mornings at the San Mateo Sports 24hr fitness! It was a great natural high for me to get front and center and showcase that punching section. I am naturally a quite girl...not one to seek attention. I remember when I was in 5-6th grade there used to be a talent show at school, I would happily watch my friends practice their dances, but in no way would I have volunteered to participate! although, thinking back I did participate in the 6th grade Drill Team and we performed for the school. That was so nerve racking! After it was done I remember thinking to myself, well that's the last time I bring attention to myself! but I must say that I must secretly enjoy being front in center, because in middle school in Mexico I was part of the "escolta" which is a Mexican tradition, kinda like saying the pledge to the flag every morning, but in Mexico its on Monday mornings, and the escolta brings out the flag and then the school sings the national anthem before starting the school week. So I guess I am a "front and center closet girl" that hasn't come quite come out and declare that she enjoys to perform for the world to see ;)
