Opps - have been slack in updating this log! All my travelling has really upset my routine but still managing to get some exercise in:

Plan to do Fire 60 and Abs 10 tonight. Off on holiday on Thursday for a week (more travelling!!) so will have to plan some type of activity for that or I'll come back a big roly poly!!

Methven

Back from hols and despite overindulging in pasta and pizza only a couple of pounds up - phew! Restarted the Turbo Fire / Chalene Extreme hybrid yesterday as I'be been a bit all over the place with travel and hols and haven't got a good run at it. 13 weeks until my next trip and this is a 12 week programme so fingers crossed there will be no interruptions.
Week 1 - Mon: CE Burn Circuit 1 & Turbo Fire Fire 30 - 457 cals.

Methven

Week 1: Tues - Turbo Fire Fire 55EZ - 397 calories.

Hey there Methven, I'm just back from holidays & catching up. how are you doing? How are you enjoying Chalean Extreme? Only a couple more weeks of mommy time for me before 8 long weeks of hell (aka summer holidays) and then I'll be doing C.E again.

Hi DCD. Welcome back! I'm back too and hoping to lose the few pounds I put on :-(. Where to start with Chalean Extreme? Well I began by doing that and Turbo Fire as I was scared to drop the cardio. I quickly realised that given my really hectic life I don't have 2+ hours a day to workout! So I switched to a hybrid of the 2. Then I had lots of travel for work and my hols so that disrupted things a bit. I feel I haven't really gotten into it properly yet. I restarted this week and hope to have an uninterruped run at it. I'm finding the whole stopping and starting the DVD to change weights a pain but otherwise think its a very good programme. She is so motivational isn't she? And the same age as me so I'll have a bod like hers after this :-) I follow her and her sister Janelle on Facebook and Instagram - lots of good tips. Will you do any cardio whilst doing CE? I'm thinking of doing Insanity after this hybrid but will have to work up the courage I think!
By the way spotted your progress following the Paleo diet - well done. You must be delighted.

Good luck with the summer and CE!

Dotcomdolly

Thanks Methven,
Yeah the weight changing is a pita, but hey ho....the EPLF.com stuff was good but I was making bugger all progress (my fault not theirs) so I won't be keeping up my monthly sub. AND I can't get to the gym anyway.
I might run while doing CE, I'm not sure tbh....
Still doing paleo and plan to stay eating this way for ever , the Whole30 was a good challenge but happy to re-introduce the wine Have stayed off the sugar on a day-to-day basis though. Had no bread on holidays and only 2 deserts so that was good.

Methven

Week 1: Wed - rest day
Thurs - CE Burn Circuit 1 / TF

Had the 'Friday feeling' today and was sooooo tempted to skip the workout......but I didn't :-)

Pumped now and really glad I did it. Justifies a nice glass of vino too :-)

The sumo squats with calf raise at the end are sweat festy!

Hopefully we'll have calves of steel with all these raises :-) I actually don't find them too bad - find the shoulder ones the toughest. Had to reduce weight today a bit on some of them. Think I had over estimated my super strength and my form was all off. Got on much better today and burned more calories! Still tough though.

Methven

Week 3 - Thursday: CE Burn Circuit 3 - 231 calories. Much happier with this today.

Just had a look at them - she's great isn't she? So inspirational. She has a book out too - Push - which I must get. I'm big into lists like she is and love being organised and in control. Just need to get her body and dye my hair blonde and I could be her twin Seriously though she talks a lot of sense and I just looooooooove her workouts. Hopefully she'll bring another out soon.

Methven

Update on the end of Week 3:
Friday - TF Fire 45EZ & Core 20 - 425 calories
Saturday - CE Push Circuit 1 & TF HIIT 15 - 323 calories - failed on the 1st rep of the Push workout! Morto and big red face! Had to drop the weight on that one. Really need to work on my upper body strength. Lower has been no problem - probably from all the squats, kicking and jumping in Turbo Fire.
Sunday - TF Fire 45 & CE Extreme Ab Burner - 443 calories.

Methven

Week 4 so far:
Monday - rest day
Tuesday - CE Burn Intervals & TF Stretch 10: 309 calories
Wednesday - CE Push Circuit 1 & TF HIIT 20: 307 calories
Thursday - TF Fire 45EZ & CE Extreme Abs: 451 calories

Feeling good :-)
