Chalean Extreme

C is for Chalean Extreme

Do you have a soul mate workout? You know, one that you always go back to. The one that pushes you, moves you & excites you?

Mine is Chalean Extreme by Chalene Johnson. I’ve heard it described as “P90x for women”. But honestly hubby has done it with me, so it’s for the men too! It’s the perfect mix of strength training, cardio, yoga, stretching. The whole she-bang. I can quote almost word for word each workout, but man they still whoop me each time!

My Weightloss Journey … so far!

by Carrie Keele on April 12, 2011

Today on Facebook I shared some current before/after pictures. A few of you asked for the story, so here it goes.

  • Height: 5’10”
  • High Weight: 231
  • Current Weight: 187.2
  • How I’ve lost: ChaLEAN Extreme, Turbo Fire, running, biking, but most important: nutrition … balanced diet tracking in/out with Bodybugg & drinking Shakeology

The weight loss hasn’t been fast or easy, but definitely a learning experience. I created a time line to share a bit of the journey, I applaud you if you make it through the whole thing! I started this story in 2005, only because I didn’t want to make this any longer! ;)

Checking in

Hello! So, I have been totally slacking when it comes to my blogs lately, but that’s okay. I’ve been outside for the last hour weeding and planting flowers, so I do not feel guilty in the least bit! I can’t remember if I posted last week or not, but I got side tracked from working [...]
