It works!! Shakeology and temptation

ChaLEAN Extreme Update...
I am now on week three of ChaLEAN Extreme/Burn Circuit (first 30 days). I only missed one work out BUT I did a THREE mile hike (I am sure it was for GOATS) I KNOW it was call Iron Goat Trail but I didn't know it meant literally. More on that later...Anyway, I can feel myself getting stronger. I can go lower in my squats and lunges. My knees are feeling good and I don't have to take tylenol every day anymore. I only needed to ice once. I took a bike ride today and although it was short I could make it up the hill without a struggle AND I was hardly sweating. In terms of progress-that is LOTS of progress. In terms of a workout it was LIGHT but it is a REST day. Which by the way I have come to hate! I feel like I am wasting my time NOT doing something. And nowadays I am always thinking of new ways to workout/exercise/get out and more around. Progress!!

THE HIKE
Oh. I wanted to do a hike. A simple, easy hike. Ok. It looked okay to start. It said it was wheelchair access. SWEET! It was me, my son, and my BFF who was in town to visit. It started because of Michael (friend/co-worker). He went to Mazama with his family on a hike and it looked FUN! So I got this book called "Off The Beaten Patch-Washington". My hike was in it and it was very close to where we were staying! YAY! What happened was we actually took the wrong path. It was HARD. It was LONG. But we FINISHED!! That was cool. I felt good about the whole thing (other then the initial shock of our situation!) but I am SURE it was FOR goats!! http://www.irongoat.org I forgot my phone so D. took all the pics. Once she gets back to the boat she is going to send them over.

Shakeology
I got my samples of Shakeology from my coach Brenda from Beachbody.com. She is AMAZING! Back to the samples! They are delicious. I tried the chololate one and the greenberry one. They are expensive but I think it is worth it. I am going to ramp up my workouts next month so I am going to need that extra fuel (so to speak). I really want this to work. I have been working on my diet-ok-my lifestyle change. (If you call it a diet YOU will fail!)I have NOT been to a vending machine since my last traumatic incident previously blogged! I have been preparing my work food on my days off and that also helps with stress too. I have been making better choices too. Today instead of eating regular tacos at Taco Bell I ate the cantina tacos which are like carne asada tacos. I also stopped when I was full NOT stuffed. I have been working on my water drinking at home.

Progress! YEAH ME!
