New Mercies.

This morning I slept in.  I spent some time reading and meditating on the goodness of God.  Then I got ready and began week 3 of Chalean Extreme.

Today was like a breath of fresh air.  I felt so good doing weights today and love seeing these muscles begin to take shape in my arms - stuff is happening!!  My body is changing!  This is encouraging.

Chalean is big on push ups.  I'm not the biggest fan, but today I was able to almost double the amount I could do last week on my toes, and even hang in their for the 3 uber slow push ups she does in the end.
I felt so good, I decided to try the bonus workout included in Chalean Extreme - Fat Blaster from Chalene's program Turbo Jam.  Kickboxing meets dance.  Chalene cracks me up.  She is like a little water sprite in the way she bounces around everywhere.  I had a good time though, I appreciate her spunk and the multiple times she "breaks for dancing" during the routine.  Very fun workout...Turbo Jam might be in my future...

I also LOVE how Chalene and her sister are in the Chalene Extreme program together...it makes me think of me and my own sister (who is currently moving to Texas, but will be joining me soon in Chalean Extreme).  I think of her often while I work out as Chalene and Janelle rock the weights with family love.  Maybe someday that will be Katie and I.
