If you haven't heard of LOLCats ... it's just one of those totally random funny sites... a guilty pleasure of mine perhaps? Anyway the site is called I Can Has Cheezburger

Why I love Chalene Johnson

This is Chalene:

She is basically awesome....

also I think I want to be her when I grow up.

Some of you know that about a year and a half ago my sister Sandie and I decided to start working out together to stay motivated (and because up till then we had both been pretty lazy) - and we kicked it off by doing Chalene's ChaLEAN Extreme program. We each lost a considerable amount of weight and it really kick started our weight loss efforts! I had already experienced Chalene's awesomeness from a couple years prior to that when I discovered Turbo Jam, and Sandie too fell for her amazing energy and motivation skills! Starting last January I introduced Sandie to Turbo Jam, and again we remembered why we like doing her workouts! She is adorable, and fun, and she makes us want to keep coming back and doing her workouts over and over again (and we most certainly have). She is personally responsible for probably at least 30 of the 50 pounds I have lost so far. But probably more. I will admit however, We've been doing Turbo Jam for a good 7 months now and are starting to get lazy and enter into that lazy mode where we are kind of halfheartedly doing our workouts and my diet has become pretty weak around the edges. The result? I haven't actually lost any real weight in the last couple months. I haven't really gained either... and I AM healthy... but I am certainly in need of something new to shake things up!

Of course Chalene is on top of it, and just a month ago she came out with her newest program - and, I might add, her most intense - Turbo Fire! I'm really excited to try out this workout. Last week we tried the "HIIT 15" video that was out online as a kind of preview of what the workouts would be like. SO GOOD. It may have been only 15 min, but she works you hard! I can't wait to try the full program - which I fully intend to do. In fact I am going to count on all of YOU to make me keep at it. I think I'm going to take some before pictures and my starting stats and post them up here... and do weekly updates or something like that. So don't let me get lazy! Please hold me accountable!

I read Chalene's blog to keep me motivated, check her out: Chalene Johnson's Blog
