100 book challenge update- The Skinny Rules

The Skinny Rules by Bob Harper (book 28)

With so much conflicting weight-loss advice out there to confuse your efforts, it’s no wonder you haven’t been successful losing weight and keeping it off. But with Bob Harper, superstar trainer and co-host of NBC’s hit show The Biggest Loser as your personal authority and coach, you can and will finally shed the pounds—whether you want to lose two or two hundred!
 
Distilling Bob’s vast knowledge of nutrition, weight-loss strategy, and human nature down to twenty simple, nonnegotiable principles, The Skinny Rules will help you step away from a reliance on processed foods and the need for so much sweet and salt and step into a newly thin lifestyle. And Bob’s methods couldn't be more straightforward.
  
A virtual GPS to your weight-loss goals, The Skinny Rules takes the mystery out of the process, offering the fastest route to your skinny destination.

My Rating: 9/10

My Comment: I really loved this book. I think that Bob had some really good points. For a more in depth review, look out for my  Fit Thursday post where I will give you all the details of the book and how I will apply them to my own life.

Chalean Extreme Review and NO weigh-in

Due to the Easter weekend and my time of the month arriving, I ddi not do a weigh-in this week. I will however present you with a review on the Chalean Extreme exercise program.

"Get ready to burn fat, boost your metabolism, and get LEAN with  Chalean Extreme. The new, clinically proven fat loss system that uses cardio and resistance training in a brand new way to get you better results in less time. Now you can burn up to 60% of your body fat in just three months and see visible results every 30 days- GUARANTEED!''

Ok I must be honest here, I didn't complete the full programme due to the fact of my tattoo. I also cheated a lot on my diet. But in my defence I did start working so it's a lot harder for me to stay on track. All I need to do is work out a proper eating plan. And I am already posting these weigh-ins which will also help a lot, as extra motivation.

The Chalean extreme program is easy to follow. Don't be scared about adding muscle, ladies. Chalene Johnson makes it very clear that muscle is sexy on woman as well as sexy on men....Bikini season anyone? ;). I did wish that there was more cardio in the programme because, for me, two days of cardio isn't enough. I did get more toned arms and sexy back due to this programme which I am very happy about. I do miss my cardio though, that is why I am going to tackle TurboFire in a week's time.

Chalene is very motivating and she constantly making sure that you have the right form because since you are lifting heavy weights you need to always check you form. I used up to 2 kg dumbbells and resistant band. And she has motivated me to buy heavier weights (my goal is to reach 10 kg by September, when I am doing the P90x programme).

Hope you have a fantastic and healthy weekend, because I know I'm going to be focusing on getting my diet on track. :)
