There are times when I feel like I am okay – that things are going good and that sometimes, things can only get better for me.
Then there are the other times when I feel like the floor is crumbling away beneath my feet and I don’t know how to keep myself from falling. Tonight is one of those nights.
I broke down and ordered ChaLean Extreme about a week ago. I wasn’t going to, but the treadmill I wanted to get went up in price by $300! Doh.
The unboxing was very exciting. The packaging is pretty slick. The booklets are really well made and quite professional looking. The photography in the recipe book is pretty good actually. The production value of all of this was kind of surprising to me. I mean, the packaging itself is quite good.
I have not previewed or done any of the workouts yet as I had pretty much gotten 2 hours of sleep the night before the package arrived and well, I just started a cycle today, if you know what I mean.
The DVD’s don’t come in individual cases like other workouts. Instead they are all placed in a booklet for easy reference. I opened the booklet up and I was like, “Hey! There’s a DVD missing!” I then realized that the missing DVD was the fabled 7th workout DVD which I think you can order separately, but it’s something like $50(!). It didn’t come up as an option when I was checking out, but I wouldn’t have gotten it anyways.
I just ordered the basic set as I already have resistance bands and the price to get bands, weighted gloves and the 7th DVD is just ridiculous.
I was able to use a coupon code, but I don’t want to publish it in case it gets taken away because it wouldn’t be secret anymore. If you want it, just leave a comment or send me an email via the contact form above and I will email it to you.
I am going to try something this year. I suppose this might be my resolution for this year. But I am going to try to take a picture a day in 2009. I have a feeling I am going to be taking a lot of pictures of my cat. Oh and you can view the photoset here. I probably won’t be uploading the new pictures everyday – but maybe once a week or so.
