I go back to work tomorrow...ah, having 2 weeks off was WONDERFUL! But, I am ready to get back into a routine.

Monday/Wednesday/and maybe Friday, I will be lifting 2x/day. I will be doing my own weight workout in the early morning, then after work, I'll be doing ChaLEAN extreme with some ladies at the gym.

Do ya'll think it's bad if I lift 2x/day? Each lifting workout will be about 30 min. long.
Is your name Celesta? That's pretty. I'm glad I went back and looked again as I was initially thinking Celeste. I'm sure you just love that....

I saw your question on the challenge thread but thought I'd pop over to your log and say hi and answer here. I think doing two weight training programs at the same time will mean you will get nowhere fast and you won't be able to do either one well. Especially from what I've heard of Chalene Extreme if you're going to do it right it'll be intense and involve heavy weights during some of the cycles. So my advice would be to pick one or the other. If doing Chalene as a group appeals to you the most do that first. You can always go back to your usual morning lifting routine when you're done with Chalene or if it doesn't work out. If the group thing doesn't matter pick whichever program appeals to the most and matches your goals.

Chalene's program sounds interesting and good. I've never used any of Beachbody's stuff although I do like exercise videos on occasion. My latest fave is Amy Bento although I have trouble with some of her cardio. I've done a lot of Jari Love's stuff and some Cathy Friedrich. I have some Tracey Staehle vid's too but I don't use them as much.

Welcome to JP and the challenge.
