On My Way To A New Me!

Greetings! 

I probably don't have anyone actually reading this, but if I do, thanks for stopping by.  In my last post, I mentioned goals for 2016.  We are now 12 days into 2016 and I think I am doing pretty well.  So far for 2016 I have not had any coffee or soda/pop.  Honestly, I don't really miss it.  I still have my tea each morning (and usually afternoon as well).  It's mostly for me just about finding an alternative to water.

Another goal I mentioned was establishing a workout routine.  I did a little research and discovered a newer program in our town through our local medical facility.  It's called EXOS Team Rally.  I chose to start with just 2 sessions a week, as it's pretty intense for a full hour each session.  There are 4 trainers that you rotate with.  It's a 12 week program (and you can continue on for as long as you want).  I started Saturday, and WOW!!!! It kicked my butt.  I was feeling it the rest of the day and into Sunday.  But I didn't let that stop me.... I went again last night!  I actually find I do better in a structured environment, with someone there that is monitoring what I am doing (both for accountability and for safety/effectiveness).  I plan to go again tomorrow night.  What I like about this program is that they are going to conduct a health assessment (which I am doing tomorrow), and then they do it again throughout the program so you can track more than just pounds lost.  I'll be able to see how much body fat I lose, endurance gained, etc.  I'm really excited about this!!!
