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!!!
