Back at It

Well folks, it's been 4 months since my last blog post. I promised that I was going to be honest because that is the nature of this blog- real life shit as it relates to fitness...

I adopted a dog shortly after my last post. One would this that would help not hinder my workouts, but let me tell you, it was super stressful at first. I stopped most of my extra curricular activities in leu of getting used to taking care of the new being in my life.

In addition too the pup, I entered a fairly severe depression. We were talking life and death here- uncool. So my desire to put fitness first, took the back seat.

What's happening today? Well I have a friend who is a certified personal trainer... Plug the awesomeness of Jeri Jirsa now!!! I inquired within. She's gonna work with me to get my health and fitness back in order!

That's where I'm headed as I write this, to my first session. We are gonna go over my goals and come up with a plan. This session should not be too crazy. However, it's a step in the right direction, which I am STOKED about!

When I finish todays session I will finish this post with how it went...

Alright!!! Session had and compleat! We went over my health issues and goals. I want to focus on leg strength and core strength. Along with overall body fat reduction.

We did some work with the rolly foam thing... Oh My Gosh that hurt! But it's a great way of breaking up muscle fiber and working out knots. I felt looser after the bit that we did! Yay!

Overall I'm super excited about this next step in my fitness goals. I'm going to see Jeri 2x per week, sat&wed, and work out independently on probably Mondays- but at least one other day a week.

The dreaded numbers (dot dot dot)
305lbs. I was expecting this, so as suck as it is, I'm not super surprised. We agreed too only weight myself once a month. I'm going to take my scale at home and smash- no gift it to a friend. Ha! I do not need to obsess over numbers.

Here I go... Embarking on a new journey in my life. I'm ready and I'm willing.

Stay tuned for future updates!!!
