We're in the midst of the NBA Finals, which calls for a trip to TD Garden.

I noticed that this week marked the 6 month mark since I started working with Alexa, my trainer via All-Tru Health and Performance. The main reason I took notice? I saw in the Trainerize app that Thursday was the 100th workout since the beginning of December. For those gym-rats among us, that’s no big deal. For me - it’s a big deal!

  • One hundred intense workouts - a mix of HIIT, dumbbells, body-weight.
  • Between 16-17 workouts a month.
  • About 4 times a week.
  • Paired with a 1750-2000 calorie, 40/20/40 carb/fat/protein macro.

That’s a level of commitment to physical activity I’ve never previously achieved, so you could say I’m a little proud of myself. After 6 months the results have been excellent – I’ve dropped 25 lbs of fat, put on 10 lbs of muscle, and, most importantly, I feel great. There’s more I could say but I’ll save that for after the next 6 months. This is only the start.

(One note: big ups to Alexa for keeping me on point for the last 6 months. She’s been the steadying and encouraging force I’ve needed.)
