Muscles!!

I just started working with a coach!
So much has gone on in the last month that I've really struggled with consistency. This is critically important because consistency breeds results...so, I have now committed to 16 weeks of intense physical training!! FOUR MONTHS!! Such a long time! My food intake will remain pretty similar to what it was like before I started working with a coach.  I'll be eating eggs, oats, greens, fruit, veggies, and lean proteins like before, but my workout schedule is definitely being kicked up a notch, or three, or five!
I had always heard that working with a coach/trainer makes your push yourself harder than you can on your own so that's part of the appeal of working with a coach.  The workouts aren't longer than usual, but they are more intense and I'll be working out more regularly/often.
The main reason I think working with a coach will be helpful for me is the accountability factor.  Knowing that there is someone I have to answer to each week who will be checking my consistency and checking my progress is a huge motivator for me.  I hate to disappoint.  I love to accomplish what I set out to accomplish.  I love meeting or exceeding expectations.  This is gonna be great!!
I don't have a huge sample size yet but if the rest of the workouts are as intense as yesterday's workouts, I will definitely see changes in my body.  It feels great to be doing something new that challenges me in ways I haven't been challenged before. I had been looking forward to taking on this challenge for weeks but things kept getting in the way. First I had a couple of concerns about my health come up at a doctor's appointment that I needed to investigate a bit further.  But a few pokes, pricks and other exams later I got the all clear. The day this stops being about improving my body and health is the day I've gone too far!!  I see my doctors regularly to make sure my health is improving and not being jeopardized. Once the doctor stuff was resolved, then I had an intense trial class 1,000 miles away that kept me so busy I was sleeping 4 hours a night. UGH.  It was a great learning experience and great opportunity to get to know many other people in the company but I was so exhausted when I returned home that I slept about 11 hours straight.  But now I'm ready and able to commit 100% and take on this challenge! I can't wait to share my thoughts and progress during this challenge! More to come y'all!!
