Hi ladies of health! I am excited to join your group and blog along with you and share my experiences. This week was awesome! I am currently training at Alpha Co Fitness in Chico, CA. My friend Micah Hankins started Alpha Co and has been doing personal training since 1997. I am currently taking one of his Hybrid classes two days a week...Tues/Thurs from 6-7pm. We do a mixture of different things including martial arts and strength training using kettle bells, leverage clubs, pulling tires, and using sand bags...just to name a few things. It is about more than just body at Alpha Co; it is about spirit as well. We help each other, encourage each other, and work hard to get the results we want. I am also a member of a local gym in Chico, where I do cardio on Monday and Wednesday evenings. On the weekends I try to get out to the Lower Bidwell Park area and run out in the beautiful parks setting. Fridays and Sundays are usually my day of rest.
Nutrition is also such a big part of our journey. I, like Annie, have been trying to cut back on the carbs and not consume them in the evenings. I focus on getting a lot of protein in my body to help fuel my training and build my muscles. I try to take in, in grams, half my body weight of protein a day. So, right now I am at 168lbs, so I am trying to get at least 84 grams of protein a day. I have lost 18 lbs to this point over the last 2 months and I am aiming for another 18 lbs. But, weight loss is not my main focus. Feeling strong in body and spirit is my ultimate goal.
Get out in the sunshine this weekend and do something that makes you feel good. Work up a sweat!
Good things!

Hello ladies...thank you all for the warm welcome:) Cindi, to answer your question, Annie and I went to Woodland High together. I was born and raised in Woodland and my family has been there for over 60 years. I am so excited to share in this journey with you all! Have a great week:)
