Fitness & Training Update

After another 9 weeks of the FIT (Fitness Institute of Texas) program, I'm happy to find I've lost another 6 pounds and gained 2 more pounds of muscle mass! This brings me back to my ideal weight, and I am so pleased that I stuck with the program and got the results I was hoping for. I have to thank the trainers at FIT and my employer, Texas Medical Association, for working together to bring this program to my work place. I honestly don't think I would have done this if I had to go offsite to do it. However, since I am seeing positive results, I independently enrolled in a boot camp that meets on Saturday mornings, so I've augmented my program and I do believe that made the difference in my gaining more muscle mass. I still have my weekly yoga class, which I love, and I ran my first-ever 3 mile race this past weekend. I honestly feel healthier and stronger than I have in years, and I give complete credit to the exercise and nutrition habits I've gained since starting FIT last August. I haven't given up everything, though! I still enjoy a glass (or two!) of wine in the evenings, and love a pint of good dark beer. But the good news is I can still enjoy these things and maintain my weight loss and fitness level by continuing the good techniques and healthy choices I've learned from my FIT classes. I feel like I'm 23 again!
