HYROX updates

    Showing up on the weekend.

    Week one with my new trainer is in the books. Saturday started with a Peloton ride while my animals quietly judged my pace, and Sunday morning was the gym. I'm also logging every meal now by snapping a photo of my plate, which has been the easiest way to keep my food honest. The one curveball was dressing up like Clark Kent for an 11 PM DJ set when I'm usually asleep by 9:30. Worth it, but sleep is part of training too. Three months to Amsterdam.

    Where it starts.

    Two years ago I started taking care of myself. Real food, the gym, and a lot of showing up. I'm down over 90 pounds and gained a little muscle. Then my coworkers made me eat too much at lunch, so I signed up for HYROX Amsterdam. My new trainer asked my goals and I told him I'm here for the people of Instagram, not my health. January 28 is the test. Hold me to it.
