And that’s how you start a new year! Got a shockingly good night of rest, didn’t overdo anything, and woke up to hit the gym with a great New Year’s Day workout…

New Year’s Day Workout Summary
We had an great yet mellow family evening at home for New Year’s Eve, and we just about dozed off before the ball dropped. We tuned in for the New York TV feed of the Times Square festivities and just managed to stay awake for it. Close enough for us, and we never even popped a bottle of champagne, so there was minimal alcohol intake (as in just one drink). I’ll be the first to admit that I still nearly convinced myself to lay in bed rather than hit the gym, but I felt great, had a good amount of motivation, mental wheels were spinning, and I didn’t want to have procrastination be my first impulse of the new year, so… Down the the gym for a rather fantastic workout. Plus, my very first real physical movement of 2017 was squats, so that’s got to say something about how great the new year is going to me. LOL!
