Like many of us I'm not in my peak physical condition and struggle with motivation to eat better, work out, etc. Having been recently selected to team JRod for #TheGauntlet though I decided to use this as my motivation to both live better and play better. So follow along with me as I track my progress and try to Live Better & Play Better.
Yes I know there is a dedicated fitness thread, but this is both fitness and skill related and I didn't want to clog the other thread with what will, hopefully, be frequent updates.
Day 0 - 7/12/15
While reflecting on my golf game and what I wanted to work on in preparation I also started thinking about my fitness level. I've made the decision that over the next few months I will work hard on my game and my personal health. I mentioned all this to my wife and her comment was "Well why aren't you at the range?". Hit about 80 balls and spent 40 minutes on the putting green. As always driver was my killer and where I need to spend a lot of time before Cog Hill. A bonus to the range session was that my stepson wanted to come with and he hits the ball pretty damn well for never really showing much interest.

Bought a FitBit today and enrolled in, and had, my first Yoga class ever. The class went well! I really enjoyed it and I worked up one hell of a sweat. Didn't get to do much golf practice itself in, but felt good about the day.
