The 60 Day Update!

Hello everyone! I have hit the 60 day mark of my weight-loss journey and I have seen big changes.

Here are some of the changes:

 •I can now run up my stairs and don't give out of breath going up or down.

 •I can now fit in my size 22 dress pants (from a size 26)

 •I can now do a 5 mile Walk-Away-The-Pounds workout

 •I am feeling great in general

 •I am getting more confidence, especially when I am in front of a large crowd

So I love these changes and will keep it up! I really would like to reach my goal slowly over time.

The things that I have been doing consistently to lose the weight:

•Drinking one of my Shakeology Shakes every morning (Including Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, and some fruits)

•Drinking on average 16 cups of water (equivalent to 128oz)

•Working out at least 4-6 times a week (walking, WATP DVDs)

•Eating what I want but using Myfitnesspal.com to track my calories

• Eating a lot of fruit and veggies
• Eating Protein with my meals

•Staying within my 1500 daily calories. That includes the calories used from working out. (I initially was not eating the calories that I lost from working out and I was not seeing results~ For Example: I need to eat 1500 calories, complete a workout that was 500 calories lost, and I only eat 1500 calories. In the end I was only putting in 1000 calories, which was not enough to lose weight every week.)

•Use the general rule to only eat half of my meal when going out to restaurants to eat

• I keep moving by parking a little farther from where I am going and taking swimming lessons
