The 240 Day Update!!

Good Afternoon Everyone and a Wonderful Saturday to you! It snowing here in NC! Which is so strange. Yesterday it was at least 70 degrees.


WooHoo!! It has been 240 days/8 Months since I have started this weight-loss journey. February has been the best month to date. I have been doing Turbo Fire and 30 Day Shred and I still love them! I am officially on day 25 of Turbo Fire. I have really seen so much progress in the last 30 days.

I have been prepping all of my meals and I really love the effects of doing so.

Not only does it keep my calories in check, it helps with saving money and I don't have to figure out what I am eating for the day. My Shakeology keeps my cravings to a minimal. I am still doing a semi-paleo eating program. I do have a cheat day or two on the weekend with eating some starches and sweets.

Things that I have learned/Progress in the last 30 Days:
1. I STILL LOVE TURBO FIRE!! I think I have found my Cardio soul mate! LOL!
2. I am stronger than I ever knew I could be.

3. Food Prepping is AWESOME!
4. I can bounce back even from a horrible couple of weeks! I had to learn that one or 5 bad days does not have to result in continuously eating badly!
5. 30 Day Shred is THE TRUTH!!!
6. Instagram has really become so helpful. I love sharing my progress and having so many new people cheer me on.
7. I love how I feel after doing Turbo Fire, especially the stretching.

Things that I have been doing consistently to lose the weight:

•Drinking a Shakeology Shake every morning (Including flax seeds, some fruits (A Banana every morning and any other fruit that I may have), and my Green pops (Made with Cucumbers, Spinach, Kale and Celery).

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

•Working out at least 6-7 times a week  (Turbo Fire, and 30 Day Shred)

•Eating what I have prepped for the week and using Myfitnesspal.com to track my calories

· Eating less of fruits and more veggies

· Eating Protein with my meals

· Drinking a Protein shake after most of my workouts

•Staying within or under my 1400 daily calories (Averaging 1200 calories). I currently do not eat back my calories from working out. This has changed from 1500 calories that I eating last month.

•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 using stairs.

My new main numbers:

Waist: 37 inches-Down from 51 inches

Lower Stomach: 42inches - Down from 55.34 Inches

Weight: 277lbs- Down from 360lbs

Shirt Size: 14/16 or XL in some shirts- Down from Size 26-28 or 3x
Jeans: Size 18 in most- Down from Size 26.

I have notice big changes in my overall body in 240 days!
