Improvements

     I've meant to update this a bunch of times but I kept getting distracted.  I cleaned up my diet last week because I was eating too much and I gained 2 lbs.  I'm sticking with 5 small meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks in between) 1 portion lean protein 1 portion healthy carb try to get veggies in twice a day and Shakeology for breakfast.  I also get 2 cheat meals a week instead of 1 cheat day.  Since I started last Monday I went down 2.6 lbs!  I really love the 2 free meals a week vs a whole day because I would eat unhealthy foods just because I could and I would end up feeling sick by the end of the day. 

     Now for the workout changes, I returned Chalean Extreme and ordered Turbo Fire which I will be starting on Friday because I think it will give me better results.  Since I started Shakeology and CE last month I've lost 2.5 inches from my waist and 3 from my hips which is good, but I feel that I can do better.  I entered the Beachbody Challenge and I really want to get dramatic results!  Turbo Fire doesn't have as much weight lifting, so I am planning to start lifting twice a week and do yoga/pilates once a week.  I've been sticking to my running plan and I've run 5 miles so I know I'll be good for the 10k in October, I'm just not sure I'll meet my goal of under 1 hr because I'm still pretty slow but who knows!  14 more lbs to lose by the end of October.. I'm going to do it!  Hopefully my running will get faster once m weight goes down.  Something else that I am excited about is the decision to get my personal trainer certification!  I think that my life is going in a positive direction and I want to keep it that way :)
