70/30

This will be a quick update.  I thought I was on a bit of a weight loss plateau for a couple of weeks and before the third week was up I put my weight-loss into 3rd gear and started focusing more on what I am eating.  I changed my calorie intake from 1400-1600 calories to 1200-1399 calories via jillianmichaels.com (which I love) but for myself my goal is to eat between 1200-1300 calories.  And it's been paying off.  Of course not without working out and pushing myself little by little at the gym.  I've also been focusing more on running and I love it.  I have always hated running, especially for long periods of time, but I love the way I feel afterwards.

The things i've been living by to help me with my weight-loss goal:

1.)  Fitbook (getfitbook.com) - you can also buy it through Amazon.  It is small and convenient, comes with a pen and although it is small it allows you to pack a lot of information in it.  It is well worth the money and I won't be buying anything else ever.

2.)  Zella gathered tote (in blue).  I use it as my fitness/gym bag and I love it.  i needed an upgrade from the lame duffle bag and it works perfect.  There is so much space and pockets at such a great price.  And it is meant for women.

3.)  Good workout clothes is a must...I like the nike dri-fit stuff and they always have pretty good deals at JcPenney!

4.) The Color Run (thecolorrun.com) - I have been following their '8 weeks to a 5k' running plan and boy has it been amazing.

All of the things I have listed have been so helpful for me and I would recommend to anyone else in a heartbeat.  Just remember: it's all mental!
