Today, I’ve officially lost 30 pounds in 3 1/2 months! I’m down to my ideal body weight, and feeling great. Here are a few things I learned.
1. You can’t out exercise a bad diet. I love to work out, but the reality if you have to manage the number of calories you intake.

2. Walking REALLY matters! As a runner, I was stunned by this because it doesn’t feel like “real” exercise to me, but getting your step count between 5000-8000 will lead to real weight loss.
You can go for a 45 minute walk and get 400 calories refunded.

3/ After you become mindful of what you eat, you desire way less food.
I went on vacation and ate what I wanted while still recording it. I was still WAY under 2000 calories a day. Because of the extra walking, I actually LOST four pounds on vacation while eating out every meal.

4/ Anyway, disclosure that I’m privileged enough to be slender in build. The reason I was overweight was reconstructive knee surgery and 3 years of political campaigning.
So, this was just resetting where I was supposed to be. But these tools helped get me there.
