20 Pound Goal Hit, Onward to 30

I had a good moment this morning, as I finally hit a 20 pound loss mark on the scale since my doctor visit back in late February.  It has been a good process since then to keep dropping some weight steadily.  

One of the big keys has been dieting correctly and watching the calories, plus also factoring in my activity levels of cardio and strength training and the calories they burn as well. 

I've noticed kettlebell swings and early morning walks have been working well for me.  If I don't have time for a run, a swings workout does quite well in fitting the need and also churning up the calories in a short amount of time.  Early morning walks are a great way for me to get in a half-hour or so of activity right away and also burns up some calories as well, about a rate of 10 per minute for me.  Its nice to start the day with a 300 calorie burn from a 30 minute walk.  Walking briskly is a great way to get the heart rate in the training zone and not fatigue you a lot as you're starting your day. 

Brief workouts have been a big part of this journey and will stay as a part of it too.  Find a lot of brief workout structures with the Fit XT program I've developed.
