The Magic of Tequila

We're starting our second week of eating clean and we've made a few interesting discoveries--the best of which is the health benefits of tequila! During the first week of our health regimen, we still had a few glasses of wine in the evening. While we were staying on track of our calory count, the weight loss was slow. Turns out that even a few glasses of wine can really slow down weight loss results.

After doing some investigation, we stumbled on a few articles that mentioned the health benefits of tequila. So, we switched from white wine to tequila and soda and our weight has been steadily dropping. I've now lost nearly four pounds in just under two weeks.

Here are a few other tactics we've implemented:

1. We count our calories using My Fitness Pal (my goal is around 1500 calories a day).
2. I've started wearing my Garmin VivoFit band again which reminds me to get up and move around every hour.
3. We try not to eat snacks after dinner with the exception of some nuts right before bed.
4. We're both logging at least six miles on the upright bike every day. I do a high-intensity interval work out every other day.
5. On cheat days, we eat the foods that we want but we still stick to our caloric budget.

We could probably lose weight faster by not drinking at all but for now, we're really happy with the progress we're making. Salud!
