Fall Time

I am on week 5 of going to the gym 5 times a week. I am a bit tired but feeling strong.

I realized in the middle of last week, when my weight loss was still stagnant, that 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes or weights/abs might not be the right ratio. I have changed it to 45 minutes of cardio with 15-20 minutes of weights/abs and am seeing the difference!

I weighed myself today and I was 219! I am very excited to be out of the 220s.

I am continuing to eat pretty healthy and minimizing drinking alcohol and diet soda. I've been eating a lot of salads, soups and lentils. The weekends are a bit challenging because I have been visiting the boyfriend's parents, who moved close by, and helping them unpack. Eating delicious Indian food always follows, which at times is not the healthiest. However, I am finding that as long as I plan for this and eat light in the morning everything seems to be working out.

My birthday is next week and I was hoping to be 215 by then. It looks like I will be more around 217 or 218. However, I am still happy with this progress.

My next mini goal I am keeping a little high, and it's to be 210 by the end of October.
