A ramble....
I feel like I'm plodding along fairly well with my lifestyle change this time around. Nothing I've done has been very stressful, I rarely feel like I'm missing out on things, I'm just.. continuing. It's actually a really nice feeling, to NOT feel like I'm dieting. I would love to keep this mindset going, because I think it's working for me. Dare I say I'm even quite pleased with it all?
When the kilograms don't look like a lot, I decided to try converting them to pounds, just to see the difference. I started this particular leg of my journey at 95.6kgs (though my highest weight has been 97kgs at the beginning of the year.) 95.6kgs = roughly 210lbs. Yikes. I'm currently hovering at around 87.6kgs. In pounds? About 193.
My weight loss tally in kilograms is 8.2kgs. When I converted it? That's a loss of 17 pounds.!
I think that is amazing. It's really made me feel proud of myself. I like pounds, haha. Bloody kilograms...!! So next time I complain, someone just smack me. ;)
My next mini goal is 85kgs. That will bring me down under the 190lb mark. I'm very excited. I hope to get there by the end of May. That's being reasonable, and brings me closer and closer to my goal weight. Speaking of which, I'm not sure that 80kgs really is my goal. I chose a healthier weight than my starting weight that was actually achievable, as I didn't want to be getting disheartened by choosing a figure way, way lower. If/when I get to this goal, I'll re-evabluate. But for now? I'm feeling good.
As for fitness, I'm happy with my progress. Here is my rough weekly schedule, with some changes here and there:

Tuesdays - Line Dancing
Wednesdays - Couch to 5k training

Sundays - Brisk Walk / C25K / Rest (depends on the day.)
Food so far today: Cereal w/ light milk

Bowl of scrambled eggs w/ light milk and some salt.
Dinner will most likely be a roast with vegetables and potato. Yum. :)
