What I'm doing these days

First off, a weight update: down 2.2 pounds from last week, current weight 178 pounds.

Food: I am eating 6 times per day: three meals plus a mid morning snack, mid afternoon snack, and a very small evening snack. I am focusing on getting plenty of vegetables and eating lower in carbs. I do not strictly count calories (or anything), but I do figure out rough amounts. I also will use the food scale  as needed - especially for my evening snack where it would be very easy to eyeball way too much!

Exercise: I have fallen into what I think of as the 4-3-2 plan. I did NOT sit down and come up with this, it just seems to work out this way, and it works for me! Lol I do kettlebells every other day, so some weeks I do 3 workouts and some I do 4. I generally do 2 or 3 elliptical workouts, based on what is going on at work. And I've been getting in 2 swim sessions per week.

Kettlebells are a 25 minute workout, elliptical and swimming are 30 - so that works out to 4.5 hours of exercise. I also take 1 or 2 walks per day while I am at the office. It's a lot of activity, but it's broken up into reasonable chunks. Sometimes I think there are other things I'd like to add in, but this is working for me now and I don't feel trying to pile more on top is realistic right now.

I hope you have a great weekend!
