Diwali is the biggest hindu festival, commemorating different events,
depending on who you ask. Lots of lit lamps and the like. As big in
India as Christmas is over here. Lots of sweets.

Godaiko is in the Oak Valley shopping center, right across from Meijer on
Ann Arbor - Saline road. It's the biggest oriental grocery in Ann Arbor,
although the Plymouth Road one probably fits almost as much stuff into 3/4
the space. :)
The soymilk I bought is extremely fresh tasting, for lack of a better term.
Seems to taste like tofu, not really like the big-name commercial stuff. Not
sure how I feel about it yet - soy/rice milks tend to be an acquired taste.

Is Diwali a lunar based holiday, or the same day on the solar
calendar?

Lunar based. The Hindu calendar is Lunar based. Last year Diwali was sometime
in early November.
Today is the actual day for Diwali. We're having a party this evening, so I'm
prolly going to starve myself in anticipation. Or not. Aunt from NJ has sent
me lots of fattenning Indian goodies. Looks like the fiance is going to ome
in handy eating them.
I have to fit in a workout sometime between now and 6:30 pm. Hopefully, I
don't get a call from work :P

Lots of Indian sweets and friend stuff.
Did not end up going to the party on Saturday, so saved some calories
there. However, did end up going for lunch yesterday, so though it may
have added some extra calories, it wasn't much compared to party-type
food.
Soy milk with cereal is definitely yummy. Thanks for sharing
that "recipe", remmers.

Try Chinese foodstores for soymilk. Foodland on Carpenter has both
unsweetened and sweetened (unflavored) half gallons. Also 'soy pudding' to
which you can add flavors (soft tofu).

Hooray Sapna! I am sure you also feel a lot stronger and healthier too.
I have gained at least 10 pounds in only 2 months. Let's keep trading.
Another 10 pounds?

Thanks guys. Yes, I feel healthier, and stronger, and I like the way
some of my old clothes look on me now.
That was 10 lbs in 1 month yes. I like the pace I set, and hopefully
it will continue.
However, yesterday, I slacked. Didn't go to the gym, but then, didn't
eat much either. This morning's gym aerobic workout was 50 minutes
instead of the usual 60, but at a slightly higher resistance. And
postponed my workout till tomorrow. Also tonight there shall be
decadent drinking in honor of our exiting team-lead

That is wicked awesome. The weight loss, not the decadent drinking.

Adopting it as a life-style is a goal. I might have Chipotle for lunch
today, again in honor of the exiting team-lead. Decadent drinking has
been postponed till tomorrow, which is just as well. I can "work from
home" Friday.
Another thing I've noticed that my menstrual cramps, which are usually
terrible on the first day of my period, were non-existant this month.
Did not experience the fatigue, aching joints and bloating either.
Could it be the exercise?

resp:245 I should probably do some tape measurements to be sure. It's
lbs. numbers-- now the fat % is creeping down a little.
Tomorrow, I go see my sleep doctor... I hope to get a C-PAP soon...
here's hoping some better sleep will make it easier to step up the
exercise.

215 reminds me I have to go for today's walk, despite little sleep. Getting
more exercise usually helps one to sleep better.

I won't be going to be gym today, but I'm doing house cleaning, so
that's going to be my work out for today, yesterday was a wash since I
worked until I went to an event, so it's been since Monday. I'm a
little heavier than I was a few weeks ago, but it's currently do to a
little extra water weight that is my monthly right as a member of the
female gender, as well as an increase in muscle.
