University weight
Hi,
So I've been in university since September, and I gained about 8-10 lbs, I'm at about 135-138 lbs now.
ANYWAYS, the food in university is too tempting, all the pasta and carby goodness. I'm thinking about just eating salads, fruit/yogurt, cereal, sushi and peanut butter/jam english muffins for the rest of my school year (obviously not in the same day). There really isn't any meat, unless it's fried chicken or inside the pasta. Please do not suggest to me that I buy food from a grocery store because I have no refrigerator/freezer.
So yeah, I want to get down to 125lbs by the end of April or mid-May, & hopefully a size 4-6. Since my schedule is pretty great compared to others, I'm thinking of exercising 4-5 days a week, and 2 of the days will consist of cardio + strength training.
I don't know how much time I should spend at the gym though.
Any advice is helpful~

I am a freshman at college and am super paranoid about the freshman fifteen. I make sure to only eat when i am hungry and only go up for one plate of food. Do not go up for seconds or desert. Pasta is fine a couple times a week, as long as you aren't eating a huge bowl of it. Choose fruits and salads when possible. When you eat salad as a meal, eat a piece of bread with it to satisfy your carb cravings and the salad will fill you up the rest of the way. Drink while eating, water mostly and no soda, and that will help fill you too.
I work out 5 times a week spending 1-2 hours everyday i go to the gym. I run on the treadmill for 20 min and then just do abs and lift the weight-ball and work out my legs and stretch. You can find some exercises for your abs and butt right online pretty much anywhere. If running isn't your thing, use the bike for half an hour or the eliptical for half an hour or do fifteen minutes of each because they both help in slightly different ways. Stick in your ipod and go!
Good luck!!
