I am not on a diet although I am trying to make better decisions with food. I started at 220 and the scale says 215 am I doing the right things or maybe I just am trying to rush just very frustrating.

I agree that 5 lbs is good.
There's a saying that goes "You can't outrun your fork" which means exercise will not usually bring weight loss unless you change your eating habits. It doesn't require a strict diet. As you said, you are making better decisions with food. Apparently you are making the right decisions, and have lost 5 lbs. That does not mean you should stop exercising. Exercise is important for our health and well-being. Keep making the good food decisions!
