Things are continuing along just fine. Today at the gym an aquantance I used to see almost daily walking the halls at work stopped over to talk with me. She commented on my weight loss and said she almost did not recognize me. That was cool. She works at a local site and is not usually at the gym anymore. That has been the second time someone commented on my changes and weight loss. Cool deal.
Today I was a running late kind of day. I overslept since I se my alarm wrong. I got up when my wife work me, only a couple minutes before I am usually leaving for work. I rushed through getting ready and packing food for today. I made it out of the house in record time but I was still 15 minutes behind where I should be. I shortened my workout to 45 minutes doing 25 minutes on the stair stepper then 20 minutes on the lower body ellitical machine. It was hot in the gym and I was sweating but it was not a top ten best workout ever. I continued through the day and made it to the afternoon workout. I jogged a mile then jumped into the weights.

135lbs was used at each of the 8 positions
(8)-5
(7)-6
(6,5,4)-8

That did it for the day. The benches were full so we decided to do the multi-position smith presses for variety as a substitute to regular presses. It felt good to do something slightly different.
Keeping the theme of running late, I left the gym later thannormal. That in of itself is not bad but I needed to get to a store to buy some vitamins. After that I needed to hit a grocery store to get food for tonight and the rest of the week. I did not get home until 6:20 and had to put food away and take a quick shower to get the funk off me. Dinner was later and here I am typing this blog late. That is OK I will set my clock right and get tomorrow started right.
Total calories for the day were 2,216. tonights dinner was salmon over salad with vinegar as the dressing. My nutritional ratio for the day was 50% carbs, 26 % protein and 24 % fat. I consumed 140 grams of protein, 271 grams of carbs and 55 grams of fat. Looks like I needed more protein and less carbs. Fat intake was ok. I should have tried to balance my meals better today but All I ate was healthy
