Our guests have left. Our house is almost back into the normal swing of things. Hey it has been a great two weeks. I went to the gym this morning and started out feeling good. While jogging my right knee was not feeling right after about 5 minutes. It felt like it was going to buckle. I decided to switch to walking at incline to take some pressure off it. I stopped at 15 minutes then moved to the elliptical trainer. I did 15 more minutes on the stationary bike. Not a bad workout but I am concerned about my knee. It did not botter me the rest of the day so I will see what is up tomorrow.
Eating was mostly good today. With the company visit my meal times are all out of wack and I need to cut about 500 calories from my days. Dinner was eating takout from Atilla’s greek food. We had gyros and hummus. The meal turned into something larger than it needed to be. My wife and I shared a rice pudding for dessert. In the end I ate 2,700 calories. I did go to the gym twice today but with the rain I did not go hiking or do anything to justify eating more calories. My afternoon workout was promising. I did 15 minutes on the dual range stepper/elliptical machine and felt no discomfort in my knee. After that warm up I hit the weights.

That felt like a good amount of lifting. I did not push as heavy weights in some of the exercises but I did more types of exercises than normal. Tomorrow will be the first morning waking up not worring about friends staying ov
