Are you a gambling man? Do you feel lucky? Well do you?
Weather today was 60% and up of rain and thunderstorms. It turned out to be a great day. We won this time.
I went to the gym first thing this morning and was able to run. I did a mile in 12:30, walked 2.5 minutes then jogged another 5 minutes, walked 3 jogged 5 and walked 2 for 30 minutes total on the treadmill. Not bad. I then followed up on the elliptical machine for another 30 minutes. I felt like I had a good workout. I had a good sweat and my muscles let me know I worked them.
On the way home I did some grocery shopping and finally got home to enjoy breakfast.
4 egg whites, 2 morningstar sausages, 5 mini pancakes and an orange— 432 calories
It fueled my body and hit the shower to get ready to conquer the day. The sky was clowdy so I caught up on some tv and websites that I have been missing and before I knew it it was lunch time.
I had some ground turkey meatloaf, mashed red potatoes, broccoli, and some brown gravy for 468 calories.

Tonight we made chicken breast, Cheese filled tortellini, sun dried alfredo sauce, and we added red pepper, 2 bunches of asparagus and some portobello mushrooms.
This meal was vegitable-rific. I ate about 750 calories for my mail meal. I used Livestrong.com to estimate the ingerients and portions to come up with the estimate. We had a fruit salad with yogurt for dessert.
The Strawberries and grapes covered in yogurt don’t look all that great but boy was it tasty! This had about another 70-100 calories.
My totals for the day was 2,410 calories. This included a snack of jif peanut butter and honey with an apple as well as a special K fruit crisp bar I shared with my wife during the walk. I probably should have skipped the peanut butter but it was something I wanted.
Tomorrow I am back on the construction site. It is going to be interesting. The guys have been going 7 days a week while I was on vacation. I will not be staying late since I will need to continue my focus on getting back to a healthy weight and conditioning. I expect my eating with be real
