Exercise - My goal was to hit 2000 Cal again.  I came a little bit short of that.  I don't think there was enough fuel in the engine this morning.  Lots of excuses, somewhere to be at Noon, only 5 hours sleep, full afternoon schedule to distract me, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, the plan was to get to the gym at 9, stay until Noon and do about 600, 800, 600 Cal across the 3 hours.
In reality, I got the the gym at 9:20, and left around 11:45.  I still got in about 1400 Cal or so, but I pooped out around there.  So far this week my burn has been really good, so I think I'm where I want to be, but I need to avoid two things:
#1 - overconfidence - good weight loss on Tuesday =/= good weight loss on Saturday (I have 4 days to blow it)
#2 - lose the ability to maintain balance in my life and feel good with the successes I'm having, i.e. self destruction

The solution?  Eat what I'm supposed to eat and work out hard every day.
