• Alright, during a long business lunch and throughout the afternoon, I had a half a ham sandwich on whole wheat bread, a bunch of really good fruit, and a lot of this amazing salad with mixed greens, bleu cheese, dried cranberries, pecans, and pomegranate vinaigrette. I could not stop going back for salad, damn it. I have NO idea on the calories, probably 1000 total? Bleu cheese isn't too bad and I tried to not have a lot of that, but pecans are pretty caloric, and I ahd a lot fo them, and no matter how careful I was with the dressing it adds up.

Still busy

I am still really swamped. Been doing well last couple of days, btu my right medial deltoid is really hurting. My injury from a couple years ago (fell down some stairs) was never properly treated, and I am suffering for it now. It won't prevent the weight loss but will affect the muscle gain that is my long term goal.
