I feel much better today. I filed for Unemployment benefits and was qualified immediately, Yeah! Got final paycheck in the mail. Surprise to me. Former training partner actually met me at the gym this morning. She has stood me up numerous times in the past, so this was a surprise also. We had a good workout and supposedly will meet up tomorrow afternoon.

Weight: don't know, still didn't go anywhere near a scale.

Forgot to set my alarm and woke up later than I planned.

8:00 a.m.
1 T-rex, 1 CB
1/2 cup blueberries
1 x-large cup black coffee with pinch of Splenda

Made it to the gym about 8:45, yacked with manager for a bit then hit the dreadmill for steady state cardio.

5 mins warmup @2.8 mph
45 mins flat @ 3.8 mph
5 mins cooldown @2.5 mph

I feel good (in my best James Brown)!!

From there, went to bank to cash final payroll check (yep, I got it) and quik stop @ local sports supply store for BF calipers. They don't carry the things but tried to sell me on Tanita. Not in this lifetime! Anyhoo, back to the house for breakfast.

Meal 1: 10:15 a.m.
~3/4 cup (cooked amount) Cream o Wheat
1 cup Southwestern Eggbeaters

Meal 2: 12:30 p.m.
5 oz baked red snapper
1.5 cups steamed yellow squash

Meal 3: 3:30 p.m.
1 chicken enchilada
couple bottles H2O (I have been guzzling the H2O since starting T-rex)

Meal 4: 5:00 p.m.
2 slices Digiorno WW crust pizza (leftovers)
16 oz glass of Sam's flavored SF water - pretty good BTW

I was going to go back to the gym this afternoon but it ended up storming all afternoon, so I kicked back with a good book. Damn, 3 days and I am already getting lazy!
