I am ~300 over, but again I think I shorted the exercise. It was unplanned but after I was headed toward going over I decided to hit the gym on the way home and maybe work off some stress that way instead of stress eating. My goal is still set to 1500, which is a decent deficit as I still would like to lose to 153. Tomorrow I have a gym training class on the 30 minute circuit from 1:30 until 2:00. I hope that works out well. It is highly regimented in terms of order of machines/exercises and duration. It's in a separate area and you have to start at the beginning and switch when the light goes red and start the next one when the light goes green. You modify the exercise if there is something you can't do because of joint problems or whatever. Anyway, I like the idea of it instead of wandering around randomly or trying to do a routine when machines you want next might be in use.

Then cardio after, probably treadmill. I have started running a little on the treadmill. It seems to be easier on my knees than road/trail running. I can keep HR around 150 and get it up to 170 much easier on the treadmill than the elliptical or Nordic ski machines.

EDIT - Now more like 500 over! Serious time on the treadmill tomorrow. I suspect I will still weigh ~157 on Thursday. Between being conservative on exercise burn and having goal set for a deficit, most of my overages have not done much except get me to about even.
