The scale stayed about the same today at 140.8, but I’ll take it. I’m down almost 5 pounds since the start of this challenge, and I am due for my 2 week weigh in, photos, and measurements this Sunday, so I will not be skipping workouts or going crazy with the food this week.
I did a short session with my trainer today before launching into my own TT workout A immediately afterwards. I had to drop my incline DB bench press down to 35 lbs (boo!) from 40 last week because I didn’t get up early enough to have an energizing snack before my workout and was just too under-carbed to push up that much weight on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. The gym didn’t have 37.5 lb dumbbells, so I had to go all the way down to 35. 
I finished up with 20 minutes of intervals on the stationary bike to make up for the bodyweight intervals I didn’t do last night (didn’t get home from work until 10 pm and decided to just do the non-sweaty TT core work and go to bed).
Food was right on yesterday, and I have all of my meals ready to go again today all the way through meal 6, just in case I have to pull another late night. The company orders food for us if we are staying late, but there is no guarantee of WHAT they will order (Chinese take out with a lot of deep-fried, breaded chicken dishes in sweet sauces and big piles of pizza are common), so I have to prepare and bring up to five meals a day to work to stay within my plan.
Good thing I am used to being different!
I have to motor to the bank today during lunch, but I will try to squeeze in at least 1 mile of walking when I get back. Aside from that, I am finished with all workouts for the day.
I’m still bummed about the 35 lb dumbbells though.
