This is a cartoon photo (South Park style) of me and a few co-workers that a member of my software team created. Any guesses on which one is me?

Workout Summary
Vertical Chest Press - 3x10 @ 90 lbs.
Shoulder Press - 3x10 @ 40 lbs.

Abcore - C25, C16, L15, R15 @ 35 lbs.

I finished up with an easy jog on the treadmill - 13 min., 142 calories, .86 miles
Couch to 5k, Week 1 Day 3
I plan to do day 3 tomorrow
Health Status
I finished yesterday well having come in under my calorie target for the day. I was a little high on the saturated fat from the stuffed shells I ate for dinner, but overall I ate well likely due to planning. Something I didn't plan on was walking in to a house where my wife and kids had just gotten done making about 300 chocolate covered pretzels
. I had to restrain myself and I did a pretty good job ... 4 small mini pretzels and 1 pretzel rod. I just got a text message from my wife that she made a couple hundred more chocolate covered pretzels along with 8 dozen cookies 
.
Tonight, I'm not sure what we are having for dinner and I rushed out of the house this morning and just grabbed a celeste individual pizza for lunch. Not such a healthy choice
. I did get a chance to eat a healthy breakfast before leaving for the gym this morning. Given that I had a good workout this morning I should be at or below my calorie target for the day (again depending on dinner).
I did a pre-weigh in this morning and came in two pounds lighter
than my last official weigh-in, so let's home that sticks for tomorrow mornings official weigh-in.
Miscellaneous Ramblings
Not a whole lot of time for miscellaneous ramblings today. Maybe later tonight when I get home from work.

I like your pic...and your motivational quote. My hubby and I met when I was 13 and he was 15, dated for 3 years and have been happily married now for 56 years. And they said it wouldn't last
:)
I guessed the guy in orange due to your mustache/beard ..
Have a wonderful holiday ..

Cool picture! I love the story about you and your wife. My husband and I have been together for 26 years, married for 25. You're doing so well with the weights! My 20 year old son works out at the local WMCA with weights and he says that people marvel at his brief workouts. He goes every day and does one muscle group. He also gets a workout at his job - he works for UPS.

Pretty cool Pic! I have to make my choco covered pretzals either tonight or tomorrow so say a prayer that I can stay away from tasting them ... or atleast too many of them ... LOL. I promise I wont bring any to moms this weekend ... that would be dangerous for all of us.
:D

I'm guessing on the right in the orange.
:y: Btw impressive weights. And I love choco covered pretzels, they are AWESOME! They're even better rolled in crushed up peppermint candies but for your own sanity don't tell your wife that because trust me, they're addictive!!!! 
=D
