The morning was 2 x 30-min sessions on the treadmill. In the afternoon I did a 15-min warm-up on the treadmill, followed by:

A: Deadlift - 20/15, 25/15
B1: Dumbbell Shoulder Press - 16/15, 20/15
B2: Pullover - 14/15, 16/15
C1: Lunge - 10/15, 14/15
C2: Swiss-ball Crunch - 8, 8

Followed by a 15-min treadmill set.

I still feel like I should add more weight faster on the deadlift. However, I'm trying to remind myself that I'm not as fit as I think I am. We'll see how I feel in the morning. The other weights feel hard enough that I'm pushing it, especially the pullover. Of course it could just be that the deadlift is first, when I'm not so tired.

I made a point to try hitting 2600 calories today, and came pretty close. It's harder than you might think. I've worked hard on making lower calorie meals for months and staying away from snack food. Now I'm trying to find high protein additions/snacks, as well as using up meals / soups already made.
