What been happening

I got lazy Sat. and Sunday and didn't do any exercise, though I did ok with eating for the most part. I am not totally where I want to be with my nutrition but I am getting there. I dunno if its just me but I think I am noticing slight changes when I look in the mirror too. You be the judge when I post a new pic on Wed.  I am nervous to weigh in, what if I haven't lost any?  I should have considering the calories consumed and burned but I am afraid, we'll see. Also I decided I need to post on here everyday with the breakdown of my calories consumed, percentages of protein, carbs and fat, as well as what exercise I did. 

Today I went to the gym with my mom instead of my wife and we did a decent back and bicep workout followed by 20 min. of high intensity cardio on the treadmill. 
Back:
4 sets of lat pull downs heavy sets at 185 LBS
4 sets of machine row, not sure what my heavy set weight was but it was tough.
Biceps
4 sets of straight bar cable curls heavy set at 75 LBS
3 sets of dumbell curls heavy set at 40 LBS then 45 LBS

this was interesting, I did 45 LBS a couple weeks ago, today I warmed up at 40 LBS then went to 45 for the second set and couldn't even get one rep in so I went back to 40 LBS, did 6 reps, then tried 45 again and got myself pumped and ended up getting 5 reps in at 45 after having not even been able to do one a few min. earlier. 

My mom could barely handle 20 min. on the treadmill, I had her walking only 3-3.5 mph and occasionally doing hills, but it was much tougher on her than the neighborhood stroll she is used to. This is going to be key to her losing weight, high intensity. 

Nutrition: 
1651 Calories
38 % protein
34% carbs
27% fat

This would have been more protein and less carbs and fat but my wife brought me home costa vida which I ate half of and will have the other half tomorrow.
