    No offense, but it sounds like you need a life. A job, a hobby, volunteer for some organisation you like, work on your education, travel, do some house projects, read some books, get out with friends more...
    If I loved one wrote down this schedule, to this precision and with these plans, I would urge this person to talk to a therapist ASAP.

    Assuming you are also not lying about your age in your profile, even more reason to talk to a medical health professional. What have you been doing in your life so far? Job? Social life? Family?

    Why not run the 2 miles there and back and skip the other crap and do your weight lifting and be done in 2 hours including travel.

    Also, cook something man. Did you buy stock in protein powder? You don't need those for weight loss.

    Your lack sleep is disturbing.

    There is just... so much wrong with this, I almost don't know where to start.
    Way too much gym time. I would only go for 60-90 minutes to do weights (and why an hour of machines, and then an hour of free weights?? Makes no sense). Then do some walking/hiking/running at the lake. Done.

    As someone else mentioned, spend the rest of your time doing something for yourself that doesn't involve rigid exercise. Take up a hobby, learn to cook (and ditch all the protein powder), make some friends, read a good book - the opportunities are endless.
    And seriously - why the heck aren't you sleeping more??

    I feel like this is a joke.

    Spending more time sleeping than training is a pretty good rule of thumb.

    Only you can answer this! If you feel it's too much then it is. If you feel worn down and tired that is your bodies way of saying you're doing too much. Only you know.

    This is the equivalent of a runner trying to run a full marathon every day.

    Way too much. Eat some real food, hit some weights and cut out some of that cardio-not all just some. Don't bog yourself down with all those meaningless details. Also, if you don't have to work, get some more sleep. At 56 years old, there is no reason to beat yourself up like this...

    If I didn't have to work until 2017, I'd be travelling and eating and cycling around the world ... not consuming protein shakes or spending my days in a gym.

    If you're part time at Disney and a softball ump then this can't be every single day. This may work for a few days but you're going to get burned out and cause more harm than good. Just like everything in life, balance is key.
