an empty place v3.5

A couple years ago, M and I decided to do the Body For Life program together and try to help each other along. We made it about half way through the 12 week program before life stepped in and slapped us around. Well, last week we decided to do it again. The first day wasn't too bad food-wise and was to be upper body training. I went to the spa with M and helped her through her routine, but then there wasn't enough time for me to get in a workout. Because my weights, which have become community property, were living at my best friend's house I was out of luck. The next day M comes down with a migraine and there's no cardio that day. I forget exactly what the deal was but we decided to make it a trial week.

So this week became the official Week One of our second venture into B4L. I was able to get the weights back over to my place and got everything set up in the weightroom so "Hell or High Water" and all that. Yeah right. Monday's meals went great for M but I forgot mine at home and what I bought at the local grocer's sucked. Monday's workout never happened - we had M's nephew until late so neither of us got to workout. Tuesday's meals went a bit better but M came down with another migraine and Thing One was pretty sick. No workout. Today, I not only forgot my meals but I doubt very seriously I will be doing Monday's upper body, Tuesday's cardio, and today's lower body workout.

But there's hope, apparently the FDA has approved a super fat pill that, other than awarding you the nickname "greasey cheeks" will also block upto about 200 calories worth of fat (about 22 grams) per meal. That's like four Twinkies for free! What would happen if you added a carb blocker too? Oh the humanity!
