Thursday – scheduled day off.
Friday – Some days the plan just doesn’t work! Today started out with a shock, my weigh in went over 189 for the first time in a year. It seems that substituting steak wraps (twice) or a sandwich (twice) with a dessert is an inappropriate diet modification. Today was scheduled to be a big chest and back day. However, my trainer and I had a “failure to communicate” and he didn’t show up for the training session. When he arrived at the gym an hour later he realized what had happened. It seems like a big deal to him, but it isn’t to me – stuff happens in life. Life is not smooth, it is lumpy – and we all have to learn the difference between a lump in our oatmeal, a lump in our throat and a lump in a lymph node; and we need to react accordingly.
