Its those little things....

Woke up late this morning and didnt have time to make breakfast. On top of that, I forgot to grab my mid morning meal before I rushed out the door.

So by 9, I am starving. Pissed off about missing my meals. (Makes me feel like my workout the day before was worthless).

I finally decide that I have no other choice but to head to the vending machines and find some peanuts or something to eat.

Get there, and my choices are Pop Tarts, Zingers, Little Gems, or Twinkies. I stand there for a moment, stomach grumbling. Nothing seems worth it.

Then i notice something out of the corner of my eye. In the refrigerated machine (usually has stuff that can be microwaved) there is a turkey breast pita pocket. I hadnt even thought to look there because they usually have food that needs to be cooked, and I couldnt take that much time without getting into trouble.

Grabbed it up, took it back to my desk, and wolfed it down. Between 6-8oz shaved turkey breast (a guess), a pita pocket, romain lettuce, and some mayo. Helluva lot better than a twinkie.

You should always make enough time to prepare meals. . . .not having enough time is no excuse.

im going to have to dissagree with this one. things happen, its what life is all about. missing 1 meal or two occasionally is ok. just as long as it doesnt become a habbit.

I have a box at my desk filled with cans of tuna, protein bars, nuts, rice cakes and other food. I even keep proetin shakes, hardboiled eggs, condiments, etcetera in the break room fridge. I occasionally forget to bring my lunch, so having some stuff at work has saved me from the evil vending machine!

Wow, a little harsh man, we all do our best, but sometimes shit happens...

Yeah, today was just one of those days.

I usually keep protien bars at my desk, but havent lately and today it bit me in the ass.

Trust me, not having time isnt an excuse. Today I woke up 20 minutes before I had to be at work. I was late.

My schedule is extremely busy, probably worse than most. Up until this summer, I worked no less than 50 hours a week. I was married with 2 kids. Now I am dealing with a divorce. Have my kids 1/2 of the time on my own. Go to school 3 days a week from 5-10. Im getting my house ready to sell due to the divorce.

I dont know too many people that would want to be walking in my shoes right now. From 6am until 10pm, I am rushing. And its not fun shit.

AND YOU'RE Blind Deaf and Mute???!!!

Sucks to be you man.

Also, I hate vending machines for that, peanuts are the only saving grace on those miserable days.

I have an extremely busy schedule, but I always pack around a myoplex or a meal replacement bar. . . .its that simple.

You work around your schedule. . . as far as I am concerned if you are serious about gains. . you will do whatever it takes to stay fed.

Woops, I guess my point didnt get across in that last post.

My point was that if I can do it with my schedule, anyone can do it. Time isnt an excuse, it never has been and never will be. Saying I dont have enough time, is really saying, "I dont want it bad enough." in my mind.

Today I fucked up, next time I will be prepared.

I like to keep some protein powder on hand for those emergencies. It takes a few seconds to mix up a shake and down it.
