Go to sleep at 5am because you were up working on various projects and having problems digitizing video.

Get up at 9.15am because your beautiful wife took care of the dogs and let you sleep in.

Weigh yourself and find that you are now 168lbs at 15.6% bodyfat. Realize that a few months ago you were 155lbs at 12% bodyfat. Make a strong mental note that you need to get back on a nutrition/fitness plan.

Grab a brownie, vitamin packet and bottled tea on your way out the door while thinking of the slogan “Breakfast of Champions”

Make several phone calls on the drive to work trying to sort out issues connected to losing your wallet 2 weeks ago.

Receive a semi-harsh email from your commercial agent basically stating that you should’ve had a meeting with him to discuss what kind of pictures you need because the “cool, hip, guy” look is not in high demand right now and you’re not 22 years old anymore. Read that you should have gone for the young dad, businesss look. also read that he isn’t thrilled with the photographer.

Try not to feel a little hurt or disappointed after reading the email.

For lunch have one rib, one chicken thigh, some tri-tip roast and a small salad from the catered lunch and mentally try to calculate the protein content of your meal

Force yourself to go to the gym even though you only slept 4 hours.

When you get to the gym, take an ephedra-free “Ripped force” to get some energy.

Force yourself through a heavy chest and tricep routine.

Go back to work, have a protein shake, and continue with the daily grind while doing ab exercises.

On your way home think about what kind of food you want to pickup for dinner. Realize that you are getting sick of eating at all the same places - East India Grill, Koo Koo Roo, Baja Fresh, Johnnie’s Pizza, Wok Master, Versailles, Amalfi’s, nothing sounds good.

Finally decide to stop by Miyako to get sushi for your wife and Bahay Natin to get filipino food for yourself.

Spend time with your wife reluctantly watching Dr Phil on Tivo while stuffing yourself with pancit, chicken adobo, lechon kawali and casava cake.

Re-install your video card drivers on your computer and find that you can now digitize video properly.

Spend time cleaning and re-arranging your house then go to sleep around 2am.
