Today was a long day.  It was Day 1 of the NANBF Natural Minnesota Physique Competition.  I know the show promoter Aaron Callister and helped him with some of the work that needed to be done pre-show (Show started at 6 pm).  From there my girlfriend Meredith Butulis was competing in the Fitness division so I needed to support her and help her with here stage prop.  This is a reason why there are some big gaps between meals.  It was a better day eating wise than most people experience, just not optimal.
