And Now For Something Completely Different!

Fred is going on hiatus for a week or so, while we bring you this from your sponsor.
Momma's gone to the Fat Farm!
I just arrived here today at Pritikin Longevity Center in beautiful Miami, Fl.
The idea here, as far as I can tell so far, is to exercise a person to death whilst giving multiple lectures, and feeding them rabbit food.
I arrived and was whisked on a fast paced tour of  the Center which is situated at the Doral Marriott.

BP was taken, and off we went to the room. Note the lamentable absence of Gallo single serving and the presence of (shudder) water.
Here is my view of the golf course

Next, off to get some lunch. Oh my, what they serve here! It seems that the norm is to fill a huge salad bowl up with lettuce and vegetables and eat that! There was also a veggie lasagna that was full of chopped brown stuff...kinda tasted like baked day old beans and mushrooms.......was not a fan of that!  That explains the big bowl of lettuce/vegetables...the other stuff is a bit, shall we say, untasty.

You can have a nice water with lunch, sparkling or still!

Next, I raced off to the MD who gave me a quick once over and pronounced me healthy enough to proceed, despite those pesky major joints.

Next off to the exercise room to learn how to use a machine (NU STEP?) and sign up for one, or preferably more, classes.

At this point, I am wondering if I have completely fallen down the rabbit hole.... I don't think that this is the place for me...

They don't believe in caffeine here, but I have been down the withdrawal road before, and have absolutely no desire to repeat it. Besides, some days, caffeine is the best part of a day, no? So, I did figure out a way around it---called the front desk and told the to bring me a coffee maker, coffee, and sugar and creamer.....Uh oh, rebelling already! But at least I can crawl out of bed tomorrow.

The day is jam packed. Even since I arrived, I have missed classes on Nutrition Priorities, Diseases of Affluence, a cooking school, and an aerobics and pool class! The pressure is already overwhelming.

So, I am closing to head over to "Snack", then Label Reading, then dinner, then Fueling the Healthy Body.

Yowza.
