Two questions for you, Toots.

What do you dread about the workouts so much?

Have you given up coffee / caffeine? A half cup (or full cup for that matter) in the a.m. can actually help with fat loss - and it's recommened by many. After reading about it on this forum it's a staple for me - I have a half a cup every morning before any workout. Or are you referring to having it in place of a meal (this is what I now think you mean after reading your posts a second time).

If you stick with the workouts for a week or two I guarantee you'll be hungry for those meals - working to failure results in muscle damage and repair, it takes a lot out of you energy wise.
