The New Job
By
Gym Dude
I’ve always been a believer that Life Is Good! Growing up, I
worked hard in school and at sports. I was never the best student but I
was OK. I wrestled in high school but didn’t win a lot. At state
college I made the football team but mostly played ‘bench’.
I was lucky to get a decent job right out of school and
learned enough to start my own business. It was hard work but eventually
I started earning a fairly decent living. My company required a lot of
time and attention so outdoor activities, sports, the gym all began to fall by
the wayside. I have to admit that my weight began to climb, finally
hitting around 190 which is a bit much on a 5’10 frame. It’s embarrassing
that my 36” belt is getting too tight. I can’t even bear to look at that
lean 167 pound frame in my high school yearbook wrestling picture. I
could even see decent abs then, but I guess that’s what happens when you see a
birthday cake with 37 candles on it. It’s shocking.
