The Chances

How a 250+ Pound Couch Potato Got Healthy

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

I was wondering when this would become an issue. I need to pare down my time away from work when I go to the gym. My boss asked how long I'm gone when I go to the gym, and I honestly told him an hour and 15, sometimes an hour and 20. He then said he can't have me gone that long in the middle of the day.

Alright, so... 45 minutes to work out with no cardio after, cool. 5 minutes there, 5 minutes back, ok. 55 minutes... it looks like I'll just have to do what I used to do when I worked out in the workout room here at work, change my clothes before I leave, then change my clothes when I get back.

Alright. DAY 16...
