How a 250+ Pound Couch Potato Got Healthy

Wednesday, February 13, 2008

It didn't start out this way, but today ended up being one of those where it's a struggle to work out. Not my own doing, mind you, but as I think I mentioned before, the people at work have realized that if I'm not at my desk I'm likely in the workout room.

DAAAAAAAAMN CONVENIENCE!

So anyway, I helped them, then promptly threw my water bottle across the warehouse, it broke, and water went everywhere. Hey, I got the frustration out, right? Then I finished the workout.
