These leg presses are starting to get to me!  I have to keep reminding myself not to overexert because I’m trying to lose weight, not gain it back.  This gym is great, though!  Lots of great-looking people to stare at when I’m not busy trying to improve my own body.  If it hadn’t been for my executive health program I wouldn’t even be able to afford to come here to work out.  I’m a middle manager for a financial concern and normally I would just buy my own equipment, such as treadmills and weights, but this gym has so much more to use.  It’s like being in heaven!  Most of the time I just come here early in the morning—they open up at 5—and run a few laps and lift some weights before starting work, which is only two blocks away.  It gives me quite an appetite for breakfast, but usually I’ll just grab a box of cereal and some OJ and down it as soon as I get inside.  The company pays for the use of the gym anytime as long as I don’t spend longer than an hour here on company time, in other words, the length of time I have for my normal lunch break.  Now, I’ve got to be good.  I’ve been thinking all week about that spaghetti and meatballs special over at Pazooli’s on Grand…but this afternoon, I’ll just have to be content with a spinach salad…
