Lowell knows that you do workouts for yourself- your self image, your health, your peace of mind, your whole life. What he probably doesn’t know is that you do workouts hoping that people you’re kinda sweet on like your new self image, your new health, your new peace of mind, and your whole new life… or at least that they know you’ve GOT all that new stuff, and that they don’t think you’re just the same old lump you’ve always been before you got slightly more buff and happy. We SHOULD know that’s why we do it, but it’s instinctive. We like to think we’re making forebrain actions and not brainstem reactions.
Or at least that what I like to think. And I think that’s what Lowell likes to think.
I do it just to get out of the office for about an hour. But it does help me by being healthier than a lump in a chair.
The question is, if Lowell DOES stick it out for the girl, will he GET the girl? Or does she just like big, flabby guys for the LULZ?
Many of the places I worked had exercise rooms (fitness centers for the more corporate minded). I never used any of them. By the end of the day I was often too tired.
On more than one occasion a young person who came back to the warehouse to ask a question or get something would ask why I did not jpin them.
My usual response was.
I’m picking up hundred pound (insert product here) for nine hours a day. I don’t lift heavy things for free.
Or pay to do it.
Good seeing you yesterday Greg.
