Staying Healthy

We find ourselves these days as suddenly being part of the
"exercise movement", part of the "American Businesses Dedicated
to Keeping People Healthy While Parting Them From The Hard
Earned Cash That They'd Just Otherwise Foolishly Spend On Junk
Food And DVD Collections of Television Shows From The 90's."
We have a goal, a mission in life! And it's about being healthy,
getting exercise, eating right...HEY! That's not a DONUT there on
your desk IS IT? AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING SITTING
DOWN??!! If you're going to waste your life getting fatter and
weaker, at least stand up while you surf and browse!

Aaak! Just look at us! We're the spitting image of what you'd
expect to see when you think "karate school owners", right? Trim
and slim, able to leap tall buildings in a... oops. Sorry. That's my
other obsession. Where were we? Oh yeah, GET BACK UP, NO
SITTING AND READING!

Needless to say, this whole diet thing does amazing things to the
brain chemistry as well as causing the pounds to melt off. Well, not
exactly melt off. And not exactly "pounds" in the plural either. Let's
just say those extra fat cells are at least getting a good scare if
nothing else. Sure, in time, we'll relent and feed them the healthy
diet of chips and beer that they are used to, but here in Pre Shorts
and Swimsuits Season they're gonna suffer at least a little! Why
not? WE are!

But... owning a karate business means not wanting to overhear:
"My karate teacher? Yeah, the fat guy, leaning on the wall, with the
jelly donut over there..." So, no more jelly donuts, Seattle Sutton is
the new Goddess! Onward and...er... downward! At least as far as
the scale is concerned. Personally, I think at least half of the weight
gain I've had over the past few months is the collection of cob webs
gracing the scale, everybody knows how much a hefty cobweb can
weigh, right? RIGHT? DROP DOWN AND GIVE ME TWENTY
MISTER... and not too close to my feet or I might not be able to see
you...
