K.T.,

Thanks for your concern, but it's called genetics. I was ALWAYS skinny through school...however, if you will check out the PREVIOUS picture, you will see that I HAVE.....uh.....filled out...a little bit.

AAMOF, Vulcan still can't get over the fact that he and I are the SAME weight now. He's lost some, but I've gained a LOT.

However, I did join a Fitness Club back in 1996 and stayed with it for 2 years....the FIRST time in my LIFE I ever went to the gym on a regular basis.

With 3 small boys now, I simply don't have the time or money to join a Fitness Center again...but I'm trying to exercise more on my own. Sit-ups and Push-ups mostly. That will give me a good start. Then, there is a small college near work that has a public pool...so I may try to start going over there and swimming a few laps after work. I think they also have a weight room that the public can use.

I actually enjoy working out (used to DESPISE it), so I hope to be able to get back into it again.

However, I will NEVER look like the man in your sig. I'm just not built right. I have looong bones, so I will never have bulging muscles.

Although, if I ever DID get big muscles, I think that would be the ONLY thing that would shock Vulcan even more than my current size.


BTW, I just want to say THANK YOU to everybody for being so nice to my friend. I've been trying to convince him to join us for a long time. Thanks again for making him feel so welcome on his first day here.
