Trying to be good. Trying to be fit. Trying desperately to finally lose those last few pounds. I dragged myself to the gym after work.
And let me tell you something. I crushed it. I spinned. I spun. I worked it as hard as I could.
Shedding my sweaty gym clothes, I headed toward the Y Center showers. I know, I live a glamorous life, but that’s beside the point. I glanced in the mirror.
And what did I see? Well, I could have seen a body almost at its goal. Nope, I missed that. Instead, I saw something startling. Something that made me crash back to Earth from my post-exercise high.
I saw (brace yourself) a vein that appeared to be popping out of my scalp. Ugh, musta pushed a little too hard at the gym.
And so it goes, but I assume that the proud vein addition does not add any calories. So vain took a hit and vein made a gain, but one more step in fitness. So it’s a sorta win and that’s enough of a win for me.
