The First Day of the Rest of my Life


On September 18, I slept in, meaning that I didn't get up till around 8:00 a.m. I had vowed that I was going to make the most of my new existence, so today was the first day of my new exercise (or walking) program. I grabbed my AM/FM radio with the headphones and walked around the complex for about 40 minutes, figuring that it was about 2.5 miles. I listened to Chris Core on WMAL radio -- a great talk-show host (who susequently also lost his job at the station, thanks to the economy) and made sure I was back by 9:45 a.m., when Rachael Ray would start the cooking segment on her show. I wanted to know what I was having for dinner that night.

The exercise program I started also coincided with a lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. My former officemates were taking me out. I needed to walk off the meal that I was going to consume later that day.

I thought to myself, "I think I'm going to like this new lifestyle."
