It’s amazing how just a few more inches of muscle makes you look more imposing.

A woman I work with said she glanced across the parking lot this morning as I was walking in (I park far away) and thought, “Huh, who is that bruiser walking across the parking lot?” And then she realized it was me.

Ha. Absolutely no one would’ve described me as a “bruiser” a year ago. I don’t really think it’s that accurate, because I think a bruiser really needs to be over 200 pounds, but I sure am a lot different than I was then.
