Worth the Weight Loss??

Every couple of years it seams like I start to gain weight again. I've been on this slow roller coaster ride for the last 15 years of "gain 30 pounds...Loose 30 pounds". This isn't the wild Oprah Winfrey ups and downs of the 80's but its enough to make me want to get in shape again. So I joined the gym and decided to started bulking up and slimming down. I packed my gym bag and decided to go over lunch hour. Promptly at noon I made my way down to the local YMCA to "get my sweat on". My first trip back was a memorable one. I forgot my ipod, headphones, and you guessed it..underwear. I was determined to not let this hold me back, so I grabbed my old trusty over the ear headphones, my cell phone (loaded with God only knows what type of music), and jumped on the EFX machine for a good intense workout. What a show!! headphones falling off every time I looked down at the clock, sweat greasing up my glasses, and reaching in my pocket every 5 minutes to change the Barry Manalow type song that filled my ears with that "not so motivational music". After surviving 20 minutes of heart pounding jogging I made my way back to the locker room only to find out I had left my locker keys in the locker. Hmmm that's a good place to keep them. Crap! Back out to the floor I went looking for someone that could open the door. I finally got showered up and headed for the car. Hmmmm wear are my car keys? In my locker? (I didn't know loosing weight came with rapid memory loss). With my knees still wobbling from the intense 20 minutes of soft rock running, I staggered down the stairs and found my keys just wear i left them...Locker number 21. As I left the building I felt good, I felt as though I accomplished something. I had a sense of pride, I came.. I saw.. I concord. Is this Worth the Weight loss? The answer I can say is definitely YES!
