Gym Membership? Check.

In college it was easy to stay in shape, if you weren't completely lazy, that is. We had a brand new gym on our campus within walking distance and only a few hours of class each day. Even with the occasional homework assignment, I could usually find at least an hour during the day when I had just enough energy to make it over to the gym and workout. I mean, of course I had enough energy, I didn't wake up until 10am every morning.

Now, I'm getting nervous. I'm working at this summer camp where the kids are surely in better shape than I am. I was just in Europe hiking through the mountains of Italy and being passed by 70 year olds as my friends and I stopped every 10 stairs so we didn't die. Pretty pathetic huh? My only thought is that things are going downhill from here.

Working 60 hours per week and finding time (and energy) to go to the gym is going to be difficult! However, it's important to remember the "balanced lifestyle" firms always boast about their employees having. You can even join the firm softball or soccer league to stay in shape. I might do it just to save myself the embarrassment mentioned above.
