Keeping Fireman Fit

As a fireman, I need to maintain a certain level of physical fitness for my job. I need to keep my weight down as well as my strength up. Last week I was thoroughly embarrassed when my supervisor took me aside and warned me. He said, “You need to find out how to lose your beer gut, or your job could be in jeopardy.” I was stunned. Yes, I knew I had put on a few pounds eating too many sweets and going through the drive-throughs too often. I had noticed my uniform was feeling tighter. I just thought that my wife might have shrunk it in the laundry. Now I have to face the truth. I love my job. The weight will come off.
