Our dad had a weight problem;withtheexcusethat he swallowed a watermelon which caused his large stomach. My brother and I exercised quite a bit by riding our bicycles and roller skating.
When I was in high school I weighed 117 lbs. We would do quite a bit of exercises before playing volleyball in the class.
I would usually be on the back row with my other silly classmates where we would do jumping jacks unlike the ones we were supposed to. Remember, I always wanted to be a comedian, even back then.
The P. E. teacher had our class make up an exercise to a popular song. I chose 'Wooly Bully' and my exercise involved my two pointer fingers wiggling back and forth to the beat while my other fingers were clasped in a fist.
I don't remember the grade that I got but it probably wasn't good.
My senior year I said goodbye to 117 lbs. That was when I discovered Mexican Food, and ate it every Friday night after the football game with my boyfriend. My love for Dr. Pepper didn't help the situation.
