I was still sleeping at 7:30......when the phone rang.

It was my buddy, Tom.  Tom works down at the Court House in the law business, if you will.  I think I've mentioned before that Tom is a pretty big man.  He's over 6 feet and stepped on the scales a couple of weeks ago in shoes in the neighbor of 285.  Now, the thing you have to know about Tom is he has done a lot of weight lifting and fancies himself to be a pretty well-versed guy when it comes to working out and even though he's put on some pounds in recent years....you can still see that Tom is a big dude.  He's from Wisconsin and loolks like a former lineman from the Badgers.  Okay, now that you know what kind of attitude to expect from Tom  - well, he's been working out in the sessions with Ray and he called me this morning talking fast about how he hasn't ever gotten this good of a burn on the chest before and that he underestimated the effectiveness of working wtih a trainer.  So, GREAT JOB, Trainer Ray.  Tom was saying he hopes other guys that go to the gym regularly and have read all the books and etc. like him, will one day get the opportunity to work with a PROFESSIONAL trainer.  It's making a big difference!  I'll try to get some pictures of Tom at our highly-anticipated leg workout, tonight at seven at National Fitness Center in Maryville.
