Every Day A New Lie

Every day I’m given a new lie.

It’s done with no emotion, no regret, no guilt.

There’s never an apology.

And it happens every day.

I try to avoid it, but it doesn’t go away.

The daily lie comes from the weigh scale at my athletic club where I work out.

Every time I weigh myself, there’s a new lie.

It lies all the time.

Well, in all honesty, it tells the truth and I think it’s lying.

Sometimes my weight is up, sometimes it’s down.

It’s never the same.

Seven years ago, I thought I was in great shape.

I went hiking with my friend on a mountain in Banff National Park in beautiful Alberta Canada.

After only a few minutes of hiking, I was out of breath. My friend kept walking, onward and upward.

(I think he was smiling and chuckling to himself!)

I struggled that day, mentally, emotionally and physically.

I joined an athletic club and took some baseline tests.

I was 20 pounds (9 kilograms) overweight.

I was below my age group for upper body strength.

I could barely meet the minimum time on the treadmill.

It was all there, plain as can be—I was out of shape.

I still denied it.

It took me 3 months to decide on the right running shoe, before I finally started going to the athletic club.

I finally made it a part of my routine and started to work out.

I’ve never looked back.
