About two years ago, after my first stroke—I can’t believe that’s how I gauge time now—I started working out at the Oklahoma City Indian Clinic’s Wellness Center a couple of times a week, where I met plenty of people who had more of a weight crisis than a weight problem. I know the pain, man.
Needing more and needing it closer, I bought a membership and started working out on a daily basis at the Gold’s Gym on NW 23rd, about half a mile from my house—a half mile I walked to and from everyday. And it sure did work, helping me not only lose many excess pounds, but put on some much-needed muscle as well.
