Yesterday Blog: CUMFIESTA was a welcome destination in that I had spent the previous 2 years working in the Middle East on an engineering and constuction project. My new position was not a career change because I found employment with one of the larger engineering and construction ( E and C ) companies in the Houston area. Since I was fairly well paid by my new employer, I found an upscale apartment in the Galleria area on the western side of Houston. In all of my 35 years I had never lived in a city as large as Houston. I quickly settled into a routine of working out in my apartments' exercise room about 4 times per week. I did the Monday- Wednesday-Friday workouts with an additional lighter workout on Saturday or Sunday. Staying healthy as well as in shape was very important to me. Even while I lived in the Middle East, I had worked out vigorously 4 -5 times per week. Although I was 35, the many years of weight training had provided me with a nicely chiseled upper body.
