I have wanted to be a policeman for as long as I can remember. It  was my father’s and grandfather’s profession, and I have dreamed of following in their footsteps. What I didn’t realize was how strict the physical guidelines are to be accepted into the academy today. I need to shed fat fast to meet the weight requirements. My answer has been to start running every night after work. I have also curbed my consumption of fast food and substituted lots more fruits and veggies into my daily diet. The weight is coming off, and I expect to be right on target when the first day of school arrives.
