Bad news.

I gained 40 pounds in residency. Went from a 6-foot-160 pound climber to a 6-foot-210-pound overweight middle-aged man. Something about working 120 hours a week that ruins your health. It don't come off easily at my age, either.

This was me three years ago -

This is me today -

I'm almost 44 years old and can legally park in disabled zones. What exactly is your excuse again ??

:wink:

I don't know how you all gain(ed) weight during residency? I lost weight when I was a resident, at least 20 pounds...

I think I get this.

There was the time in the Army I'd handled one too many bodies and started sleeping in a body bag. Thought early death was inevitable Is this what this thread is about?

There was the time when surfing I'd handled one too may waves and started sleeping in a board bag. Thought the rest was incredible.

I wonder how a body bag is in comparison?

LOL, just reminded me of dirtbag climbers I saw couple of week ago at the Camp Slime in the Gunks - they were sleeping wrapped in their tent rainfly.
