Being the CEO of a company definitely has its ups and downs. As the Chief Executive Officer of a small logistics company I’ve been able to make a good living. My family is taken care of financially and I have enough money put away to send my son to college when he gets to be that age. One thing about being top dog is that you’re the go to guy whenever there are problems that need solutions. Needless to say there is a lot of stress that is involved. That stress along with working long hard hours has taken its toll on my health. I’ve definitely noticed less room in the waist of my pants and it’s not nearly as easy as it used to be taking the stairs at work.
Anyway, I decided I needed to get in shape but I wanted help and accountability. For accountability I released a companywide memo stating that if I didn’t lose a total of thirty pounds and be able to bench press a total of 245 pounds in 4 months that I was going to let my secretary Barb shave my head.
Needless to say it was a big hit and I’m sure there were plenty of office pools going around that I didn’t know about. My family thought I was crazy for doing something like this. I on the other hand thought it was brilliant. My wife just happened to know a female bodybuilder because they worked out at the same gym. I felt apprehensive about asking a woman for help, especially a woman who had much bigger arms than I did. I swallowed my male ego pride and met up with her. The first thing she slapped down on the table was a tub of Pure Pro protein by some company called ABB. She told me that this is what she uses and that it worked great for keeping her lean and strong.
I looked at her arms then my noodle arms and decided it would be in my best interest not to question her. I weighed in at 213 pounds and she said it would be best for me to start taking about .75 grams of protein per pound of body weight. After a butt-kicking workout by this lady I went home and prepared my first ABB Pure Pro shake.
I was expecting to taste something like an old gym sock or a piece of chalk, but to my pleasant surprise it tasted really good. I didn’t even have to plug my nose. Each serving only had 120 calories and 3 grams of carbs. It also had 20 grams of protein, which was a great number according to my wife’s bodybuilder friend Kathy.
I hit the weights and the cardio like a mad man. I had them bring in a set of weights and a treadmill into my office. I wasn’t about to be made a fool in front of my whole company. At the end of the four months I called a company meeting and all the employees and I met in the large auditorium to see if I had made it. I felt strong and I was confident I had met my goals. The ABB Pure Pro protein had helped me get lean and strong just as Kathy had said it would. I easily put up 245 pounds on the bench. In fact I put up 285 and gave myself the title of strongest CEO in the world. Then I stepped on the scale and I missed the goal by one pound! I had lost 29 pounds. So I ended up being the strongest CEO in the world with a shaved head.
