the body operates during gym owner
Hector Guzman’s orientation.
I think what stood out most in the
orientation-was Hector’s explanation
of the survival mode that our bodies
go into when they don’t get the right
food combinations at the right times.

Editor’s note: The Sun’s Richard Nelson has decided
that he wanted to return to those glorious days of yester-
year when he was a distance runner at Sterling and
could easily slip into a pair of jeans that had a smaller
waist size than length measurement. Since we figured
that a lot of us wouldn’t mind being able to do that, we
persuaded Richard to bare his soul and his body to the
readers of The Bay town Sun as he worked his way
through a weight-loss program. Here, for all the world to
see, is his initial report.

Everyone has seen those ads for weight loss
programs which feature before-and-after
photos. Well, to make sure I follow through
on my fitness program, I’m going to
embarrass myself by printing my “before”
picture now. If that isn’t incentive to get in shape and
shed some poundage, I don’t know what is.

In the most lackluster game for the junior varsity this

hands of the tournament hosts, Kingwood.

had all year (against Elsik) and then three hours later,
played the worse," Sims said.

since it feels it needs the fat tissue to survive. According
to Guzman, these dramatic changes in levels can result
in a feeling of sluggishness and irritability. This is also
what causes cravings for sweets and fats, or both.
, To combat that, the APEX program recommends
changing from the usual three meals per day to six
small, regulated meals. That way, the body never reach-
es the survival mode.
Eating that often is going to be the toughest part of
the program for me. The hours a sportswriter keeps are
not realty conducive to regular meals. As I filled out the
APEX questionnaire, I realized that I was usually only
eating one, sometimes two meals, per day. Of course,
that meal was usually something Whata-sized at about 4
or 5 p.m. when I began to get the shakes and realized
that 1 hadn’t eaten all day.
Working out three times a Week at the gym will prob-
ably be the easiest part. Like most people, I have always
increased my exercise whenever I have decided to lose
weight. However, what will be tough is not doing extra.
Every aspect of the APEX program is calculated. I
wanted to start running again, but I’m not allowed to
until I get everything else in line.
That “everything else” not only includes weight loss,
but also body-fat loss. My starting weight was 214.25
pounds, and my starting body-fat level was 19.70 per-
cent. Those are some pretty hefty numbers for a guy
that as a cross country runner in high school weighed all
of about 148 pounds and had a body-fat level of less
than 10 percent.
While I don’t want to get back to that anorexic-like
state, I’d like to find a happy medium between the two
looks. My 12-week goal is to get the body fat down to
13.7 percent and the weight down to an even 200 luck. If you see me Whata-sizin’, feel free to wave my

HOUSTON — Lee Head Football
Coach Dick Olin and linebacker Colum-
bus Wooley were'honored at the Touch-
down Club of Houston’s 18th Annual
High School Awards Dinner on Wednes-
day night at the Galleria area’s J.W Mar-
riott Exhibition Center.
Although Olin and Wooley did not
receive the top honors, both were proud
to be among the eight finalists in their
fields. Wooley was nominated as Defen-
sive Player of the Year, and Olin as ,
Coach of the Year.
For the first time in the 10-year history
of the award, Coach of the Year came to a
draw between Rusty Dowling of Texas
City and Bobby Stuart of Hastings.
Olin and his Ganders played against an
elite set of coaches in the 1997 season,
which they finished with an 11-2 record
and an area championship. Three of their
opponents’ coaches this season were
finalists for the Touchdown Club honor.
Eisenhower’s Pat Patterson joined Dowl-
ing and Stuart among the group of ^ight.
“It’s a tremendous honor to be nomi-
nated with these coaches,” Olin said. “I
firmly believe that it’s a reflection of my
coaching staff, the program and the
kids.”
Free safety Robert Ferguson of Spring
Woods won the defensive honor. In
1997, Ferguson, who played both ways,
recorded 106 unassisted tackles and 32
assisted tackles, caused four fumbles and
recovered four more.
However, if it was up to Lee Defensive
Coordinator John Cunningham, Wooley
would have taken home the award. The i
linebacker recorded 49 assisted and 41 J
unassisted tackles, including 11 for loss1 i
es. He also had two sacks, five blocked i
