Last year, my boss mandated that all of us — even editorial — put our photos on our business cards. I resisted for a number of reasons (like, wanting to be at least somewhat anonymous when I review restaurants), but I was shot down, so I consented.
Well, it’s a year later and I need new business cards. So I posed for ANOTHER photo shoot today. In the intervening year, I’ve become something of a gym rat. And our photographer, Terry Thompson, decided to share with me the “before and after” of my head shots: One taken when I was 42, one today (aged 44). Here is the side by side comparison:
Could that even be the same person? I need to spend even more time in the gym…
Three words: OMG!
Exercise works wonders.
Sign up for Lone Star Ride!!!!
And we’ll take another pic at the end of the training season.
The Boss
Great job! Congratulations!
My boss is using my exercise to hawk his pet charity…. Ummm, THANKS ROBERT!
Kudos, Arnold!
Amazing results – I see a future of an expanded ‘Fitness and Health’ section for the DV web-site!
We all need to take care of ourselves and pull out of this __?__sion (depre- reces- obses-)
Keep up the gym routines (and maybe share your workout or two)
JHS, I considered such a story for the last B&F magazine but nixed it due to space. But maybe you’re right…
One Hubba Hubba
and two Yabba Dabba Do’s .
Awesome
Damn! Personally I think it is the additional grey hair that makes the difference.
How is this considered NEWSWORTHY?? come on dallas voice, bump it up a notch
What do you mean “how is this newsworthy”? It’s a BLOG (a Web Log) and I lost 40 lbs. in 9 months! Believe me, in my house, that’s news.
awj… i know its a BLOG (a Web Log) but one middle aged gay man losing 40 pounds hardly calls for a mention … are you that consumed with yourself? try providing some information that 99.9% of your readership might actually be interested in
regards…
awful lot of comments for something no one cares about but me…
C’mon, Tom, lighten up. That’s what AW did! And he looks FABULOUS! It’s possible to get news AND be entertained at the same BLOG (a Web Log). Visit Huffington Post!
Amazing change, Arnold!!!
Miss Tom, but down your pint of blue bell and give Arnold his props. Not evey middle aged gay man wants to be condemed to life as a BEAR. Arnold you look great!!
VJ, first thanks. But honestly, I wouldn’t say “condemned” to life as a bear. I LOVE bears! Guts are sexy… maybe just not so much on me right now
looking great!
Hi Arnold,
Just came across this article. Very handsome, Woofs! Bear guy here as well, also working on losing weight. What gym do you work out at?
btw, your photographer needs to work on his lighting, 2 highlights in each eye is 1 too many 😉
woooooow amazing, dude you look younger and more healthy, keep up the good work
Very impressive Arnold.
And I agree, bears are sexy. Real men have some meat on their bones and some scruff on their face. Okay, and maybe suspenders and a construction hat…
