As per my earlier resolution upon having to buy jeans with a 38 inch waist, I’ve been hitting the gym pretty regularly for a while now, and have started to see some results. I’ve dropped a few pounds, redistributed a few more, and am fitting comfortably into some of my older pants again. I’ve been doing a mix of hikes through the hill country, time on the treadmill, and some work with weights. Now, if I can only convince myself that I like salads better than cheeseburgers, I’ll be in excellent shape.
