211 lb., 25.2% body fat

Amanda joined a gym last week, and got me to join as well.

I'll be honest: I've been slacking in the weight control department. I'm 20 lb. above where I want to be, and don't even get me started about how much flab I'm carrying.

Still, a gym membership is a route I never expected I'd take. I mean, that's for people who work out, who take this seriously, who have these ridiculously sculpted body profiles like you see on the cover of Muscle & Fitness or one of those other magazines.

I remember mocking the musclebound from my seat of intellectual superiority back in middle & high school. It was a coping mechanism, as my private salvos were only returning public fire.

And yet, here I am, about to go see a personal trainer myself.

Full circles are funny like that.
