Tubby

I have fallen off the exercise wagon.  When the weather got colder and the mornings got darker in early October, I just stopped going to the gym.  For a while, I continued to pack the gym bag and set the alarm.  An early morning workout made perfect sense as I crawled into bed around 11 o'clock.  It seemed less perfect when the alarm went off at 4:15 the next morning.  It was cold and dark outside and I was warm and sleepy.  I think I am my most creative when I am lying in bed coming up with reasons why I should go back to sleep and skip the gym - just this one time.  Sadly, once became twice and before I knew it, October was gone and I'd only been to the gym once.  That one time was near the end of the month and my level of fitness had noticeably deteriorated.  I was huffing and puffing on the treadmill, painfully aware of a new "jiggle" in my midsection.  Luckily for me, we've entered sweater season.  I'm sure no one is aware of my added girth.
