A wise professor once told me, "What a person thinks about when they are all alone reveals a lot about the character of that person." I never did like his class!
I've been daydreaming . . . How fat can I get before my bike's carbon frame will crack or my wheelset explode? You must understand, I love food. I love soda. I love sugary treats! And I have gained 15 pounds since early October. (Thank you, I feel better -- my dirty little secret is now out in the open) You see, I have continued to graze at the same quantities as I did prior to running in the St. George Marathon. The only difference -- I've stopped exercising.
At my age, the formula for weight gain is easy: 1 Eat everything that looks, smells or sounds good, 2. Be a helpful spouse/dad - finish off any leftovers you find on your wife or kids' plates, 3. Wash all of this food down with the soda of you choice and 4. Sit on your butt all day at work and when you get home watch sports all night.
And of course the biggest key to weight gain -- trick yourself about your current condition. Tell yourself happy little lies like: "My pants feel really good when they are this tight" or "My wife finds my fuller figure very sexy" or "I know my junk is down there somewhere" or the best lie, "I'll be able to lose this fat by spring time".
Well, if you are like me -- sound the trumpets, the fat lady is singing and by my calendar, it is now SPRING! So if you can relate to any of this . . . It is time to re-commit! It is time to work off the winter coat! It is time to be the machine!
Hope to see you on Saturdays!

Maybe our goal should be, "Group photo in June at the beach in a Speedo !?"
