I went to the gym for the first time in forever this morning. I was surprised to find only one other person there for the entire duration of my hour-plus workout. Maybe new year’s resolutions aren’t as big as they used to be, which is a good thing. I usually go through cycles of health, followed by cycles of utter self-destruction, followed by health again, etc. These cycles change as I go through important life changes (moving, dating or breaking up with someone, employment, etc.) and rarely do they coincide with a particular holiday or time of year. As this day approached, I carefully weighed the importance of reducing my bulging belly against the prospect of dealing with a bunch of extra people every day. My alone-time is very important to me, but so is not turning into a waddling lard-ass.
So, this marks the beginning of healthy year for ze PlatKat. Or at least healthier than the last couple of months…
