changes...

The change is this: I am getting fat! I should qualify this statement by saying that my belly is getting fat, the rest of me is staying the same. However, for someone who has barely ever had a spare inch on him, this is a surprising and slightly discouraging development. It's not that I eat poorly or in excess--actually, I don't have a particulary huge appetite so overeating isn't really an option. My wife and I eat reasonably healthy food as well. The big problem is that as an overly busy graduate student, I spend most of my time sitting around while I study/do assignments and it leaves very time for exercise. I also have all the biomechanical problems right now that make running a no-go until I address them. It's pretty funny to see my belly because it has never looked like this before, but it makes me glad that I am not back in Victoria because I can only imagine the fuss that certain people would make upon seeing this Chunky Monkey. On my semester break, it's time to get my lazy butt in gear!
