sausage fest

we've had a couple of very pleasant days here in Lubbock, and i'm suddenly very aware that my upper arms are looking more and more like two salamis since i've been shirking gym duties. i can't very well wear my tank tops and spaghetti straps in this unsightly condition. of course, in typical West Texas style, the weather is predicted to be freezing by this weekend so i have some time to rectify the situation. the problem, however, is that once you stop going to the gym, it's difficult to restart the routine (especially when your new routine includes a lot of TV watching and fried chicken eating.)
