Back to the gym

I made a tentative step toward more regular exercise last week, with lots of walks during my beach vacation. It felt great to be out there again, moving purposefully. I walked at least 45 minutes most days, and 90 minutes on one particularly busy day.

This week I go back to the gym, working with a trainer. I went a couple of years ago and got into great shape before a family wedding, so I'm kind of mortified to go back now so many pounds heavier. But I need to just suck it up and go.

The eating hasn't been so good. The vacation food was plentiful and calorific. Now I'm trying to have more salads and fewer sandwiches, and add more vegetables and fruits.

That's it for now. Kind of a boring post.
