A couple of years ago, I went in for my annual physical, and my doc told me I was "obese." She didn't sugar coat it, just said it. Overweight? Me? Then my wife heard the news. Well. Some lifestyle changes were on tap. So, it was adios to the greasy tacos, howdy to salads. Actually I like salads. Look, I write books. That means I sit and sit and sit. My office is like a jail cell if I never leave it. My theory is my best writing will result if I stay in good physical shape, a bit like an athlete in that regard. Anyway, I shed 40 lbs. over a few months (sounds like a weight loss ad plugged on TV), and I've kept it off. Walking each day appeals to me. I used to jog, but I'm not keen to blow out my knee or hip. So, I better scram out of here and go pound the pavement. Again.
