50 lb in 500 days
I don't feel like a person who has 50lb to lose, but the scale doesn't lie. I've been working from home full time and wearing a lot of elastic-waist pants, so I guess that's how my weight crept up on me.

Funny Side Effects of Work Outs
I'm a writer. On arms days I "slur" my typing. I also drive a stick shift and after a really good leg day that clutch pedal wears me out. Is there something funny that happens to you because of your work outs?
