Spin Cycle

Today I took my first spin class in about four months. After pedaling what seemed like for an eternity, I stole a not-so-stealth glance at the clock and saw that only 10 minutes had passed. Ten minutes and I was already drenched in sweat, wishing I was back at my desk reading tmz.com like I normally do during lunch. Needless to say, the remaining 35 minutes crept by in a very slow, painful way. But I made it through! As I was walking back to work, smile on my face, a man in a wheelchair tried to flirt with me. He may have been homeless but that's okay.

And a-round we go

I had a delightful conversation last night with someone who asked to remain anonymous.

ME: I think I'm finally starting to slim down. I think my face is a little less round then it was. (Note: I admit and acknowledge that I have a naturally round face.)

PERSON: Yeah, actually I've noticed. Your face does look slimmer.

ME: Really?! You can tell?

PERSON: Yeah, it looks normal now.

ME: So, what did it look like before?

Person: Um, [long pause] abnormal?

And my complex continues.
