Who knew I’d join the NRA?

I wouldn’t say they’re loaded, but I’ve got guns, baby! (heh) I just came from the gym. I’m nowhere near where I want to be physically, but I’m rather enjoying the fact that my arms are huge post-workout. “Huge” is of course a relative term, but I’ll take my happiness where I can find it. I was feeling a little self-conscious about my stomach when I looked over at the gym’s mirror wall and realized that I’m bigger than most of the guys who were there. The two big exceptions were the owner and a guy who’s obviously a personal trainer.

What I want is wider shoulders and a narrower waist. I’m built like a barrel, so I think I need to concentrate more on the widening than the narrowing. To that end, I did lots of deltoid and lat exercises today. I also toughed it out through 20 minutes (and 7 miles) on the bike, where I usually get mind-numbingly bored at 5. I’ve got a long road ahead of me and quite a few pounds to lose along the way, but I feel good.
