I worked out!
I worked out before next year! I dragged Guillaume down to the community building in our neighborhood, which probably has laws as arcane as the ones Parker outlined in one of his previous entries, and worked out on the elliptical trainer and treadmill for over an hour. G did some elliptical, too! So thank you Rachel for the encouragement and reassurance that it would all be over soon, I had to start sooner rather than later because my dress just fit tight enough when I got and I would like for it still to fit. T minus 3 weeks and 6 days!
