Weight Gain and Pears

Welp, I packed on the weight Sunday. It was inevitable, but I don't feel it's a setback. It's actually surprising the weight dripped off so many days in a row.

An interesting thing happened to me in the gym this evening. On the docket was 30 minutes of elliptical, chest and back. However, regardless of the Cliff Bar and Monster energy drink I consumed prior, a deafening hunger overtook me while elliptical-(ing?). In cycling parlance, it's called a "bonk". I didn't think I could finish the elliptical workout, much less pump iron. It appears as though I'm consuming just enough calories to exist in a sedentary lifestyle. The weight training was dropped, and I couldn't prepare dinner fast enough.

Just a bit about pears. Growing up, my mother fed me apples, but rarely if ever pears. Well, my cosmopolitan wife picked up a variety of pears from the local market, and one accompanied me to work. After eating that asian pear, I just felt confused. What the heck is this fruit? It's like the Mike Leach of the Pyrina sub-tribe. Gritty, somewhat sophisticated, a tad aloof, and just a bit off. It resembles an apple, but it's clearly different. I'll give them a second chance, but it's hard to top my Pink Lady, the Nick Saban of apples.
