Days as a hanger rat

Working will do it to you, particularly if you have a fairly
sedentary occupation. A few years back I spent 2 years out of work
(on purpose). Most of my time was spent flying, hiking, mountain
biking, yard work, etc... After returning to work (sitting on my ass
in front of a computer for 50 hrs./week), I realized that I'd kept
eating my old diet, but had totally wiped out the "burn" side of the
caloric intake / burn cycle. Before I realized it, I'd gained 25 lbs.
in about 5 months. Pretty scary for a normally skinny guy like me.
