Now that I've gotten the hang of this gym, I've figured out my workout:

Yup... variety is the preservative against "God, I'm bored -- I'd rather eat ice cream." :-)

Well, there'll eventually be less variety. When I'm able to do 100 squats, I sure as hell won't need the time on the rowing machine for cardio!
It's amazing how much more effort squats are than dead-lifts. The latter are just hard, whereas the former wear me out but-good. Instead of variety, for me the key to working out regularly is efficiency--can I pack the workout into a one-hour lunch-break?
oh, yes, squats. Although the clean-and-press is a good one, too.
Speaking of wanting to get abs back, this evening, my sister saw my 5-10 pound Starbucks-induced squish and asked in all sincerity, "Are you pregnant?"
"No," I said, while thinking, Oh, dear lord, am I really *that* fat?
