People Pants

“You look really nice,” Russ said as he walked through the door Tuesday evening. “Go anywhere special today?”

Ha!

If only!

“No,” I confessed. “All of my sweatpants are in the wash, so I had to wear people-pants today.”

When one has to wear people-pants, it is practically required to wear a people-shirt, too.

Here is the thing about people-pants: they keep you honest in a way that sweatpants definitely cannot. People-pants are not forgiving. They don’t go with the flow of weight gain the way their synthetic siblings do.

And to be honest, my people-pants are getting a little snug.

Looks like I’ll be heading back to the gym in time to beat the post-holiday rush.
