I was active in sports as a child all the way thru most of college, so I learned early how to workout and it was via sports that I learned about the benefits of weight training. My first desk job after post-college I gained weight and fell off my workout routine, then reined myself in. Then I started graduate school, and I've seen my weight rise wants things start getting hairy (esp around finals). My weight has gone up again post finals and the holidays, and I'm just trying to get into a consistent routine...lose the pounds I've gained and get more consistent with maintenance.

It makes me feel and look good, what's not to like?
