    I said "steadily gaining", but I should have said "inch or so fluctuation". There was a definite gain in college, when I stopped regular training. There was a classic swivel chair spread gain when I got a 9-to-5, another gain when I moved across the country and my diet went to hell, then another gain when I had a badly sprained ankle and couldn't continue running/biking/hiking for a while...it's been fairly steady for the last few years now, and seems lately to have involved shifting mass from the lower half and the middle, to the upper half. My old suit jacket no longer fits in the shoulders, which makes me feel a little better about not fitting the pants.

    The waist measurement is actually shrinking a little since I measured for my kilt, and I'm cool with that.

    I do have a fairly regular exercise routine, so I don't expect any massive fluctuations, outside of anything medical.
