I ordered them before the lockdown started because I just wanted some overalls. Stuck in my house with nothing to do, the appeal of wearing pants that supported themselves on my shoulders just kept growing.

I guess the slightly more normal part of this story is that I'd been telling myself, and anybody dumb enough to listen to me, that my daily work schedule and commute was keeping me from working out as much as I want. That was probably just a rationalization, but it was one I'd used for so long, to so many people, that I felt like I needed to put my money where my mouth is and I actually started running again - a lot - during this work-from-home period.

The results were that I lost a bunch of weight but didn't quite trust it enough to buy new clothes, so the overalls were pretty helpful. And working out a lot meant showering a lot.
