Six-pack in a barrel

Recently, my tummy has started to get rounder, due to less exercise and age, I would guess. So when the subject of being fit and staying slim comes in, I like to joke that,

"Yes, I have a six-pack too, but I store it inside a barrel."

But seriously, the reduction in amount of exercise is showing. Literally. I used to exercise very little, but I used to eat very little as well. So I was thin. Then I started taiji, and lots of taiji, and my appetite went up and up. But now, due to commitments in life, I have to cut down on taiji classes, but my appetite has remained, and with the same intake and reduced output, the result shows.

Time to cut down on the intake, and find ways to increase the output...
