Did you make any resolutions this past December 31st? Or, did you, years ago, resolve to never make resolutions? That is one of my favorites!

I found a picture from Calvin and Hobbes that says “Resolutions? Me?? Just what are you implying? That I need to change? Well buddy, as far as I’M concerned, I’m perfect just the way I AM!                                                         [http://bp1.blogger.com/_BFmrOqQJl0c/R3t9w8rJq8I/AAAAAAAAADE/-u8VadoJaWY/s1600-h/Resolutions.jpg]

I think this cartoon is fantastic! And should be how we all feel about ourselves, but is that the case? Not usually. So, in answer to my own question, no I did not make any new year’s resolutions, makes breaking or not breaking them so much easier on the conscious.

When someone asked me about my resolutions, it did give me pause to think because, I guess, in a way I did, sort of. I made my 40 by 40 list and that is a list of all the things I want to accomplish before I turn 40. Resolutions? Not sure.

Then, when I went to the gym on Monday evening, January 3rd, the place was PACKED! I normally go to the gym in the mornings on the way to work or at the location near my office in the evenings. Since I am working with a trainer now, and we’ll discuss that later, I am tending to go more to my local gym in the evenings.

Ok, back to Monday being slammed. I asked a few people, of course, everyone is in agreement that the gym will not be so packed in a month or two, when everyone has fulfilled enough of their obligation to their resolution and get out of the habit. Apparently, my local gym is always packed Monday evenings, why you may ask… According to everyone at the gym, binging eating and drinking bring them in. Ok, so, the answer… don’t go to the gym on Monday evenings before 8pm.

So, to make a resolution or not to make a resolution? That is the question. I will leave that up to you.
