I cycle 30 miles three or four days a week

My legs are strong but my upper body needs strengthening

So I joined a gym in December and it never seemed crowded back then

Come January and the place is overrun with new year resolutioners

I talked to the staff and learned its the same thing every year

Membership explodes in January but the rush only lasts a month or so when many drop out

Most of them are looking for the quick fix instant results that never happen

Perhaps they stop going to the gym and buy those magic weight loss pills instead

I wonder if snake oil salesmen see a big jump in revenue every February

Some will be disillusioned by March and resort to plastic surgery for weight loss

Others will stop dieting by April and promise to get fit and healthy on January 1 next year

Exercise and healthy eating is a lifestyle that requires a long term commitment

For sure we all fall off the wagon occasionally but you must get back on again quickly

The best way is to be totally honest with yourself 

If you want to change yourself then accept it will be a journey without a destination

Happy Healthy Friday and every other day to you all
