This morning at 5:30am, went to the gym as I do just about every day for the last few years.....normally, it is the same crowd, every morning doing their routine...and we have all known and recognize each other....

TODAY...THE PARKING LOT WAS PACKED!!!!! At 5:30 am !!!! What the heck is going on???

Then I remembered...it is the first Saturday of 2014....Riggghhhhttt! All the people with their New Year's resolutions to loose weight...get fit..

perhaps got a gym membership as a gift....

Repeat after me.....Diet & Exercise....Diet & Exercise....I hope there are some that will be more successful as I was...been there done that, and I always failed miserably, eventually......I could not stop eating...so I needed WLS to do what I could not do on my own.

There were more Gym Staff there as normal also....big smiles on their faces as they were doing "Private" training....making the big $$...also probably a gift from someone....

Oh well, had to look for an open treadmill to run my 5 miles....not my favorite location....the weight machines were busy also....

Happens every year at this time....I'll give it a month and it will start to dwindle....give it to spring and warmer weather and it will be all back to normal....

Ugh....on my way now. Not looking forward to it. The 5 pound dumbells will be busy.

Ha ha, I have the exact same story about my gym this morning.

I used to work for Jenny Craig and since our salaries were supplemented with commission on food sales this was our favorite few weeks out of the year.
