Week 9: The "Resolutionists" vs. The Regulars

So I've already come up with my new year's resolution for next year: don't be upset with the New Years "resolutionists" that will crowd the gym. Ok...I admit it. It comes across as a bit snobby, but I'm officially a gym regular. And all of the gym regulars "know" each other. We smile at familiar faces across the gym; we give the same exasperated stare at the "resolutionists" who are messing up our workouts because every machine is taken. It's like this elite club that I've never been apart of until now. And frankly, I like it. Everyone has to start somewhere...my start was because I had six months until my wedding, so I can't blame someone who chooses the first of the year or the beginning of this new decade. Just remember, there's a 30 minute limit on cardio machines when people are waiting and you can be a part of the "regular elite" too if you just stick with it past Valentine's day. You'll know you're in when you begin to recognize faces and the stranger gives you a quick smile from across the room. Who knows, that stranger could be me!
