Christmas is finally over and I am craving some real food!! Every year after eating junk for several days I just start to crave salad and veggies. I got smart this year and bought some bagged salads and spinach. Today is back to good eating and the GYM! I haven’t been in a week. This time of year is also the time of year when the population at the gym really picks up….for awhile. During the last 10 years of being in a gym regular I’ve seen the NY resolution people come and go, usually within a months time the gym is back to normal. And I must admit that every year I think "Hurry and give up so I can have my machines back." But this year I’ve had a little change of heart and I think it is because of this site. I’ve read many peoples blogs and progress charts who are really struggling daily to lose weight, eat better, stay motivated, make it to the gym, compete, relieve depression and many other healthy goals. Meeting people here has made people at the gym real to me. I don’t really socialize at the gym, I may chat quickly with my little circle of friends but other than that my Ipod is blasting and I’m in and out in less than an hour. It’s kind of my time. Being a nurse, I spend 12 hours a day caring and giving to other people and when I get home..it’s more of the same. For some reason my 2 teenage sons have no problem with asking me what’s for dinner after those 12 hours. So the gym is ALL ME!!!! But this year if I see someone who looks lost looking at the hip abbductor or alone, I’m going to think about this site and the people I know here and maybe give a little of my ME time. To all my bodyspace friends have a GR8 ‘08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
