I've heard the number of gym memberships go up a lot in January - everyone has a New Years Resolution to get fit. Everyone's hitting the treadmill - and then someone comes a long and helpfully directs them to the punching bag. What do they know? They're new to fitness.
I've also heard it's a trend for this surge of gym memberships to slowly lessen in activity as the year continues...like around February. Everyone wants to get fit, but keeping a fitness schedule is harder than one would imagine. It entails going back the gym periodically, which mostly just sucks.
It is burdened with this hear-say knowledge about gym memberships that I enter the new year - 2013, a year some (highly paranoid) people believed would never happen.
I think everyone feels the need to start over in the new year, and this January 1st perhaps those feelings are intensified. Perhaps we should all feel lucky to be alive even more so, and should look toward 2013 with fervor and vigor.
The world didn't end, so it's time to finally get those sculpted calves!

On a more personal note, 2012 was a year of highs and lows for me.
Highs:
1. Getting engaged to Jonathan Wood, the kindest, biggest goofball I've ever met.
2. Realizing that I want to write. Period.
3. The love and support from all of my family and friends (thanks especially to mom and dad).
Lows:
1. My health.
2. My health.
3. My health.
I'm excited for 2013, and am hoping that instead of a year of highs and lows, I'll be working upward on a steady incline. MY New Years resolutions are as follows:
1. Get healthy - physically, mentally, spiritually
2. Write, write, write, write, write, write, read, write, write write...
3. Be a compassionate person
4. Be kind to myself
Here's to trusting in people and this world for another 365 days!
p.s. hitting the gym today.
