Darn Those New Year's Resolutions

No, not mine. Everyone else's! Because now when I go to the gym, the classes are so insanely packed! I should probably be applauding the efforts of everyone else, but with working in Salt Lake it's hard for me to get to the classes on time, so once I get there there's hardly any room! I guess if I just give it a few months, maybe some people's motivation will have worn off. That, or else I'll be accidentally round-housing someone in the face, or brushing fingers with my neighbors when moving through a yoga vinyasa flow. I guess there are worse things in the world.

Speaking of resolutions, I was looking over mine from last year and making up new charts to track my goals for this year. Charts - crazy and OCD, I know. Jack kept laughing at me as I showed him my charts and told him how I'd be happy to help him set up his own system like mine. He says when he has a company I'll definitely be his secretary. Sweet! I'd be so darn good at that! (Mrs. DeFelice has always said her favorite job would be a professional organizer, and I think that's right up there for me along with travel journalist and swimmer with the dolphins person.) Anyways, I was looking over my resolutions from last year, and I had to laugh. Yup, I accomplished a lot of them, but maybe that's because they were things like:

-Go Skiing - check!
-Go to a national park - check!
-Read a book - check! (That's right - one book. That's a big enough goal for me. I didn't realize I'd fall in love with books this year, so I definitely accomplished this one!)
-Go camping - check!

I swear, everyone should set goals like this. Hardly any effort, but you feel like you've gotten things done! Yeah, just call me Miss Accomplishment!

But now back to the gym topic. Someone totally farted in yoga tonight. And loud. Pretty funny, and I'm sure glad it wasn't me. But really, can you blame someone when the instructor makes you get in a position like this:




I'm sure not gonna point any fingers. Bowels will do what the bowels will do. And another random gym thought: I was there the other night and was pretty much traumatized. You'd think that grown adults would know to wear underwear with short shorts, especially when going to a kickboxing class where you'll be doing crunches on the floor. Nope. Some girl totally pulled a Britney Spears, and I should have pressed charges for lewdness! Really, some people! This gym place better get back to normal, and quick!

The ironic thing is that January was probably my worst month out of the year for gym attendance. I like to be different. Just when everyone else is re-dedicating themselves, I'm thinking - gym, shmym! Maybe it had a little to do with the whole Twilight blackhole thing. Or maybe a lot to do. But I'm happy to announce that I'm slowly building myself back up - 2 times one week, 3 times the next, and hopefully even more this week! Maybe I can peak just when everyone else's attendance is waning. :)

"Swimmer with the dolphins person" is that a technical term? :)

I was totally laughing out loud about the gym story :)

I know exactly what you mean. Every Jan. it's such a pain to go to the gym or the temple. How's that for wicked, but in Provo esp. it gets so crowded at both places in Jan and then by April it's back to normal. Of course if everyone was consistant throughout the year they'd probably build another gym or another temple, but since they're not the rest of us just have to suffer through Jan. Except I'm not going to the gym right now, so I guess I'm not suffering. :)
