Are you fit or have you quit yet?

I was at my gym with the wifey for the first time this year. I had knee surgery Dec 29 2009 and did a course of Efudex on my face (Google Efudex photos) and I needed some time to recuperate. Besides who wants to fight the "I am going to get in shape after the holidays crowd".

January is the worst time to exercise for several reasons.
1. It is cold out and who wants to get in a cold car and drive to the gym?
2. You can't even get a seat on the stationary bike or use the treadmill unless you want to wait around for 20 minutes. I want crowds ata Rock concert not the gym.
3. Most people who go to the gym in January really don't want to be there and are not happy. It's way too serious in January.


So all the quitters have quit by now. They gave it their best shot. They went everyday for maybe a week and then they missed the first day the next week, but kept going. The next week they went one day because of their busy schedule and now it's over. They did not make it a month. Besides, they stopped losing weight. Lost 5 pounds first week and then nothing. Failure big time.
Ok maybe they can start next month or maybe April so they can be ready for summer.
Where would you be if you had of stuck it until the end of February? Probably down 10-15 pounds and about 2-3 inches on the waist. Most your friends would have noticed a difference and asked you what you're doing. The sugar craving would be diminished and you would have more energy. You would now feel confortable asking to "work in" with the lughead bodybuilder hogging the lat machine. Your pants would button and maybe even be a little loose. Nothing feels better. Nothing.
Ok quitter! Get back on the horse. It's getting warmer and summer will be here before you know it. Imagine youself in a sundress or a swim suit? If you're a guy, how about some abs finally. This is the year.
For me it is buttoning those pants and having to put on a belt to hold them up. And getting those two suits I got for Christmas two years ago tailored finally!
I won't get to do the hardcore 50 fitness day this year on my April 7th Birthday but I can do alot if I just don't quit. If you quit you will never get fit.
