My New Year’s Resolution is ___ _____ ______ (I'll give you a nickel if you can guess!) I, along with most Americans, will complete the blanks by saying My New Year’s Resolution is TO LOSE WEIGHT! It is the #1 resolution of Americans. I know it has been my resolution every year since I was old enough to stay up to see the New Year ring in.
Taking advantage of a vacation day this week, I built up the courage to walk inside the door of my fitness club, although I went incognito. You see, a couple of years ago, I won a contest (a cruise actually) at that same fitness club. My "before and after" picture is still used as a tool in trying to sway potential members to join.
I have avoided the front door of this establishment since I look more like the “before” than the "after", only older! But this week, I swallowed my pride (or most of it) after curling my hair, carefully applying make-up, donning my black leather jacket, my new sun glasses and walked in the front door of the health club. (Leaving my sunglasses on since I didn’t know who might recognize me behind the desk or nearby)
After a very brief workout, I put back on my leather coat and my new, big black sunglasses, thanked the guys at the front desk and got back into my car. Finally able to relax a bit, I noticed something wasn’t quite right with my sunglasses. Taking them off, I saw that I did not peel off the sticker from the lens! That act alone could have just given it up who was behind that disguise!
