It’s the time of year to start making resolutions and hopefully not end up breaking them.

We’ll see about that, but either way one of the resolutions that I’d like to make and keep for the new year is to get in better shape. I really didn’t do much exercise of any kind in the past year. Well my job involves a lot of walking so that might count to some degree. I hope it does because I walk for 8 hours a day when I’m at work. That’s a lot more walking than most people do all day I think.

We have a gym at work, and they let us use it for the unbelievably low price of just $3 a month. It’s taken out of our monthly pay when we sign up for gym privileges. I just remembered that I did use the gym a few times last year, but no where near as regularly as I wanted to, not by a long shot. It’s really to bad too that I haven’t used it, because I’ve watched a number of people at work begin to get in better shape, lose weight and become true fitness women. I say women because I work in a hospital and most of the employees are female.

In the new year I’m going to start going to our work gym at least three times a week. I plan to do some weight training there. Then when the weather starts to warm up, and there’s no snow or ice on the ground I’ll get my bike out and ride at least three times a week too. I think between weight training at the gym, walking at work, and biking I’ll be able to get into pretty good shape by the spring if not earlier.

Did you make any New Years resolutions? What are they? And do you think you’ll be able to keep them?
