From Couch Potato To Calendar Girl: Conquering The Fitness Phobia
By ML Van Valkenburgh
It’s New Year’s Day 2013, and many of us have either made resolutions or will make them today. Most of those resolutions will have to do with health and fitness – this year, we’re going to make better diet choices. This year, we’re going to run a 5K. This year, we’re going to join a gym and actually go.
A few of us will keep them. Most of us will stick with it for anywhere from a few weeks to early March, which is the window during which most New Year’s Resolutions go their merry way and we go back to being our old, sedentary selves.
I gave up making resolutions long ago, because they were a recipe for disappointment and a source of increasingly negative feelings about myself because I couldn’t stick with whatever it was I’d resolved to do.
