This is easily my least favorite week (/two weeks) of the year. I know that sounds cliche, but I can't even work out because there's a line for any freeweight benches, shit is thrown in places it doesn't belong, and people really don't understand the unspoken rules of the place. I commend each and every person who wants to make an attempt to get healthy, but it's really not enjoyable for me

I work at a gym. I can guarantee you that 75% of the people who started this week will fail. Too much emotion and energy attached to an arbitrary day vs. a long term commitment to their health. If those people were serious about weight loss or better health they could have started it on July 1st just as easily, perhaps more so, than Jan. 1st.
