I promise I will go to the gym tomorrow

The one thing that has been doing rounds is ofcourse being a fitness freak. And if you don’t feature in the member list of a reputed gym or practicing yoga under the supervision of some known name (Power yoga to be precise, that’s a new buzzword in town) you seriously need to do some catching up. I haven’t seen this madness for staying fit ever. Needless to say, I had joined a gym before all this euphoria began about being fit (which in turn became a status symbol) and even if it existed, before i could broaden my horizon to notice, I don't give a damn, and I am not going to go deep into it.
Ok, here is the story. While killing time on New years’ Eve (Dec 2006) as I had nothing substantial to do I started listing my resolution for the new year and suddenly my New Year Resolutions from previous years came back to haunt me which read something like this:
I will go jogging no matter what (New Year Resolution 2004).
I have to start jogging from this year (New Year Resolution 2005).
Enough is enough I have to get strict about my health and include jogging in my list of priority(New Year Resolution 2006).
If I term it as a "New Week Resolution" it wont be an exaggeration as every Sunday before hitting the sack I would mumble to myself, “I have to wake up early tomorrow to go for a jog” and diligently without any regret would switch off the alarm and go back to sleep. And obviously, how can I start something in the middle of the week? Monday seems more appropriate and come Monday, the same old story would repeat and finally I used to give up.
Therefore, I had my own reasons to join a gym and not because it’s a new fad.
I was regular and dedicated for a month, god only knows how I managed it, but I did. But then, I went on a short vacation, impact, I couldn’t go to the gym for a month. How could I? I had genuine reasons; I was snowed under at work and then the same routine followed, tomorrow for sure, Saturday is my day off I will manage some how, ok Sunday for sure… uhh… forget it I’ll start from Monday.
God only knows when will I finally set foot in the gym but I know one thing for sure I am not renewing my membership.
