Turn on any TV station and you'll instantly know what time of year it is. That's because every other commercial is pushing a diet plan or piece of exercise equipment. They're getting a jump on the new leaf everyone's shortly going to turn.
Strange folks have already started showing up on the walking trail in the park. You know the folks I mean; the ones who are "really going to do it" this year. I've gotten pretty good at picking the ones I'll see again, and those I won't.
It's an attitude thing. The folks with a spring in their step, enjoying the scenery and fresh air, will be back. The ones staring at the ground, putting one foot in front of another like they're going to the gallows, will develop fifty excuses why they can't do it.
I'm pretty sure the guy munching the Big Mac got lost looking for a short-cut to the ice cream store.
