So, how are your New Year's resolutions going?

Every year I find there are many folks like me who have made resolutions for the new year, but by the end of the first month those pledges start to lose steam.

Yes indeed folks, we are through January and I have already started to look back on my New Year's resolution. I want to send some positive energy to all of you who, like me, made "getting in better shape" a priority.

As the champion for the "Healthiest Town in America" initiative, trying to be a role model has taken many twists and turns over the last five years. One way I monitor how I am doing is by having a "reality check" during the holiday season. I am happy to say I found I could go through an entire holiday season without dieting and still not gain weight.

But this particular new year is really something special in my life. You see, in April I will turn 60. As I looked at the next 20 years of my life, I decided that it was in my best interest to really try to get in a healthier state for those amazing years of 60-80. My quest has become to be "flat at 60."

I learned from my Healthiest Town in America experiences that the risk for heart disease and high blood pressure can be told by looking at a person's stomach, particularly the amount and shape of the fat on one's stomach. So this year I decided to go all out and try to reduce my "belly" as much as I could by my 60th birthday. My goal is that my stomach will be "flat at 60."

To be honest, though, I started my New Year's resolution at the end of November. As usual, I was looking at how not to gain weight during the holidays, but that is no longer an issue. So starting on the road to a better and trimmer body became my goal.

I can hear giggling as I type this. It's my co-workers taking turns getting on our office scale. You see, I have also learned over the past five years that sticking to resolutions is much easier when you do it with someone. Well, if doing it with someone else makes it easier, I figured the more people are included, the easier it might be.

So now Gina, Phyllis, Christa and Mary have joined Deb and me in pledging not to gain weight for an entire year.
