A MILLENNIAL RESOLUTION

© Cindy Ovard

WOW! It's a new century. It's an exciting time to be alive. To think that my family and I will move into a new century is truly exciting times.

Our resolution is simple and straight forward. We are going to become a physically fit family. I know, I know. This is the resolution that most everyone makes the first of January and it slowly dies out two weeks into February. After reading Dr. Coop's article on having a physically fit family I'm going to keep up on this and make it happen. I will, I will, I will. To be truthfully honest, my hubster and I began a fitness/health program nearly three months ago and have done very well with it even over the month holiday between Thanksgiving and New Years. We both lost weight and have kept it off. Now our goal is to make it a family oriented program and help each family member learn what nutrition is and what physically fit means. (not running from the kitchen table to the couch for TV either)

Your family together time needs to be enjoyable and this is just a way to have some Family Fitness Fun.

Join us this year as we celebrate our new millenium and as we resolve to become better people. As physically fit family members we can be happier and easier to live with. Ask my kids if Mom is much nicer to be around after she's taken thirty minutes to briskly walk off stress rather than chasing them around the block while they run as fast as they can only to have me catch them and still have to deal with the stress. I'd rather deal with the stress in a positive way than have my kids run for the track team because they learned how to run fast from Mom chasing them.

Enjoy this New Year with your family.
