My New Year’s Resolution last year was healthy eating. For 3 months, I wrote down every morsel of food and every minute of exercise rated mild, average or serious. Then I took 2 months off, yet kept eating mostly healthy and walked with a pedometer to track my steps. I know it takes 21 consistent days to change a habit. I’m now more aware of indulgences and count on fiber to cover my mistakes.

I made a resolution in 1999 to fix my credit and do whatever it took to own my own house. I succeeded and am still plugging along. It’s been tough the last couple of years but I wanted this so bad and I am dedicated to not losing it. Which is why my goal for 2009 is to better control my finances so I don’t risk the house in these troubled times.

Thanks for this opportunity.
