I know it would seem obvious that I would just talk about eating and exercise in relationship to the New Year, but I believe it's really about the whole picture in regards to improving one's health and waistline — not just about eating healthier and exercising more, but how we are living mind, body, and spirit.<br>

It's more critical to figure out what you think is important to you in your life. What do you value? How do you want to spend your time? What is driving you — stuff, cash, family, quality of life? Where does your health fall on this list?<br>

So, when I ask how you can be a better human being in 2007, sure, I am trying to slip in eating better and moving with greater frequency, but we are just fit shells if we don't address the spirit within us. My body is only a vehicle, but my spirit is the true essence of who I am. If we can connect the dots, I believe that the ways we can be better are unlimited. Not to mention it can make things a lot more fun while we're here.
