Drive to be healthy

Unfortunately, obesity in this nation is snowballing, and more and more people are finding themselves either overweight or too high in body fat.  Heart disease and other afflictions such as diabetes go along with this weight problem.  In my family, diabetes, chronic heart problems, and obesity are all prevalent and my genes dispose me to these diseases.  I've been seeing television commercials about "Commit to be Fit!" and "Join the Fitness Challenge!" ... So this year, I have vowed to make a healthier lifestyle.  My first and most important resolution is to go to the gym and take a workout class five days a week without fail.  Secondly, I'm going to try to include more veggies and fruits in my diet.  And thirdly, I'm going to drag my mom along this healthy path with me.  We're going to fight our genes and get healthy or bust!
