Well, that\u2019s one thing that the government is right about!  Personally, I\u2019m going to be writing a lot more about food in 2012, so I plan on sampling a lot of great new dishes.  My plan is to eat light, healthy meals when I\u2019m at home so that I am free to indulge a bit more when I\u2019m out and about.  <\/p>\n<p>That is why I was excited when Erin over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.themotherhood.com\/\">TheMotherhood<\/a> asked me to be a \u201cSpecial K Resolution Reporter\u201d at an event next Monday.  I will be joining several of my blogging friends (<a href=\"http:\/\/selfishmom.com\/\">Amy Oztan<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/nextkidthing.com\/\">Jen Rabulan-Bertram<\/a>,<a href=\"http:\/\/newyorkchica.com\/\"> Lisa Perez <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.themotherhood.com\">Emily McKhann<\/a>) in covering the event.  The details are below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>What:<\/strong> In an effort to help people focus on what they will gain by losing weight and being healthy, Special K is hosting this special event.  While there, people will be able to step on a super-sized scale to reveal what they will GAIN when they lose weight in 2011.  There won\u2019t be any numbers on the scale.  Rather, there will be an inspirational word or phrase that focuses on the emotional benefit of achieving your goals.  (Now you know that I would <strong>not<\/strong> ask you to weigh yourself in public!  I don\u2019t even weigh myself in front of my husband. :-))  <\/p>\n<p>In addition, participants (who want to do so) will have the chance to be part of the next Special K commercial.  They can also write their personal \u201cgain\u201d on Special K cereal packaging, take a photo with it and share it with other women on the SpecialK.com community.  Lastly, there will be coupon books, samples of Special K cereal and snacks and T-shirts for attendees while supplies last.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When:<\/strong> Monday, Jan. 3rd from 2pm -5pm <\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong>Times Square Studios (1500 Broadway, between 43rd and 44th Street)<\/p>\n<p>It should be fun, so please stop by if you are in the area.  I will be there between 3pm and 4pm and I would love to see you.  Even if you can\u2019t make it, you can visit www.SpecialK.com to get more information on their products and the Special K Challenge\/weight management plan.  In any event, I like that this project is shifting the focus from what you will lose (besides weight) to what you will gain by being at a healthy weight. Personally, I know that I <strong>need<\/strong> to be healthy\u2026just to keep up with my three guys!  <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>If \u201closing weight\u201d is one of your resolutions\/goals, what do <u>you<\/u> hope to gain?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>(Disclosure: I am being compensated for participating in this assignment.
