We're now in the second week of January, and if your willpower is waning, don't give up on your New Year's resolutions just yet. Join the Get Fit For 2010 community group and contest instead. We know that going it alone when making changes can be rough, so we've created a group to help us all stay on track. Plus, you can win prizes while working toward becoming a healthier you.

The first challenge is to create a blog post about your health and fitness goals for 2010 in the Get Fit group, but why not video blog like my pal LilSugar?

Create a video blog like Heather and you will get extra credit in the contest for doing so. Yep, a video blog counts as two entries toward this week's prize of a $100 gift card from Nike and toward the grand prize as well. In three months we will randomly select from all the entries one lucky winner to receive a $1,000 gift card from Nike; a year of personalized nutrition plans by nutritionist Alexa Fishback, plus a copy of her book; a year membership to 24 Hour Fitness for you and a friend; and two Bodybuggs.

Ready to video blog but need a little technical help? Here's how to video blog.

My niece has some of the best eating habits of any one-year-old. Again, I attribute this largely to the dedication of my brother and his wife to expose her to a wide variety of foods. Now that my niece has just started getting some teeth she has started moving from puree to more solids. This recipe for roasted veggies is great for babies and just as wonderful for adults too! Also, any root veggie will work just pick something that is in season.
