\n<\/TABLE>We’re gonna take a little break from the usual million-step fare to talk about something a little more timely — New Year’s resolutions.<\/p>\n

As the big ball drops tonight, countless people will be contemplating plans to improve their lives in 2008.<\/p>\n

Starting tomorrow, gym memberships will spike as people sign up with stern dedication to start exercising and drop some extra weight. Others will vow to quit smoking or work a little less. Some might even vow to walk a few more steps each day. <\/p>\n

Anyway, we’ve all heard how many New Year’s Resolutions often last about as long as a snowman in June. <\/p>\n

So, for those of you who are going to make a resolution and are looking for motivational tactics that will allow you hold to those promises, here’s a thought — document them for all to see. <\/p>\n

That’s right, send a note describing your resolution to today@unmc.edu<\/a>, we’ll publish it and it can then be found forever in the UNMC Today archives. <\/p>\n

What this creates is the opportunity for a little helpful, albeit pesky, peer pressure. <\/p>\n

The next time you find yourself heading to the office donut bin in a weak moment, your co-workers can simply pull up your resolution on a computer and remind you that you vowed to the entire campus that you were going to avoid eating donuts on Friday mornings in 2008. <\/p>\n

Or maybe, you’ll be able to remind that co-worker who is about to use an elevator that he or she resolved to use the stairs for the year. <\/p>\n

The deadline for resolution submission is Thursday, Jan. 18. The resolutions will be published in the Jan. 21 Million-step Monday story. <\/p>\n

UNMC employees who have recently reached a 250,000-step markers in the 1 Million Step Challenge can have their accomplishments published in UNMC Today by sending an e-mail to today@unmc.edu<\/a> with their names, departments and step milestones reached.<\/I><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
