Resolution #3: Better in the Kitchen
Amaze yourself once a week. In the kitchen. Once a week, do something you've never done before. Learn to make one thing you love to eat. Something that always made you think, this is great but I probably shouldn't try this at home by myself. You should. Here's how.

Take This Test. Right now.
OK, it's not really a test. More like a quick online survey. It's called "How Fit Are You Really?" It's all about your Cardio-Respiratory Fitness level.
