Military mom aims to get into tip-top shape
Programming note: CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta follows Denise Rampolla's progress on American Morning's "New You Resolution," 6-10 a.m. ET. Denise Rampolla wants to teach her family healthy eating habits. SPECIAL REPORT(CNN) -- Denise Rampolla is looking forward to finding ways to improve her family's health by participating in CNN's "New You Resolution." Rampolla's military family of six includes four children, ages 7-14. She puts in a number of hours of work in her Cheyenne, Wyoming, home before heading to her job, supporting military families through deployment and separation. The 36-year-old describes her home as "organized chaos." She usually doesn't have a lot of time for lunch or dinner. All of her children are on soccer teams, so there's homework and practices to tend to after school, which leaves little time for well-planned-out meals. "You can look in our freezer," Rampolla says. "You've got your standard frozen pizzas there, cream chipped beef, little crab rolls. Lots of frozen vegetables." Rampolla and her husband, Pedro, who is also a New You participant, are looking to shape up their entire family. Here are Denise Rampolla's goals for the "New You Resolution": 1. Keep a diary to figure out food pitfalls. 2. Teach the family healthy eating habits between car pools. 3. Slow down family activity and start exercising more. Check back here over the next two months for weekly updates on how she's doing. And follow along in the Buddy Blog as Rampolla and the other five "New You Resolution" participants discuss their trials and triumphs.
