Lexington social media company launches first

custom Facebook photo gallery tab

Talent Attach of Lexington KY, the lead-ing provider of social media design, de-velopment and marketing services in Kentucky, has announced the release of the first customized Facebook photo gallery tab. This photo gallery tab en-ables brands to showcase their products, events, employees and overall brand in a way that their competition cannot, un-less they reach out to Talent Attach.

“We are always the bleeding edge in so-cial media design and development -- we are culturally relevant designers/market-ers and we leave the cutting edge to the ones who use our ideas,” said Tim Sav-age, company founder & CEO.

“This was exciting to work on, and I love that Facebook has opened their develop-ment environment to iFrames. We now have the freedom to create some re-ally cool, interactive tabs that we hadn’t seen around before - especially for local brands - which opens up some unique opportunities,” said Kent Kobayashi, lead web designer.

“The most important thing for us at Talent Attach is to focus on creative, forward-thinking ideas that allow us to market our clients’ brands in new and exciting ways. Nowadays, social media is the ultimate medium to showcase a brand’s ‘personality’ in a way that tra-ditional advertising could never offer,” said Steven Gammon, director of opera-tions.

Talent Attach will continue to develop new Facebook marketing & design ideas, always trying to discover what can make a significant impact in social media. The first brands to showcase their new tech-nology are former Kentucky Wildcat & current Detroit Piston’s point guard, Brandon Knight and WKYT news tele-vision journalist Andy Cunningham.

Committee votes to reinvent Rupp, support district plan

A committee appointed by Mayor Jim Gray to re-imagine Rupp Arena and the 46 city-owned acres around it Saturday strongly recommended that Rupp be re-invented, not replaced, and revealed what Gray called an “extraordinary, in-spirational” conceptual image of what the historical arena might look like in the future.

“What’s best? The committee says keep-ing Rupp is best,” Gray said. “Building on the energy that’s already there is best. Reinventing is best, doing to the inside what makes it competitive for UK bas-ketball, concerts and the Sweet 16 is best. Doing to the outside what makes it ex-traordinary and inspiring for our city is best. Making a decision that makes good business sense is best.”

Gray said he strongly supports the plan approved unanimously Saturday morn-ing by the Planning and Design Com-mittee of the Rupp Arena, Arts and En-tertainment Task Force. Supporting the plan were Pam Miller, Ray Ball, Michael Speaks, Bill Henkel, Bill Lear, Debbie Long, Stephen Huffman, Tom Cheek, Craig Greenberg and Chris Young.

In addition to endorsing the reinvention of Rupp, the group also supported plans for the district, the 46 acres surrounding Lexington Center.

The conceptual image for Rupp and the district plan are the work of SPACE GROUP, an architectural firm that has built an international reputation for ex-cellence. SPACE GROUP’s Gary Bates is master planner of the District.

“Lexington is in a unique position to learn from its past, observe the experi-ence of other cities, and use its strengths and special identity to build the future,” Bates said. “The major difference be-tween today’s Rupp and tomorrow’s Rupp is that the experience for the public will extend beyond the arena to the city – a true icon for Lexington.

Stan Harvey, an urban designer with Urban Collage in Lexington, serves as project manager, the glue holding to-gether all of the plan’s moving parts … consultants, citizen input, businesses and downtown stakeholders. “The de-velopment plan illustrates the power of bringing together all aspects of our community to define a vision for our future,” Harvey said.

Brent Rice, task force chair, said the plan is remarkable. “It took what we already have and built on it. It uses what we have, conserves what we have and improves what we have,” Rice said. “The district leverages all that’s special, unique and authentic in the 46 acres. The work that’s been done to imagine the district has been remarkable.”

Pam Miller, former mayor and Chair of the Planning and Design Committee, said the district plan reverses some of the changes made back when Rupp was built in the early 70s. “When we were build-ing Lexington Center the city leveled a neighborhood to create a parking lot,” said Miller, who fought the destruction of the neighborhood as a councilmem-ber. “We put Rupp on an island. This plan envisions a Rupp Arena and a dis-trict that interacts with the surrounding blocks.”

The District plan envisions a number of far-reaching changes:

FREE RUPP •A modest increase in number of seats could be created through the renova-tion.•The best possible atmosphere for re-cruiting and fan experience.•State of art technology - scoreboards, video and sound systems •Modern support space - media space and team locker rooms.•Catwalk – pedestrian connection to campus. •The conceptual image shows Rupp with a translucent skin that brings the inside action outside. •A reinvented Rupp can put more fans closer to the action than newer arenas do. •The Cats and Sweet 16 could continue to play at Rupp during the renovation (underway in Madison Square Garden).•Premium seating can be incorporated. •No more metal bleachers, chair back seats throughout the arena.

NEW CONVENTION CENTER•The plan proposes a new convention center after studies of the current facil-ity demonstrated it is too small to be competitive and strongly warned against more additions to our outdated facility. •Several buildings linked by public walk-way.•Location would be the Cox Street park-ing lot, or possibly the High Street park-ing lot.

WITHIN THE DISTRICT•Town Branch water feature •Underground Parking •Amphitheater •Main Street and High Street retail •Arts and education facilities

BUSINESS SENSE •Price tag for a reinvented Rupp and a new convention center is estimated at $300 million. Costs are half as much to make Rupp state-of-the-art as to build a new arena. •Public/private partnership development opportunities.•More accessible, attractive retail.

Gray said the district plan is ambitious, as it should be. “Whether it’s today or to-morrow or the day after tomorrow, next year or two years from now … It. Will. Happen. Look, UK, our arts, our down-town are too big a brand to keep cooped up, as they are now, when we could have what Gary Bates has envisioned.”

Walking is a safe and effective way to meet those New Year’s fitness resolutions. It might sound crazy,

but you could be walking the wrong way. In fact, improper technique can cause strain on your body and even result in injury. The Wellness Council of America offers these dos and don’ts.

DON’T: Walk with old shoes. The typical ath-letic shoe is built to last only 350 to 500 miles, or an average of 3 to 6 months. Old shoes no longer provide proper support or cushioning increasing your risk for shin splints, plantar fas-ciitis or even injury.DO: Select a walking shoe based on your foot type. Choose motion control shoes for low arches, stability shoes for medium arches, or neutral shoes for high arches. DON’T: Wear cotton socks. Cotton holds sweat next to the skin, which allows blisters to form more quickly. DO: Choose synthetic or wool socks. Synthetic fabrics such as CoolMax wick the moisture away from the skin so it can be evaporated in

the shoe. DON’T: Over-stride – when you try to walk fast, a natural inclination is to lengthen your stride in the front, reaching out further with your forward foot. This increases the risk of straining your leg muscles. DO: Take shorter, quicker steps. If you want to move faster, taking shorter, quicker strides is the way to go. DON’T: Be a stiff arm – straight, motionless arms act like a long pendulum, slowing you down. Lack of arm movement can also throw off your balance as you walk. DO: Bend your arms at 90 degrees and swing them naturally back and forth, opposite the leg motion – you can add power and speed by using your arms effectively. DON’T: Put your head down – walking with your head down could cause back, neck, and shoulder strain. DO: Look up! Good posture for walking allows you to breathe well. Your chin should be parallel to the ground, and your eyes should focus on the street or track 10 to 20 feet ahead. DON’T: Lean your body – leaning your body

forward or backward doesn’t contribute to speed or good technique. In fact, leaning can result in back pain. DO: Stand up straight but with relaxed shoul-ders, chin parallel to the ground. Your back should have a natural curve. If you feel a strain in your lower back, you’re probably not at a relaxed position. DON’T: Continue your walking if you feel any pain – by neglecting your pain you risk worsen-ing the injury. DO: Use ice or take pain relievers to alleviate the pain. For more serious injuries call or visit your health care professional.

Pinsomnia

Despite the fact I’m familiar with many of the cutting-edge social media technologies, I am of-

ten hesitant to adopt them because I’m already too busy with blogging, Twitter, Facebook and my iPhone. However, my latest obsession Pinterest.com has sur-passed them all - and believe me, that’s really saying something. It’s more than a site, it’s a lifestyle. My husband would say an addiction.

I’ve gone from being a bored cook to being constantly inspired to try the onslaught of new, fabulous recipes. The endless barrage of crafts and styles motivate me to action and I am completely addicted to the fash-ion/beauty section where I have found a collection of the most innovative, creative and accessibly stylish offerings on the Web that are updated every second. But, I’m getting ahead of myself here. If you’re not familiar, here are a few basics.

What is Pinterest? According to Pinter-est’s “About Us” page, it is a virtual pin board — a place where you can create collections of things you love and “fol-low” collections created by people with great taste. People use Pinterest to collect and share all sorts of things — recipes, holiday ideas, travel, crafts, kid’s activi-ties. You name it, people are pinning it.

How do you get a Pinterest invite? Why are invites to Pinterest even necessary? If you ask me for an invite by email, I’ll send you an invite ([email protected])! Warning: it might take a few days, but I’ll get to it, I promise! Why is Pinterest registration by invite only? I honestly don’t know. That’s the way they want it, so that’s the way it is. It can be all very Zen if you think about it the right way.

Why I love it: I am a visual creature and my computer’s bookmarks just don’t cut it. The process is simple: if you see a Web site you like, simply copy-and-paste the URL. Or, if it is already on Pinterest.com, simply “repin.”

What should you pin on Pinterest? Think of your Pinterest boards as if they were actual 3D inspiration boards. What is it that is beautiful to you? What do you dream of having, seeing, doing, hearing, reading, wearing? What is that you want to remember and come back to? Pinter-est is all the best about inspiration bul-letin boards combined with all the best of social book marking. Let that premise guide you as you pin.

How much does it cost to be on Pinterest.com? This is a very good question. Since Pinterest is free to use, and there are no ads anywhere, one has to wonder – how are they making any money to keep the site going? The site says they are “well-funded by a group of successful entrepre-neurs and investors”. Since advertising would really spoil the spirit of grass roots community and sharing that Pinterest is clearly cultivating, I wouldn’t be sur-prised to see them go the other direction and introduce subscription fees some-where down the line. Perhaps the site will be free just long enough to get everyone hooked.

I could go on, but the important thing is for you to get on Pinterest.com. Rumor has it there is a waiting list to join (a tes-tament of its popularity).Happy pinning! (But don’t say you haven’t been warned ...).

January 2012Happy New Year! As we embark on 2012, I want to take this opportunity to wish all Lexingtonians a healthy and prosper-ous year, I and hope it will see our city grow and thrive.

We on the Urban County Council are working to make sure that the city is given every opportunity to do just that. We are just now coming out of our win-ter recess, and soon we will be back to a full schedule of committee meetings, work sessions, and council meetings. It is hard to believe that it is already that time of year, but one of our most impor-tant responsibilities looms on the hori-zon: the budget.

As you read this, Mayor Jim Gray is hard at work putting together his proposed budget for the 2013 fiscal year.

In April, the mayor will present his pro-posed budget to the council, and we will break up into several “budget links” de-signed to evaluate various parts of the budget. These links will make recom-mendations, additions and subtractions to the mayor’s proposed budget, and the vouncil will work with the mayor to ar-rive at a mutually agreed upon budget for the upcoming fiscal year. This process can be lengthy, trying and sometimes even contentious, but it demonstrates

your local democracy at work and en-sures that many voices are heard when it comes to funding of various govern-ment entities, agencies, and services.

With the state of the economy, this past year has been very difficult financially, and we are sure to be faced with more difficult decisions this upcoming bud-get season. Rest assured that this coun-cilmember understands the importance of making sound, fiscally responsible decisions when it comes to your tax dol-lars, and I will fight to make sure that they go where they are needed and not spent on questionable items.

With the new year upon us, I encour-age all Lexingtonians to get out into their community and experience all that it has to offer. I’m sure most of you have no-ticed the changes downtown, from new and improved sidewalks and streets to a revamped Triangle Park, complete with an outdoor ice skating rink. In addition, our office has received numerous calls regarding the future of Rupp Arena and the surrounding entertainment district. The task force is just starting to come out with ideas and presentations, and I encourage you to visit the city’s website (www.lexingtonky.gov) for more infor-mation on these ideas.

As always, I encourage you to contact my office if you have any questions, con-cerns or suggestions. My office remains open to all citizen input, and I am eager to hear your opinions of how we can im-prove our great city.

You can contact me at [email protected], or call my office at (859) 258-3214. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you, and I wish you and your fami-lies a very happy new year!

Individuals from area corporations, military groups, agencies, and non-profits met for lunch and a meeting. The group discussed ways to work together in 2012 to insure increased employment in the area, not only for National College graduates but for all the individuals who attended the event.

By Mira S. BallHere’s a great idea for building a stronger workforce: invest in early care and education programs.

The relationship between these two areas is stronger than you might think. Research, in Kentucky and across the nation, has con-cluded that investing in quality early care and education programs yields returns of better education, better health, less criminal behavior and lower costs to society as a whole – all part of a foundation for personal and economic growth.

Kentucky has had a preschool program in our public schools since the 1990 passage of the Kentucky Education Reform Act. Families with incomes of up to 150 percent of the fed-eral poverty level qualify for the program.

The state also has had strong programs in place for younger children and their families, created as part of the KIDS NOW initiative enacted in 2000.

But both must become much higher priorities on the state’s public agenda. Expanding eligi-bility for the preschool program to 200 per-cent of the federal poverty level, for example, would give 16,000 more children access to an early, quality education.

Making a significant difference well before a child is ready for preschool is another area of great opportunity. And Kentucky has a wonderful program already in place to support pregnant women, new parents and young children. The problem: funding for this forward-looking program is in decline.

Known as HANDS (Health Access Nurtur-ing Development Services), the voluntary program matches parents with trained professionals who make regular visits to their homes to provide information and support during pregnancy and up to the child’s second birthday. Parents with high risk factors such as poverty, teen pregnancy and low education levels qualify, regardless of family income.

The home visitors focus on medical needs, home safety, developmental screening, basic care, social, emotional and brain development and strong parent-child relationships. More than 10,000 families have been served each

year since the program’s creation in 2000.

The results are impressive: fewer premature births, fewer children with developmental de-lays, fewer emergency room visits, improved education and increased employment for families and a dramatically lower (70 percent less than statewide) infant mortality rate.

HANDS and other quality early childhood programs are funded in large part with 25 percent of the money Kentucky receives under the Tobacco Settlement Agreement, brokered in 1998 between states and major tobacco companies to resolve lawsuits and address other matters.

As smoking has declined, the tobacco settle-ment funds have diminished, and KIDS NOW funding has slipped from a high of $30 million to $24.3 million in the current fiscal year. That means fewer families are served by HANDS and other programs, such as quality child care and immunizations, that are part of KIDS NOW. It also means Kentucky is attracting fewer federal funds. Many of the families served by HANDS are eligible for Medicaid, which brings federal matching funds to the state to help serve more Kentuck-ians.

Kentucky has been fortunate to have the tobacco settlement money to invest in early care programs over the past several years, but the time has now come for the state to provide a stable source of funding to ensure these programs will be sustained in the years ahead.

Gov. Steve Beshear and the 2012 Kentucky General Assembly, in crafting the 2012-14 budget, can make an investment of just a few million tax dollars that will bring a proven return to Kentucky and its families.

I hope they won’t miss this opportunity to ensure a stronger future for our state. Mira S. Ball, co-founder and Chief Financial Officer for Ball Homes LLC in Lexington, is a member of the Prichard Committee’s Business Leadership Council for Pre-K.

Investing in early care, education critical


The University of Kentucky Department of Theatre presents 3Dimensions: Winter Con-cert of Dance. The inaugural concert will be presented at the Guignol Theatre on UK’s campus January 27 at 7:30 p.m. and January 28 at 7:30 p.m.

The concert includes the work of four cho-reographers: Susie Thiel, Blake Pearson and a collaboration between Lyndy Franklin Smith and Jeromy Smith. Admission is $10 for students and $15 for general public. Tickets are available at www.uky.edu/SCFA/and at the Singletary Center for the Arts at (859)257-4929.

Guest Artist Blake Burnham Pearson cre-ates a new work inspired by nuevo tango from composer Astor Piazzolla. Pearson is a dancer, choreographer and faculty member of The Dalton School in New York City. The work explores the dramatic and exhilarat-ing tangos; Fugata, Sur-Regreso Al Amor and Libertango.

The contemporary modern choreography is dramatic and full-bodied, and moves

through space with thmsame urgency, in-tensity and expansiveness that one expects of the highly seductive music.

Choreographer and performer Susie Thiel, dance program coordinator and lecturer of dance at UK, presents a 25-minute work for five performers entitled How to Fold a Pleated Skirt: An Educational Guide. Work-ing collaboratively and using improvisa-tory structures with her cast, Thiel draws on “how-to” instructional guides to create a work that encompasses a mixture of vi-gnettes of moving and speaking bodies.

Lyndy Franklin Smith and Jeromy Smith’s work gives homage to one of musical the-atre’s greatest choreographers, Bob Fosse. Known for creating iconic dances for such shows as The Pajama Game, Damn Yankees, Sweet Charity, Chicago and Kiss Me Kate (to name a few), Fosse’s style and vocabulary of movement have become instantly recogniz-able and have influenced scores of chore-ographers. The Smiths are setting a suite of three numbers in tribute to the legendary choreographer.

Winter Concert of Dance coming up at UK campus



The Bluegrass Sports Commission (BSC) and Alltech are proud to announce the inaugural Bluegrass Sports Awards will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 15, at Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa.

This star-studded evening will feature four prestigious awards given out as a celebration of achievement in Kentucky sports. The night will be a celebration of our state’s rich sports heritage, highlight-ing the achievements of those that have truly made a difference in the lives of Kentuckians. “Alltech is pleased to be the presenting sponsor of the first annual Bluegrass Sports Awards. These award recipients represent some of Kentucky’s greatest ambassadors – individuals who have and continue to promote this state around the country and the world,” said Dr. Pearse Lyons, president and founder of Alltech. “Last year, the spotlight was on Kentucky for the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, an event with over $400 million in economic impact. Alltech shares the

same beliefs as the Bluegrass Sports Com-mission, bringing world class sporting events to Kentucky, from the Bluegrass State Games to legacy events such as the Alltech National Horse Show. We are honored to be a part of this inaugural event.” In the first of four awards presented that night, Lexington native Tom Ham-mond will receive Achievement in Sports Broadcasting honors for success in his profession and his commitment to the community. Hammond has risen to the highest ranks of the sports broadcasting profession and has done so without ever forgetting his roots. He has been one of NBC Sports’ top sportscasters for more than 30 years, while also serving as an ambassador for not only Lexington but the Commonwealth as a whole.

Beginning with his broadcast of the first Breeder’s Cup, he has called events in nearly every sport around the globe, including the NBA, NFL, NCAA, horse racing and the Olympic Games.

A pair of recipients, whose names will be released at a later date, will be honored with the first-ever Jim Host Awards, sponsored by KEMI. The Jim Host Youth Sports Award will be given annually to a Kentuckian that has achieved great success in coaching, administering, volunteering or otherwise associating with youth and/or high school sports that has had a positive impact on their community and the Commonwealth. The Jim Host Sports Business Award will be given annually to a Kentuckian that has achieved a high level of success in the sports industry and has had a positive impact in the state. The evening concludes with the Lexing-ton Herald-Leader’s live announcement of the Kentucky Sportsman of the Year for the first time in the 31-year history of the award. The award has been given annual-ly since 1981 when Roy Kidd received the prestigious honor. The voting is done by print, radio and television sports media from around the state and is coordinated by the Herald-Leader.

“Sports is part of the fabric of Kentucky society and has been for many years,” said Terry Johnson, Executive Director of the BSC. “The Bluegrass Sports Awards will be a way for us to annually recognize individuals that have made tremendous contributions to Kentucky.” The event will consist of a VIP reception with award winners and keynote speak-ers, a sit-down dinner and professionally produced awards program. Proceeds from the evening will benefit the BSC and its efforts to grow the economic impact sports tourism has on central Kentucky. Tables of 10 are available for purchase for $1000, or VIP tables for $1,250. Individual tickets are also available or $100 or $125 or VIP. For more information or to purchase tickets, please call 859-255-0336 or visit us online at www.bluegrasssports.org. For more information about our location sponsor, the Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa, visit griffingatemarriott.com or call 859-231-5100.

According to the USDA dietary guidelines, Americans should make at least half of their grains whole grains. Making it easier to follow these guidelines are two new

products that let you add whole wheat nutrition to your diet without sacrificing flavor, texture or color.

Ultragrain® All-Purpose Flour with Whole Grain tastes and bakes like refined white flour, but is the only all-purpose flour blended with 30 percent Ultragrain whole wheat, giving it 9 grams of whole grain per serving and twice the fiber of other all-purpose flours.

Ultragrain® 100% White Whole Wheat Flour has 100 percent whole grain nutrition with the taste, texture and appearance of refined flour, but with 30 grams of whole grain per serving and four and a half times the fiber of refined flour. They both provide more dietary fiber and protein with fewer calories and carbohydrates than refined wheat flour.

Try this delicious whole grain cookie recipe or use a whole wheat flour in one of your family’s favorites.

GraNDMa’S BeSt ChoColate Chip CookieSHands on: 25 minutes Makes: 24 servings (1 cookie each)1½ cups Ultragrain All-Purpose Flour with Whole Grain½ teaspoon baking soda¼ teaspoon kosher salt⅔ cup unsalted butter, softened⅔ cup firmly packed brown sugar⅓ cup granulated sugar1 egg1½ teaspoons vanilla extract1¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate morselsPreheat oven to 375° F. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl; set aside. Cream butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed 1 to 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, beating until well blended. Gradually add flour mixture beating on low speed after each addition. Stir in chocolate morsels. Drop cookie dough by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheets, 1? inches apart. Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or remove to wire rack and cool completely.

BakiNG tipS• An easy way to add more whole grain nutrition to your favorite recipes is to substitute the same amount of a whole wheat blend of all-purpose flour for standard all-purpose flour. Your baked goods will still be delicious yet more nutritious and your family won’t notice the difference.• For more whole grain goodness, simply mix ? cup of a

Get FIt in the newyear

By Laura Garrett, RD

For many, controlling their weight starts with getting control of impulse eating. Often, in order to change behaviors, people must first acknowledge the patterns of behavior that lead them to eat impulsively.

it StartS With a liStOne of the biggest culprits is going to the grocery store without a list. Supermarkets set up their aisles for impulse buying and quick hunger fixes. Breaking the behavior chain that leads to bad decisions often starts with changing routines. For example:

• Eat a piece of fruit before shopping. • Create a shopping list template-keep copies in the car and add additional items as needed. • Stick to the shopping list. • Use coupons only for items on the list. learN hoW to luNCh Workday lunches can be another opportunity for impulse eating to take hold. If you’re one of those workers who waits until 11:30 (after hunger has already set in) to decide where to go out for lunch or what to order in, you may find yourself often resorting to high-fat, high- calorie options like fast food. Here are some suggestions to make better choices:

• Have fruit at 10 a.m. • Pack a brown-bag lunch the night before. This will also save money. • Pack lunches on sliced bread. Rolls can have twice the calories of sliced bread.\ • Salads are great, but measure the salad dressing or use vinegar.

make mealtime meaningFul Sometimes, simple things can make a difference at mealtime. For instance:

• Choose carbohydrates that are low on the glycemic scale, such as fruits, veggies and whole grains. • Take a supplement containing a white bean extract, Phase 2 Carb Controller, found in Natrol’s Carb Intercept, before eating a carb-rich meal. • Count to 10 before grabbing a bite. Make the slogan “The kitchen closes at 9 p.m.” a mind-set.

toDaY iS a GooD DaY to BeGiN\ Making positive behavior changes to avoid impulse eating is an essential factor in health and weight management. Garrett is an RD and a certified diabetes educator.

Dr. George Veloudis and Amy Claxon PA-C have relocated their well respected clinic to the Wom-

en’s Hospital at Saint Joseph East. The clinic provides comprehensive women’s and primary health care ser-vices. They specialize in Obstetrics and gynecology, pelvic and laser surgery, and advanced infertility care. More specific services are directed towards the evalu-ation and treatment of infertile couples. They have an andrology lab on-site. Known surgical services consist of laser therapy for endometriosis, minimally inva-sive procedures for abnormal and heavy menstrual bleeding, bladder incontinence and the “band aide” hysterectomy.

Dr Veloudis is dual board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology. He is the only osteopathic physician practicing in Kentucky with both OB/GYN and Infertility board certifications. Dr Veloudis was fellowship trained in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, from the University of Kentucky. He has been an active vol-unteer community faculty member, helping with the

University’s physician assistant training program, for several years.

Amy Claxon PA-C is a certified physician’s assistant, specializing in Women’s Health Care. She always strives to take extra time with her patients, making health care more personal and individualized for her patients. Her scope of practice includes routine prenatal and obstetrical care, women’s wellness and menopause, and general and adolescent gynecology. Amy’s patients are always commenting on what a wonderful person she is, she is an asset to the practice.

Dr Veloudis is well known for his success as an infer-tility physician, and has been in local practice since 1999. He has a very high success rate with IVF pa-tients obtaining pregnancy. He is currently construct-ing a new state of the art, IVF lab and infertility center that will open in early 2012. He has helped many couples build their families and has vast experience with such ailments as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, male factor infertility,

fibroids, and recurrent pregnancy loss, to name a few.

Many of the patients that become pregnant through this office choose to stay and continue their care through this specialized clinic. Some of the up to date medical services include 4-D ultrasounds by certi-fied sonograhers, fetal photography, women’s health dietician, and a patient advocate that works together with Dr Veloudis and Amy Claxon.

If you’re like most people, you’ve probably experienced the sudden burst of motivation

that comes in early January after holiday indul-gences have made their way to the waistline, and New Year’s resolutions force you to take a new look at the figure reflected in the mirror. It’s well known that New Year’s resolutions do not have a high success rate. Why not beat the odds this year!?

According to a recent survey by Opinion Corporation in Princeton, NJ, 45% of Ameri-cans usually set New Year’s resolutions. Out of that 45%:

• 8% of people are always successful in achieving their set resolution.• 49% have infrequent success.• 24% (1 in 4) give up on their resolution every year. That means that 3 out of 4 people give up and never succeed.• 38% set resolutions related to losing weight.• 47% set resolutions related to self-improvement and their health.

Wouldn’t it feel great to be able to say that you were not in the 75% that didn’t keep their resolution, but rather be in the 25% that did?

We know that losing weight is always one of the top, if not the most popular, resolutions that are made every year. People often say, “I resolve to lose 20 pounds this year,” but are often clueless about how to lose weight effec-tively or where and how to begin a weight loss program.

S.M.A.R.T. GoalsThe first thing to do is to be “S.M.A.R.T.”

with your goals and write down what you plan to achieve. Dr. Swindler and many weight loss

advocates highly recommend setting specific goals and timelines, which will increase your chances of meeting your goals.

S.M.A.R.T stands for:• Specific – Your goal should be written

as simply and clearly as possible and address how it should be achieved. (What are you going to do, why is your goal important, how are you going to achieve it, etc.)

• Measureable – If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. Choose a goal with measure-able progress (i.e. number of pounds and/or inches lost) so you can actually see the changes that you are making. Otherwise how will you know when you have reached your goal?

• Attainable – You and your doctor should set a goal that is attainable and achievable. If your goal is unrealistic, you will become dis-couraged and give up … again.

• Realistic – Your goal should be achiev-able but may also require extra effort on your part. A positive mindset, positive action, de-termination and consistency will enable you to reach your set goal.

• Time-bound – Setting a realistic time frame for completing your goal will give you a clear and precise target. Without a set time limit, your commitment will be too vague, open-ended and lack a sense of urgency to take action and accomplish your goal.

Better nutrition and exercise should be a part of your weight loss plan. However, it can be challenging to begin working out in the winter. When starting a new workout re-gime, begin carefully. Don’t just get up one day with a plan to run around your neighbor-hood. Discuss your exercise goals with your physician to make sure that it is safe for you.

Also, don’t do it alone; have an accountability partner. Tell your friends and family about the weight loss goal that you intend to meet and how they can help you stay on track and warn them of what can sabotage your weight loss. Telling someone about your intentions for weight loss can help make you feel much more dedicated in reaching your goals. Who knows … maybe you’ll even find a weight loss buddy to join you on your journey to weight loss. Two heads are always better than one, es-pecially when it comes to staying motivated.

Nutritional goals and needs are also differ-ent for everyone and crash diets can be dan-gerous. Be sure to seek the advice of a profes-sional for this.

So, if you are one of the many people who jump on the New Year’s resolution bandwag-on, make it count this year! Don’t get past January without a plan of action. It’s never too late. If you want to lose weight and be-come a healthier you this New Year, Medical Bariatrics of Lexington is just the place for you. Our board certified non-surgical weight loss physicians (bariatricians) can help you make and safely reach your weight loss goals, and keep the weight off for good. This way, there will be no need for you to make another weight loss resolution next year.

“People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas.”
