New Year and your New Year’s Resolutions
Well, we are well into our second week of 2019. Let’s guess, this is the year you exercise more, eat healthier, drink less, quit smoking, save more money? Just one problem, that's what you said last year and just about this time last year was the last time you had a salad or have been to the gym! Research has been done and advice has been followed.
