Time Again for Weight Loss Resolutions

The number one resolution for the New Year is losing weight.  January in a gym is filled with people who have decided they are actually going to lose weight….this time.  The old faces grimace as they see new faces they know will only last the few weeks on the treadmill before calling it a year.  Losing weight always comes with good intentions but follow through is a different story.

There are so many things I want to get done and somehow the prospect of a new year makes me think … Continue reading →
