We’ve all been guilty of promising ourselves to start the New Year with some healthy lifestyle resolution. As that same sentence says- it’s a lifestyle, not a diet. So… how can you make this New Year Resolution stick? The secret is to take it day by day and follow steps that will help create that new lifestyle routine instead of diving head first into a strict regimen and diet never before done that will last 2 weeks tops.
