That’s one thing we forget to take into consideration when making a new goal is that we will have ..read more

If we are talking about a health goal, say to lose the COVID 15 and you are thinking of starting a new program; time is often a big factor. A new healthy eating plan takes too much time. Time to: Learn the new plan, prep healthy food, go grocery shopping. I talk about ways to save time when starting a new heal ..read more
