Have you given up on those resolutions you made in January? Did you fail with your “fresh start?” Don’t worry about it, spring has sprung, and out of all the seasons, spring probably offers your best shot for making the life changes necessary to lose weight, not the dreaded January weight-loss season. Think about it.…
The pedometer/walking competition has begun at my firm and it is a fierce competition! Suddenly, people are parking further away, delivering other people’s copies from the printer and taking the stairs whenever they can. They are also changing up their personal and weekend routines—taking hikes, bike rides and longer dog walks (my Bella sure is…
