Day 8: Consistency.
If you want to successfully make a lifestyle change, consistency is key. This means not setting limits on when the change is 'done' or 'over,' rather thinking of it as a journey. It may not look the same every day. It may not be perfect. But it's a continual effort that moves forward.
12 Days of Wellness: Day 3
Why wait until New Year's to start thinking about resolutions? I'm not a big fan of the cliche goals, like "Go to the gym more" or "Eat healthier."

Word to the Well: Fats & Oils
Word to the Well: SUGAR
You know it’s bad, but it’s everywhere. How bad could it really be? We associate sweet treats with parties and happy memories, it’s what we crave after a bad day, it’s how we express love to someone, it’s that afternoon pick-me-up. Sound about right?
Kudos to the sugar industry (and advertisers) for imbedding our need for sugar so deeply within our culture, that it’s taken about 70 years for us to wake up.
