Happy New Year!!! The time of year has approached where many students have promised to follow a healthy diet and go to the gym….commit, commit, commit! How many of last years ‘New Years Resolutions’ are your students still following? For those who may not have achieved or maintained last year’s ‘New Years Resolutions,’…don’t worry help is available! Here are some resources for those who have succeeded in maintaining that healthy lifestyle change AND for those who may be struggling but are willing to make small changes that can have everlasting results.
