I really don't believe in New Years resolutions and those sort of promises that we make to Our self just to fail miserable  and find One self on square one again in February. On the flip side having a date were One may start life all over, make the old new, change the prospective of how we see things and to take that fist step in to the new. So when 2014 came in I made up my mind to make changes for the better. Frist one was to stop drinking and the second a better and third some exercise just to feel better. So far I have not drink till this very day the 24 of January  and we know that once the  body gets use to anything after 21 days. Same thing with eating right, once the body realizes that you giving it great nutrition it will react to it. Now got to doing exercise  but is to dam cold out there.
