Happy New Year to you all! I cannot believe 2012 is here already. If you are anything like me, you are still trying to figure out when you are going to have time to put away the holiday decorations, clean up after your holiday parties, and recover from all of the holiday craziness. Sometimes, I think that our healthy diet and exercise regimens get ignored when our lives get too busy. Jennifer and I are two very REAL people that know exactly how this feels. We are hoping that this blog will help create strategies for people so that they can have better balance their health, career, and personal lives.
