DETROIT – Rhonda Walker: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Over most years of my life, I have never been the type to make New Year’s Resolutions. I have always tried to live a good healthy life year-round and never felt like I needed to give up or start anything just because the year changed. But with more years of living I have found that I have areas I can improve in my life, like the usual eat healthier, work out more. But the last few years I resolved to try and drink more water.

It’s my husband first question or recommendation whenever I’m not feeling the greatest, tummy ache – How much water did you have today? Head ache – how much water did you have today? Muscle Aches – Try to drink more water today!
So how did I do in 2019? Let’s just say it is an ongoing effort for me, I have my good days and not so good days when it comes to trying to drink enough water every day. But if you are looking for an attainable resolution that is good for your health, I recommend trying to drink more water.
My husband also suggested eating Vegan for a month in January but I’m still on the fence on that??? I’ll keep you posted.
Happy New Year to you and yours and if you are planning to make a resolution in the new year, good luck!
