Variety is the spice of life! Stay on track with your health and fitness goals, but switching things up a bit from time to time, especially when it comes to what you’re eating. If you keep eating the same things over and over again, you’re likely to get bored and fall off the wagon; however, switching things up keeps the journey fresh!
