It's already the end of January, but it seems like just yesterday the New Year had you reciting mantras of health and wellness and promising to switch to organic, locally-sourced quinoa. Have your ambitions of toned abs and daily protein shakes with super boosts dwindled since then as the couch and whatever new season of "Real Housewives of Hades" felt so much more inviting with life returning to normal?
