according to behavioral experts it takes 21 days for a new learned behavior to become a habit and part of your normal routine?

Interesting news for those embarking on new's year's diet and fitness goals:)

As a matter of fact, I did know that.

Did some training with a trucking company that put two students together as a team for three weeks because of that very fact.
