Step Away From the Cake

Or something like that. So I woke up Monday feeling pretty good. Felt like my cold was on the wane and I was feeling rather chippy. Walked to and from school. Had a good day in school.

I'm trying to work this out in my head but that never works well, so here I am putting words to paper so to speak. Here are my thoughts:  I want to do weights 2x per week, I want to run 3x per week, and I want to do yoga 2x per week. That is 7 days.
