a year in review

There you have it. 2013 is in the books. Done with school, moving out, and off to the races with my first job. Wrt my fitness goals, I've fallen behind where I'd like to be. I hope I'm able to get up to speed with the new year. I think it might be a good exercise to outline what I believe a healthy lifestyle looks like i.e. time management of a healthy person.
