Face it to Erase it!

This is my monthly resolution. I have come to find that making a list of things to do for a year simply does not work for me. I can barely make it a week without having to re-evaluate my plans. So here goes nothing. This is what I want to accomplish for the month of January.

• Cardio at least three times a week
• Strengthening at least two times a week
• Yoga or Pilates at least once a week

I am at the bottom coming up the stairs, I hit the light switch, the lamp globe falls, bounces down the stairs and shatters all over the stairs while at the same time… Continue
