A few weeks ago I declared that I was going to get healthier; eat better, exercise, and just take all around better care of myself. Well…that has yet to happen. My intentions are still good, however I will just have to take baby steps. Or crawl. Or lay on my back, flail my arms and cry. Whatever works.

Lets get to the news:
