I've recently started doing yoga, which I've grown to love. I go to boot camp at the gym, which I love. I've done a little bit of lifting, which I also love. Oh yea, and I want to start running again, which I definitely don't love but recognize the benefit in doing it.
This article did a pretty good job of summing things up:

Basically, it says to pick a priority and do that 3 days a week and do the other thing 2 days a week. So right now, I think boot camp is my priority (or lifting... but 3 days a week of strength training). And two days a week of running. I can do that. In an ideal world, I will also start actually waking up at 5 am when my alarm goes off and doing yoga every morning. The hard thing is going to be in January when logically my focus needs to shift from strength training to running so I can do the Shamrock Half Marathon in March. I don't want running to be my priority (yes I know, then I should probably stop signing up for half marathons...).
So here's the plan:
Sunday- Rest day
Monday- Run
Tuesday- Boot camp
Wednesday-Run
Thursday- Boot camp
Friday- Lift??
Saturday- Bootcamp
Since tomorrow is Sunday and deemed a rest day, I'm off to a good start. ☺☺☺☺
