My goal

As a college freshman I am sad to admit that I have fallen into the pit of eating unhealthy, not getting enough sleep, and not exercising nearly enough (walking around campus is definitely not enough). So I have decided to make it my goal for the rest of the semester, and on into summer (although in different ways) to start eating healthier, and exercising more, I'll try to get more sleep, although I don't want to try to do everything at once and fail in all areas. I'm going to start by improving my eating habits:

1. Carry a water bottle at all times to make sure I drink more water.
2. Drink water with my meals rather than pop or juice or milke (I'm allergic to the protein in milk).
3. I'm buying already made salad and fresh deli meat to keep in my fridge at school.
4. I'm going to pop in a piece of sugar free gum when I feel the need to snack.
5. I'm going to stop eating when I'm full instead of overeating and feeling stuffed.
6. I'm going to eat more fruits and vegetables.

Secondly I'm going to get back in shape by:

1. Swimming laps 3 times a week at the hper.
2. Run at least twice a week either on the walking trail or at the hper.
3. I'm going to stretch each morning as soon as I wake up, and get moving right away to jump start my metabolism and keeping it high throughout the day.
4. I'm going to do 15 minutes of pilates at least 2 times a week.
5. Take a long walk at least 2 times a week.

...also by doing these things, I will feel better during the day and sleep better at night which will help with the sleeping habit.

I'm tired of feeling exhausted, and not liking the way I look, so I have decided to do something about it!
