I'll go first. I have 3 things off the top of my head:

1. eat more vegetables. i'm embarrassingly low on veggie intake. i get 1 serving a day at best.
2. stop procrastinating workouts. i've been pushing them later and later every day, which leads me to #3...
3. get more sleep. i go to bed too late, and have a really hard time getting up. story of my life.

    I need to drink more water
    Eat more raw fruits and veggies
    Definitely need more sleep (we all seem to be sleep deprived on here)

    And I need to work on NOT feeling so guilty when I take time for myself, whether it's to work out or just chill out. Everyone needs 'Me' time!

  • 1. Get more than 4 hours of sleep a night.
    2. Drink more water; however, I did find a great app for my iPhone a couple weeks ago called Waterlogged that I've set to remind me
    to drink my water every 15 mins and I've been able to drink at least my minimum 2 liters a day...trying to work up to 4 liters.
    3. Be more vigilant about working out on the weekends like I am on the week days.

    1. More protein
    2. Less procrastination on workouts, doing weights at 11pm is not working out well. *sigh*
    3. Get back to eating consistently. I get busy and wait too long and then I'm starving, then I'm stuffed. At least I'm always within my calorie range. :ohwell:

    1. EAT MY GREENS! I usually don't like vegetable unless they've been broiled...so I'm working on that one!
    2. Exercising on days that I'm not dancing for 3 hours. It usually makes me feel a little guilty...
    3. Get a good nights sleep...especially during the school year when I'm mad busy...when I lose sleep, I don't have energy and I end up being stressed out about everything!

    1. I need to log the 3 strawberries I steal every morning.
    2. I need to wear a nose plug when I run as apparently those fragrant flowers are not mine to smell.
    3. I need to print something clever on my undies so the people behind me can be entertained when my pants fall off.

    ...or maybe sudoku.

    1. Stop procrastinating exercise.

    2. Plan meals better so that I (a) am not scrambling at the last minute to throw something together which usually turns out to be not a good meal and (b) don't end up eating/ordering out.

    #1 STOP counting calories just until lunch time. I get home, have a drink or two, and snack.
    #2 in line with 1, stop saying "I'll start tomorrow" every night.
    #3 commit to my runs. I get excited planning them, but don't always go through with them
