Yea, so I'm really inspired by this and I'll see what I'll do.... hmmmmm...

• FOOD: it's all about self-control and eating less and choosing healtier choices
• EXERCISE: at the very least 3/4 times per week!!

I think the food part is still okay. but it's the exercise part that always sucks! it's not that i don't want to, but i'm darn lazy!!! and i'm scared to go alone! >< hais.
