My goals for March:
- Walk to and from work, every day (1500 minutes) = TW & FW
- Eat vegetables/fruit every day = V/F
- Run the block/do yoga, total of 3x a week = Y or R
- Sleep for 8 hours at least 3x a week = S

<EDIT> I have had to give up on more than half my goals! I have not been able to get enough sleep, and I have not yet begun running or doing yoga. Terrible, I know! :-\ So much for modest goals! </EDIT>

Those are actually very modest goals; they are only testing my persistance, not my ability. But this is my first challenge, so I am taking it easy.
