Based on a recent cholesterol screening, marlon decided that he has to stop eating so much fast food and get more exercise. between work and school, his free time is limited, but he is determined to lower his cholesterol level and improve his overall health. the best way for marlon to stay motivated to improve his diet and work out regularly is to
make weekly resolutions for how many times to work out and chastise himself if he hasn't accomplished his planned goal.
depend on his friends to keep him away from his favorite fast-food restaurants.
set reasonable short- and long-term goals and reward himself for meeting them.
set an ambitious goal and chart daily and weekly progress using online tools.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley; i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten, all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however, many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn; whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today, its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
