Summarize the following:
Having clearly defined goals will help you follow your progress and reward yourself when you achieve your aims. It's best to start with relatively straight-forward, short-term goals, and then progress onto more ambitious ones. Start with something achievable to give yourself a welcome confidence boost early, but don't be satisfied with that, and keep your eyes on the bigger picture. A short-term goal for someone who hasn't exercised for quite a while could be to walk 10 minutes a day, five days a week. The next goal could be to walk 30 minutes a day, five days a week. A long-term goal could be to complete a 5 kilometers (3.1mi) walk. Research suggests that we are more likely to stick to plans or schedules if we go a step further than just saying to ourselves, "Okay, I'll do that this week." Consider making a more formal pledge to yourself and even putting it on paper and signing it. You can do this with friends and make a pledge to do 30 minutes of exercise, five days a week, for a month. Writing down your goals can help you stay motivated. You can even introduce a cash incentive or penalty. For example, you might sign a deal with a friend that says if you stop exercising you will pay her $50. There are even websites that specialise in enabling you to make contracts online, which can improve your chances of sticking to them. If you are specifically looking to exercise more to help you lose weight, be sure you record your starting point so you can check your progress as you go. You might just want to weigh yourself, or take a photo. You could also perform a fitness test, such as seeing how many crunches or squats you can do in a row. Remember that if you are looking to lose weight, your diet is every bit as important as the amount of exercise you get. Keep a log and make note of new times, distances or weight lifted. Seeing a chart of improvement will hopefully keep you working towards gains. Tick off the days and the workouts with gusto and look back to see how far you've come and how strong you are. If you see you've been exercising regularly for two months, this can help motivate you to keep going. You've come this far, why stop now? You can use all sorts of apps and websites to quickly and easily record your progress. These digital tools often include nice visualisations so you can see your progress more clearly. You can also take regular pictures or do weigh-ins to check the results of your hard work. It's important that you reward yourself and congratulate yourself on sticking to your exercise routine. After each workout you will be feeling tired, but good, so take a few minutes to savour the feeling and be proud of yourself. Consider the endorphins released during the workout and remember this great feeling you now have. By giving yourself this kind of internal reward you are reinforcing your positive connection to exercise. External rewards are good too, so be sure to treat yourself when you reach a major goal. You could reward yourself by buying some new running shoes after completing your first 10k.

summary: Establish your goals. Make a pledge. Record your starting point. Track your progress. Reward yourself.

Choose a cast iron skillet that's large enough to hold 2 slices of bread comfortably, if possible. For large batches of French toast, a large griddle may be a more efficient choice than a skillet. Drop around 1 tablespoon (15mL) of butter on the middle of the pan so that it can spread out evenly as it melts. If you use nonstick cooking spray, coat the bottom of the pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. If you're using a griddle, nonstick cooking spray is usually a better option. Butter will enhance the flavor more than nonstick cooking spray, but the spray can help reduce the fat content of an already heavy dish. Let the skillet or griddle heat up completely. If you're using butter, make sure it melts completely before proceeding. If you are using butter, the pan is hot enough when the butter is melted. If you're using an electric griddle, keep an eye on the temperature setting and proceed once it's fully preheated. Frying at full temperature will burn the bread and cause the inside to stay raw. If medium-low heat seems too low, you can raise it a bit, so long as you don't go over medium heat.

summary: Place a cast-iron pan on the burner, if you are using a stove. Add 1 tablespoon (15mL) butter or spray the pan with nonstick spray. Set the stove to medium high heat or heat your griddle to 350F (177C). Turn the heat down to medium-low once the butter melts.

Coding is intimidating to begin learning but the truth is that there are more free resources than ever to help you get started. First you'll need to consider the type of site you are aiming to build. This will determine the type of coding you have to use; for example, flash visual-heavy sites tend to emphasize JavaScript, whereas a script-based site might utilize HTML. Some common web design languages include HTML and CSS, Java, and Python. HTML and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) tend to go hand-in-hand: HTML is responsible for creating the core structure of any basic webpage, while CSS dictates aspects of the webpage like theme, color, and layout. Both are fairly basic programs, and thus are recommended for beginners. Python and Java are higher-level codes used by advanced programmers to create dynamic sites. Both are well-suited to high-traffic sites such as Amazon or Yahoo Maps. There are a ton of sites that will teach you entry-level coding for free. GitHub, CodeAcademy, Khan Academy, and Code Avengers all offer unique and interactive ways to learn HTML and CSS webpage coding. These resources are all easily accessed, and should be more than sufficient for most webpage coding needs. If you're interested in more advanced coding literature, MIT Open Courseware, edX, and Google University Consortium both offer free courses in Java and Python. Focus on learning your language of choice and make it a priority, but don't expect to learn an entire language overnight--this will take time! While knowing how to code basic webpages and templates is the end goal, keep in mind the fact that webpage coding is a marketable skill; thus, you should absolutely consider branching out into more advanced territory as you learn.
summary: Decide on the type of site you want to make. Choose your language. Begin the learning process. Be patient.
