The Challenge: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on your part).

Why 1001 Days? Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple challenges such as New Year's resolutions or a 'Bucket List'. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips, study semesters, or outdoor activities.

#72: Follow the food guide pyramid for one week

I went to My Pyramid and was able to create a personalized pyramid based on my height, weight, activity, and breastfeeding status.

Basically, my plan works out to this:

Approx. 2400 calories a day.
8 oz grains
3 cups veggies
2 cups fruit
3 cups dairy
6.5 oz meat/beans

I'm sad to say that I come no where near this...ever. OK, this was the first step. The next step is meal planning based on this info, and then following through with it.
