Exercise vs Dieting
My objectives for taking this jazz class are to be able to be more flexible, and to be able to live a healthier life style by exercising regularly and changing my eating habits. I choose these 3 objectives because these are all able to be maintained once this class is over. Through the course of this class I plan to work on all 3 objectives habitually. I plan to set aside time in my schedule at least 4 times a week to dedicate to my objectives. I desire to have exercising a lifestyle instead of a chore and I realize the only way to achieve this is through habit. I plan to explore different kinds of exercising yoga, weigh training, dance warm ups, dance routines, running, walking, etc., my goal is to try all these things until I find out what works best for me. Just as learning styles there are fitness styles as well and everybody bodies adapt differently to certain thing and I hope to find out what my body accepts the most. With that I plan to change my eating habits, I have already accessed the problem which is I don’t eat regularly I eat like once a day and it usually a bag of chips and a bottle of fruit juice. I realize that by doing this I am depriving my body of nutrients that it needs for its everyday function of life. My body needs the protein, calcium, vitamin d, etc and I am not giving it to them and when I do it is diluted with unhealthy sugars and carbs. By the end of the semester with the lifestyle changes of course I want to at least lose 10 lbs. My last go is become flexible, it’s not as necessary I don’t need it to have a better life by it would be nice to be flexible as I once was if I want to get serious about dancing

    Throughout the course of the last nine weeks, my eyes have been opened to an entirely new world full of nutritional and exercising information. It is rough being a thirty-three year old husband and father, with an eye on trying to remain on this planet for as long as humanly possible. As parents, we all have goals we want to achieve. The usual suspects include seeing your children graduate high school and then college, walking your daughter down the aisle of her wedding, and being able to retire and continue to live a healthy and happy life. What I have come to realize through this nutritional and exercising information is that in order to accomplish this goal, there are certain aspects of my life that I need to change. I am not a particularly healthy eater. I do not exercise regularly. I mostly do what I can with the time I have available. I suspect this problem plagues many men across this country and around the world. In my state, the obesity rate is close to 30% and it continues to trend upward (Centers for Disease Control, 2011). Without a drastic change in lifestyle, I am simply adding to the statistics. The knowledge I have gained in this course has led me to believe that this is simply unacceptable. Something has to change, and I have a plan to make that happen.…

I researched my eating habits at the USDA Food Pyramid Guide and was provided with recommendations on what and how much I should be eating. This information combined with recommended exercises and information I learned in this class has resulted in my creating a lifetime personalized nutrition, diet, and exercise plan.…

    During the 5 day span I met the calorie requirement of 2850 in daily food intake due to my high activity level. I pretty much had a balanced diet in terms of having each food group represented in my daily intake. I plan on to keeping my muscle mass, so I pretty much had a diet plan before. But going through the calorie tracker in the website made me realize that I was eating too much junk food than intended. It really didn’t have any adverse on my physique due to my early mentioned level of activity but by cutting down on my junk food intake for the week I was recording this log I was able to enjoy good wholesome food, without spending a lot of money in college cafeteria. Not only was I able to do this I was able to feel…

    As humans, losing weight and weight loss is a struggle many of us have encountered in life. We strive to achieve the body we have perceived as perfect and often times, including myself, have failed numerously at this goal. I have been there and done that, from Weight Watchers meals, to earnestly trying and going to the gym nearly every day, and even just skipping certain meals. To a certain extent all of these routines have worked for me, but not enough to keep going as I have stopped doing a lot of these activities; due to not keeping up with myself and every day eventually became a cheat day, where I would indulge in foods I know I shouldn’t have and not workout. As individuals, certain tasks and goals can become overbearing and can seem impossible to accomplish, but as a…

    Throughout my journey through this class I have been able to think of many goals to set for myself to allow me to be healthier. First, I will start with my nutritional goals. The first nutritional goal I will talk about is my daily caloric intake. From now on, I plan to limit my daily calories to 1200 making sure I do not fall below the 1200 count. I realize how important it is to consume at least 1200 calories a day; falling below the 1200 calorie count can lead to…

    When I first started this class I was very unhealthy and my eating habits were off time schedule. I never monitored what I ate nor cared. Since weeks past stress was taking a toll and I was eating less, but still unhealthy. I was beginning to notice that I was not doing the right thing and eating the right way. Towards the last few weeks, I decided to take action in the way I eat and began monitoring my foods and paying attention to the food labels and keeping track of the calories I was putting into my body.…

    I exercise on a regular basis and I try to watch the foods I eat. One only key changes I have made to meet the recommendations from the tracker is to take vitamin supplements. I have started doing this to make sure that my body is receiving all of the vitamins it needs on a daily basis. Even though I already have a pretty good nutrition and exercise plan, there are a few goals I have to assist me in optimizing my good health. One nutritional goal is to increase my water intake. I typically drink water while at work but I often drink soda while at home. In order to reach this goal I will have to stop purchasing soda at the grocery store and replace it with low calorie, low sugar drinks. By not having soda conveniently in my home, I will be more likely to drink healthier options such as water. My second nutritional goal is to track the foods I eat. Tracking the food I consume will help to make sure that I am getting the proper amount of fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy. To meet this goal I will begin to write down everything I eat throughout the day. I have some physical exercise goals as well. One physical exercise goal is to become more active on a regular basis. I currently workout three days a week and I would like to increase that to at least five days a week. Another physical exercise goal I have for myself is to increase…

    I have chosen four goals that will be applied to my life on a Daily/Weekly basis. It was important to me to know what my body needs and is capable of before setting actual goals. My diet is pretty healthy as of now due to the tips I have been given by my doctor. Fruits and vegetables are constantly in my diet as well as milk, cheese, breads and proteins. My weight as of today is 162 lbs. My weight before I got pregnant was 136 lbs. I have been advised that cardio is my best source of exercise while being pregnant but that I can implement any exercise I wish starting 6 weeks after my delivery. Knowing that the foods I intake are already in league with any health plan I choose is good to know. I eat three to four servings of each food group daily with the exception of bread and grains which I eat about 1-2 servings because breads contain high amounts of carb’s which my body does not utilize as well as I would like. I find that my weaknesses are not found so much in my eating habits but in my will power to exercise and that my body does not receive near the amount of liquids it needs. I eat enough healthy foods but I should cut back on foods with high amounts of sugars, caffeine and carb’s in general not because I eat to much of them or for my weight it is just a personal need due to the fact that these foods are not healthy…

    3) In order to improve my diet and nutritional intake I need to have more wholesome meals. I can add in a side of vegetables on a more regular basis with my meals, and maybe throw in some fruit with a bagel in the morning. I am not trying to lose weight or maintain, but I would wish to gain muscle mass. This would most likely be easier if I upped my intake of my Carbohydrates and I could probably be higher in my Protein intake also. For months at a time I would take multivitamins, but since this semester has…

    The health/nutrition problem that I will be targeting will be my weight. The other problems will be affected by the weight which would be blood pressure, risk of getting diabetes, low energy, depression, etc. Four nutritional or physical exercise goals that I have are to lose at least 100 pounds, lower blood pressure, increase energy and confidence and lower risk of obtaining any other health problems such as diabetes. The actions that will be taken to meet each goal are to obtain a membership to an exercise facility, obtain a membership with a trainer, and work with trainer on an exercise plan and a nutritional plan as well. The anticipated setbacks or difficulties and approaches for overcoming them are the temptations to eating unhealthy foods in which I will remove myself from the situation so those temptations will not be available, loss of interest when it comes to actually going to working out either alone or with trainer in which I will change plan slightly to keep motivated enough to keep going. What I see as outcomes by which to measure success is the way that clothes are fitting will help determine the success of weight loss and weigh-in once a week to determine weight loss success. Evidence of the Plan’s effectiveness in addressing the identified problem or need will be the main piece of evidence in which will be my overall personal feelings and looks after goal is reached. Evaluation of potential health risks that may develop if the plan is not implemented is if I don’t follow through with this goal of losing the weight needed in order to improve my health then the risks involved could be higher blood pressure, end up diabetes, possible heart attack, depression worsens, etc. There are many different ways that my plan may be adjusted if there is a time when I am not physically capable of following through. I could step down the cardio workouts that I am currently on now. At this time I do between 30 to 45 minutes cardio Monday through Friday in the early…

    At a young age, I had always had an aggressive appetite, never caring about what I put into my body because I was young, and it was of no concern to me. Over the last 5 years, I have been more aware of my eating habits, but still not making a conscious effort to change what my body intakes. Throughout, My Diet Analysis research, I was able to identify eating habits that I was unaware of specifically during the weekdays. I decided to record two of my busiest days during the week, Monday and Tuesday and one lacks day, being Sunday. My findings were somewhat surprising, showing me on paper just exactly how unhealthy my eating habits are. My diet analysis gave me just the motivation I needed to fully make a change within my everyday diet. Overall, it is very clear that I need to make some changes within my diet on a daily basis in order become fit and healthy.…

    My self-care activity I choose was giving up pop and juice. I pledged to drink only water for two weeks straight. I even added creating a workout schedule for myself to follow. I choose this practice because, I am a very heavy juice and pop drinker, but I know that living that lifestyle can have some severe damages on my body. I wanted to give up pop and juice to see how much weight I could lose. Because I know most pops and juices are high in sugars and calories. I thought that if I could give up these two things I would be able to shed some weight. The reason I added creating a work-out routine is because I know that just drinking water with every meal was not going to change my body drastically. So I figured with a workout schedule and…

    My personal health is not the way it should be right now. When I signed up for this class I was hoping it would help me with my weaknesses. A lot of my friends go and work out mostly everyday and I always tell myself that I am going to but I never do. I have always wanted to make myself get on a routine and workout or eat healthy and lose weight. Keeping up with school, my job, and a sorority is not that easy, the last thing on my mind is being healthy. Sleep overrides everything in my world I love it so much! Even though I say I want to be like someone else this situation is different. I would love to have a routine by the fall, maybe lose 20 pounds, and eat healthier.…
