Action Plan Summary For module two my action plan to reach my goal of reducing my chance of developing diabetes by reducing the amount of sugar I consumed was to drink nothing but 2 liters of water at least 5 times a week, as well as cutting down on sugary snacks in my diet. For module three, my action plan to reach my goal of gaining 5 pounds in three months was to perform strength training at least 3 days a week doing routines for different muscle groups each day. I have been going through with my plan, but I have only managed to put on 3 pounds of muscle in the last 2 months. Although I am a little behind on my progress towards my goal, I plan to keep going forward and accomplish as much as I can. For module four, my action plan was to track to food I eat every week and to make sure what I am consuming meets the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. My short-term goal was to maintain my healthy eating, and make adjustments to my diet to include important food groups I was under consuming within the next 3 months. I have managed to balance my diet and become more accustomed to eating certain foods I didn’t enjoy in the past. To reduce my stress by being more optimistic about the challenges I encounter in my everyday life. My action was to have a more positive outlook, as well as starting to …show more content…
This is something I had never done in the past, although I have tried to eat healthy. Because of this, while I thought I knew how to eat a healthy diet, I was actually under consuming certain foods, which was leading me to enough of certain vitamins and minerals. By continuing to monitor what I eat on a weekly basis, I feel in the future I will have enough of an understanding of what constitutes a complete, balanced diet, and it will no longer be necessary for me to use any resources to make sure I am eating
In 2009, I had just completed my annual physical for the fire department and was unhealthy. The doctor said I was pre-diabetic, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Coincidently, my wife also received similar news from her doctor during that same time frame. A short time went by and I happened to be working with an old friend, Kevin, at the firehouse. I hadn 't seen Kevin for a few months so I was surprised to see that he had lost weight and was in great shape.
I did meet my set behavior change goal the second week. Honestly, I’m not sure if it was the ice cream reward that kept me motivated, I think it was the support provided by my boyfriend that got me successfully though the second week. If I were to do it differently I would pick a better reward, or make the reward after a shorter period of time. It was hard to keep motivated when the reward seemed to always be multiple days away. I don’t think there were any limitations to the program, I had all the materials and resources that I needed to be able to successfully change my behavior.
Within cycle 4, we have incorporated many topics within our health and physical education classes. To begin with, we learned about healthy food guidelines, being a health-literate consumer, and the benefits of physical activity. Dietary guidelines are a set of recommendations about smart eating and physical activity for all Americans. These guidelines are presented through a pyramid, which is known as “MyPyramid.” MyPyramid is an interactive guide to healthful eating and active living.
This year I signed up to go to Feed My Starving Children thinking i’ll get more volunteer hours for the senior Medallion thingy whatever it was called. When I went to the place for Feed My Starving Children, I also went with most of my AVID class. When we got there and walked into the place we had to put on hair nets that were so irritating and most of the girls laughing and complaining about their hair. We also had to take off all the jewelry which i had on, i laughed and said to myself hecky no, all these earring in my ear were staying on. I’m not about to take them out just to loose them later so i hid my ears under the hair net.
Are you lacking the energy and health you once had? Taking medications on a regular basis? Struggling with a number of health conditions that just keep cropping up? That was me 8 years ago.
How many people have set a New Year’s resolution but still have not completed it or have not even started it? Who knows? They should not feel embarrassed, because I am one of them. The Willpower Instinct by Dr. Kelly McGonigal, an award-winning psychology instructor at Stanford University and health educator for the School of Medicine’s Health Improvement Program, presents reasons behind our actions. The primary focus of the book circles around our willpower: the “I will”, “I want” and “I won’t” power; these powers are controlling our thoughts and actions.
School is planning to change to a new and healthier lunch menu. This may eliminate some lunches that the students actually like. They should not switch to a healthier lunch menu because if the students think the new menu looks nasty they will not eat it and they would not have any food through the day. Mostly every week there are some lunches that students love and can not wait for the day to come so they can have lunch. Changing the lunch menu to a healthier lunch menu is not going to change a students mindset on eating healthier food.
All I ever eat is tuna. If I do not have the scrumptious fish for lunch, I have it for dinner at least four times a week. There is no end to my unhealthy obsession with Katsuwonus pelamis and Thunnus albacares. In fact, there was a small period in my life when I was pescatarian, and the only fish I ate was tuna. I am now back to being a regular omnivore, eating vegetables and meats.
Through this food diary assignment, I have learned that I have a somewhat healthy diet, but it would be good for me to add some more nutritious foods to my diet. Through this analysis, I will discuss the ranges and limits of specific nutrients, and what my average levels were for the two days that I recorded for this assignment. According to my nutrient intake reports, my intake of calories, fiber, and cholesterol were all under or at the target value. The target value of calories is 2000 while my average value was only 1271 calories.
Often in life, we cannot conceive of our future self, until we step into the role. Perhaps it may be different for others but for me, whenever I have tried to envision my future self, the reality has seldom met my expectations. Although, there remains one exception, the subject of eating. With a pile of heaped years belonging to an eating disorder stuck to my resume, I was convinced, whatever happens, whoever I become, nothing would change my connection to food. My relationship to eating would always be tainted, plagued and troublesome.

JK can then gain insight into where his calories and nutrients are coming from so he can alter his diet and make healthier choices (My Fitness Pal, 2017).

This is not one of those ‘snake oil’ diets that will boost your energy, cure your ail- ments, protect you from cancer, keep heart disease at bay, improve your life love and ensure your happiness. The Mindset Diet is targeted directly and exclusively at weight loss. Though, of course, losing weight has health benefits. The diet itself is no more or less healthy than the food you are eating right now, because it is based on the normal, everyday foods you buy and eat.
