May 3, 2011- Culminating Activity- Day #21

Today is the last day of my assignment and the last weigh in to see if I achieved my healthy goal, which was to lose 5 pounds of unwanted weight.  I felt confident stepping on the scale today after that hour cardio yesterday I feel confident.  21 days ago I weighed 205 and today I weight 202 pounds.  So in 21 days I lost 3 pounds of unwanted weight.  Even though my goal was to lose 5 pounds I am still proud of myself because I feel its not what I've accomplished in this 21 days it's what I'm going to carry out after this assignment.  I feel this assignment has gave me the opportunity to turn myself into a more healthier me by not just how I ate but what time I went to sleep at night to get a few more extra.  But on this last day I woke up at 7:00am and made a nice big breakfast.

April 15, 2011

1. A part of my health that I think I got to improve on is my cardio and my diet because when I don't focus much of my work outs on cardio and also watch what I eat.  The way I can set up a calender to help me achieve this is to make 20 minutes of my work outs focused on cardio marking them on the calender to record and see my improvements. Also include to see what I eat and to record if I stay on track to achieve my goals.


2. Some entries that I will include on my calender is the times I went to sleep, what I ate that day, and what work outs I did.  These three things will improve all three of my health triangle.  These entries are designed to imporve my health and will help me achieve my health goals.

3. Yes I will allow space on the weekends as the same as the week days to stay disciplined and achieve my goals with no excuses.

4. Some kind of artwork I am going to use is use different colors for different entries to help me record them.  Example: use the color blue for what time I will be going to sleep, use the color red to show what I ate that day, and the color green to out line my work out for that day.

5. I will keep my calender on the fridge in my house.  This will affect on how the design of my healthy diet will be so that I can look at the calender before I open my fridge to eat something, so I don't cheat the diet.

1. If you are only doing bicep curls in your workout you are only benefiting your arms in that workout. Another way to benefit  your health would be a 20 minute warm up jog.  This would get the blood flowing through the muscles before lifting weight and would not only work on arms but also legs and cardio.

2.  If you start using the treadmill for your workout you are targeting your legs and mainly cardio.   Another workout you could do to target other areas of your health would be  to use the stair clumber.  This would mainly target your legs and plus build up stamina and cardio.
