Week #1

Basketball wasn’t the first sport that I played and I was always terrible at doing shots. However, I love watching others play, getting all rilled up if your team is winning. There was just always something that made it so much fun and interesting to watch. Furthermore, I love photography and this picture just portrays basketball and photography at the same time.

Week #3 Questions

On a scale of 1-10, what effort did you give the workout this week?

• I’d give myself an 7.5 since there were moments where I stopped and continued, which is, in a way, cheating. I somehow was capable of finishing and am satisfied that I was able to continue even feeling this way.

List three specific examples of what would motivate you to participate in and stick to a regular exercise routine:

• I would be more motivated if I had someone else with me working out.
• If I knew exactly what exercise to do.
• Visualization of the outcome.

List three specific barriers or excuses which would prevent you from doing so:

• Laziness and procrastination.
• The excuse of being tired or having no time.
• Having not enough motivation.

What type of workouts and physical activities do you like?

• I enjoy playing basketball or volleyball with friends. Also, in summer I enjoy going out running, but stop when it either gets cold or rains.

Do you prefer going to the studio/gym or working out at home?

• I mostly prefer to work out at home since I get self-conscious when I do go to a gym or studio. However, I do enjoy doing other stuff but as a group when in gym.

What could you see yourself doing as exercise for the remainder of your life?

• I could see myself doing some yoga or running that I could implement in my daily life.

How was your nutrition over the course of this week?

• I drank more water and ate few fruits. I got back drinking coffee, which I know isn’t good.

What would you like to change in your nutrition for the next following week?

• Avoid coffee and drink tea instead.

Week #4

How does your exercise program fit into your weekly schedule?

• My school and work program are fix and doesn’t change until end of semester. This allows me to place what day and time I do have a free time.

Comment on how easy or hard it is to find time to exercise.

• Although I am in charge of my schedule, there are times where I have some plans with either friends or family. Those weeks are when I have to really follow my schedule to be able to work out.

What are your stress levels before and after exercise?

• Working out was always something that help my stress. After a good workout, I am capable of returning on working on either my projects or essays. I can see that I am more relaxed after working out.

What was your nutritional habit change that you chose last week to do for this week?

• I chose to avoid caffeine. I am not an addict, yet when things gets stressful I tend to drink a lot of coffee to deal with it.

Did you follow it consistently?

• Yes I did, switched from coffee to tea.

What will be your next nutritional goal for the following two weeks?

• My next nutritional goal would be to avoid eating sweets. I have a sweet tooth, therefore it’s gonna be hard but I have to at least try and lower the amount I eat.

Week #5

How many servings of vegetables should you eat each day?

• I’d say at least 2-3 servings of vegetables

Are you getting enough vegetables?

• Personally, I am not getting enough vegetables. I tend to avoid them, but sometimes when it has good dressings, I eat a lot.

If not, how could you ensure that you do?

• To ensure that I eat more, I could cook some as a side with the food that I normally eat. Appetizing food that is.

What are your three favourite vegetables?

• My favourite vegetables are lady fingers, bok choy and broccolis.

Find a recipe that includes your favourite vegetables and post it in your blog.

Week #6

What have been some major barriers so far in your activity plan?

• The lack of motivation has me stumped and sometimes I become not in the mood to work out.

How have you adapted your plan to overcome these barriers?

• I started working out with my sister. It just makes it bearable. She’s often just following along me, so I keep in track of the exercise more.

What solutions have you found?

• Like I said in the question above, I got more motivated and is keeping track of the work out when i’m with my sister or someone else in that matter.

Have you noticed any energy level changes now that you exercise every week for the past 6 weeks?

• I noticed that I am not that exhausted when I finish working out. Some of the exercise also becomes bearable unlike when I first started.

Have you started working out more than once a week? If so, when and what?

• I use to only do twice a week since I didn’t have much time, but now i’m trying to do 3 times per week. I often do on Wednesday or Thursday, i’ll be adding a weekend for this upcoming week.
