Transcript of A healthier me
Vision/TargetOver the years I have
gotten away from the active lifestyle I once enjoyed.
To address that issue, I would like to:Change my eating habits
to cut down on portion sizes and late-night snacks
Lose 20 pounds over the course of 6 months
Increase my physical activity to 4-6 days a week
Changing the HabitLate-night eating and
oversized portions are contributing to my problems
Eating too late/too much causes calories to not be used and convert to fat
I need to make an effort to avoid eating late at night and to cut portions in half at meals
Getting HealthySeveral injuries
resulting from football and weight lifting have limited my activity
Other exercise options exist that will not cause pain in injured areas:Riding a bikeElliptical machineGolf
Checking on My ProgressData collection
methods include:Food journal to keep
track of times and sizes of meals (oz. and calories)
Weigh myself every two weeks to track weight loss/gain
Exercise journal to keep track of distance/calories/heart rate
What I Expect Out of ThisAssuming I follow the
3 keys (exercise, food portions, late-night snacks), I expect to see:Significant weight lossA decrease in blood
pressureMore energyAn overall healthy
lifestyle
Making AdjustmentsIf the results are not what I
am hoping for, I can adjust in the following ways:Change what I am eating
(less meat, more veggies/fruit)
Increase the amount of time spent exercising and decrease time spent lounging around
Go to bed earlier to avoid late-night snacks
Eliminate any non-nutritional beverages
