Workbook pages 25-27
Guideline 1: All teens should be physically active each day. This can include participating in games, work or recreation.
How I'm Doing: Rate yourself on your daily physical activity.
Good: I do some things each day that count as physical activity.
One way I can improve in this area: I find ways to do more physical activity, like yard work, taking a walk after dinner, with my dog, and instead of sitting a lot a home, sometimes watching TV, I could go for a walk or bike to the store for some apples or something like that.
Guideline 2: Teens should exercise moderately to vigorously for at least 20 minutes 3 or more times a week.
How I'm Doing: Rate yourself on your exercise level.
Excellent: I engage in moderate to vigorous exercise for at least 20 minutes more than three times per week.
One way I can improve in this area: I can increase my amount of physical exercise and the amount of time I do it in. I could set some goals to reach so I can push myself.
Page 26
1.) What is your healthy eating or exercise goal?
My healthy eating goal is to be able to cut back on high sodium, high fat, and high sugar foods and to be able to also lessen my cheese intake. My exercise goal is to be able to be a size 14 by New Year's Eve.
2.) What be the benefit of reaching your goal?
The benefit of reaching my goal is that my risk for diabetes will be lowered and I will be a healthier weight.
3.) Why is this goal important to you?
It's important to me because I really want to be a healthier weight so I can not be embarrassed in public society, I wont have the threat of diabetes hanging on my shoulders, and I will be able to show others that God can help you, He's always there for you, and that He takes a lot of burdens off your shoulder.
4.) What must you do to reach this goal?
I must exercise around 4 hours a week, cut back on fatty and sugary foods, and add more healthier foods to my diet.
5.) How will you start?
I will start by going to the YMCA for 4 hours a week, carefully watch the foods I eat, and ask God to give me guidance and the strength to overcome temptation.
6.) Who can help you?
My parents can help me, my teachers can help me, my friends can help me and most importantly God can help me.
7.) What could get in the way of reaching your goal?
Barrier How I could overcome it
Stress Ask God to help me be more cheerful and at peace about my day.
Lack of sleep Eat foods that can help me stay awake but aren't high in fat or sugar
Temptation to eat more Ask God to give me strength and to think before I act.
This is the end of the workbook pages. See ya!

Fitday mid-term assignment
This day looked fine for the first day. I had a total of 1511 calories and of those calories 35% came from fat, 49% from carbs and 17% from protein. I also went to the YMCA and so I burned some calories there. I think this day could have been better because I should have cut back on the foods that contain a lot of fat and eaten more foods with carbs.
October 2, 2007
It seems that I ate a lot this day. I had a total of 3413 calories with 38% coming from fat, 44% from carbs and 18% from protein. I also went to the YMCA so that did help but I should have cut back on the fats and eaten more carbs. I need to work on that.
October 3, 2007
I don’t think I wanted to eat this day. I had a total of 1000 calories for intake. Of those 1000 calories 54% came from fat, which is way too much, 32% came from carbs and 15% from protein. I really need to cut back on fatty foods and add more carbs to my diet. It’s starting to look like a reoccurring problem.
October 4, 2007
This day was so-so. I had a total calorie intake of 1500 calories. Of those calories 43% came from fat, 42% from carbs and 15% from protein. I added a little more carbs to my diet but I still ate too much fatty foods. I really need to work on that. So I could have eaten more bread, or maybe a pasta salad, and I would have been better. I think it was the cheesy potatoes that I ate at lunch that added a lot of fat to what I ate. Next time I’ll just have potatoes without the cheese.
October 5, 2007
This day looked a little better. My total calorie intake was 2189 calories. Of those calories 37% came from fat, 45% from carbs and 17% from protein. I still need to cut back on the fatty foods and eat more carbs. Maybe I should have eaten so many chicken nuggets. I’ll work on that.
October 6, 2007
The day before looked a lot better than this day. My calorie intake was 1415 calories. The chart says that 41% was from fat, 43% from carbs and 16% from protein. I really need to work on this: cut back on the fat and add more carbs.
October 7, 2007
This day looked a lot better. I had 1684 calories for my intake. The chart says that 38% of the calories came from fat, 51% from carbs and 11% from protein. Even though the protein is very low I actually hit the target for fat and carb percentage. Maybe I’ll have a waffle and cereal every morning but add more foods with protein.
October 8, 2007
I don’t quite know what to think for this day. I had a calorie intake of 1710 calories. Of those calories 41% came from fat, 45% from carbs and 15% from protein. I think I need to work on this. I may be breaking the habit for one day but that’s not enough to make it a lifestyle change. I should not have had so much salad because according to the chart that’s the food that had the most fat in it. Actually, I wont have dressing on the salad next time I eat it, or else maybe a low fat dressing.
October 9, 2007
This day looked OK. I had a total calorie intake of 1393 calories. The chart says that 34% came from fat, 49% from carbs and 17% from protein. Actually it looks better than I thought. I still should cut back on the fats and add more carbs but this actually is close. It was the chicken sandwich that added so much fat to my diet. Maybe I’ll have a smaller sandwich next time.
October 10, 2007
This day looks horrible. I had a calorie intake of 1422 calories. But, 58% was from fat, 29% from carbs and 14% from protein. This is horrible. I shouldn’t have over half of my diet from fat and have no carbs and really no protein. It looks like I had two salads that day and both had dressing. I should just not have the dressing. Maybe next time I’ll add a bunch of croutons to my salad instead of dressing.
October 11, 2007
I must not have wanted to eat this day because my calorie intake is low. I had an intake of 951 calories. Of those calories 30% was from fat, 50% from carbs and 20% from protein. Actually this day looks really good, but I should maybe eat more than I did because I should not be going on 951 calories for one day it’s just too low.
October 12, 2007
This day was OK. I had a calorie intake of 1065 calories. Of those calories 46% came from fat, 36% from carbs and 19% from protein. What I don’t understand is that the food that contained the most fat was my taco salad and I didn’t have dressing with it. Maybe it was the cheese and sour cream that I added to my salad. Next time I’ll just cut back on the cheese and add no sour cream.
October 13, 2007
I don’t know what to think of this day. I had a total calorie intake of 1549 calories. The chart says that 43% came from fat, 42% from carbs and 15% from protein. I really need to stop adding dressing to my salad. It seems that the days that I had too much fat in my diet were the days that I had a salad with dressing. So no more dressing, or at least have low fat dressings.
October 14, 2007
This day was horrible. I had a calorie intake of 1552 calories. Of those calories 50% was from fat, 37% from carbs and 13% from protein. Again it’s the salad with dressing and it’s also the macaroni and cheese that I had for lunch. I’m not going to have that again. It looks like it’s both salads with dressing and cheese that add too much fat to my diet.
October 15, 2007
This day was better than the day before. I had a calorie intake of 2225 calories. Of those calories 39% came from fat, 43% from carbs and 17% from protein. It looks a lot better but I could still lighten up on the fat and add more carbs to my diet. It looks like it’s the chicken nuggets that added too much fat to my diet. So, it looks like I need to eat salads with no dressing or low fat dressing, eat no cheese and watch the ever-fattening chicken meat.
I think I’ve learned some things through this. I actually enjoyed doing it and seeing what foods I need to lessen up on and what I need to add to my diet. So I’ve learned something and now I’m going to apply it to my life. See ya!

Workbook pages 8 - 15 continued
granola bar - It's healthy because it contains grains and fruit - these can be added to the needed amount of servings. It also is not very sugary and has hardly any salt.
apples - These contain a good source of fiber, Vitamin C and a bunch of other antioxidants that are good for your body. It contains no salt, unless added to it. Eating an apple is also a good way of covering your 3-5 servings of fruits a day.
carrots - These are very healthy for you too. They contain B-carotene which your body turns into vitamin A, dietary fiber, antioxidants and minerals that are healthy for you. But watch out for eating too many because your skin could turn orange.

The snack that I like the best is the apple.
