Workbook pages 25-27

Page 25

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!

Daily Log for 10/31/07

Well, today is Halloween. I'm going to really have to quench the urge to eat more candy then I should. I didn't go to the YMCA this morning because I stayed up until like 11:30 last night so I could finish my History and Language papers that are due today. So, I didn't go this morning and I've got such a tight schedule after school that I wont be able to go then either. But I will be walking a lot tonight so I could count that as some exercise today. Anyways, I will not be here on Monday because I'm doing Bethel College's overnight from Sunday to Monday. So see ya then!

Fitness Log for 10/30/07

I had planned on going to the YMCA for an hour after school but I got out of school and I was so tired that I just wanted to go home and finish my two papers that are due today. So I did not go to the YMCA. See ya!

Daily Log for 10/30/07

Today is my grandmother's 73rd birthday. She's a young grandma and an even younger great-grandma. But sadly, she has Parkinson's Disease and it's really tough for her. I'm wondering if not taking good enough care of herself when she was younger may have helped trigger Parkinson's Disease. Anyways, I did not get up early to go to the YMCA because I stayed up too late last night trying to finish my History and Language papers that are both due tomorrow. I feel really pressured for time and I'm not quite sure what to do. So, I'll just go home, maybe I'll go to the YMCA after school but I'm not sure. But I'll go home, eat an apple, and finish my papers. So, see ya!

Fitness Log for 10/29/07

I did not get up early to go to the YMCA but I did go for an hour after school. I think it really helped to go after school because I have a huge History paper to write and the exercise seemed to help me write my paper. I still have a lot of my paper to write but I'm sure I'll get it done. See ya!

Daily Log for 10/29/07

This morning I did not get up to go to the YMCA because I stayed up later than I wanted to last night trying to get my History paper done. I do plan to go for an hour after school because I do need the oxygen in my brain to finish my History paper and then get my Language paper done as well. I've got a lot of homework to get done and not a lot of time to do it. I will not be here on Monday because I get to go to Bethel for their college visit weekend and I get to stay overnight and go to Vespers (sp?) I'm really excited for it. So, I guess that' s all, see ya!

Fitness Log for 10/25 - 10/28

On Thursday I didn't go to the YMCA because I was really tired and I knew I would be up late with the Powder Puff football game and then the Volleyball sections game.

I was too tired this morning so we didn't go to the YMCA. I finished working on my fitday plan and I've published it. I hope you like it. I learned a lot with this fitday plan and I think I'm going to keep doing it. So, I guess that's all, see ya!

Fitness Log for 10/24/07

I woke up early and went to the YMCA for an hour before school. It felt good and that was all the exercise that I did. See ya!

Fitday mid-term assignment

October 1, 2007

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!

Daily Log for 10/24/07

This morning I went to the YMCA before school for an hour. It seemed like the time went very fast and before I knew it I had to leave. I don't think I'll be going after school today just because it's Wednesday and I need to get all my homework done before I leave for Youth Group. So, I guess that's all, see ya!

Fitness Log for 10/23/07

I went to the YMCA in the morning for 30 minutes and I was planning to go after school but I was very tired from my day at school. I'm actually glad I didn't go because I also had a lot of homework to get done. So, that's all, see ya!

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.

Daily Log for 10/23/07

This morning I woke up early and went to the YMCA for half an hour before school. I plan on doing another half hour after school today. It felt really good to go after school yesterday. It actually made it more enjoyable to do homework because I had oxygen going to my brain and exercising helped me wake up more. So, I guess that's all, see ya!

Fitness Log for 10/22/07

I didn't go to the YMCA before school because my parents thought I needed to sleep in more. So my mom and I went after school to the YMCA. I enjoyed it. But that was all that we did. It was yesterday that it hit me, fully, that Volleyball is over and I no longer have Volleyball practice or games. I was really sad but I have something to look forward to next year, my Senior year. See ya!

Daily Log for 10/22/07

This morning I did not get up early to go to the YMCA because I was too tired from my weekend of babysitting and a sleep-over. I plan to go after school though. I am really tired and I thought I would get a lot of sleep but all in one day my weekend got full. I had known about the sleep-over for a week and the babysitting all day on Saturday but Friday I got a call to babysit that evening for a lady from church and then my neighbor asked me to watch her daughter, Teagan, at 6 until around 11 (it ended up being after midnight). So, my weekend was exhausting and I really hope this school week is not all that tiring because I don't know if I could handle a long week. Anyways, so I guess that's all, see ya!

Fitness Log for 10/16 - 10/21

Tuesday and Wednesday I didn't go to the YMCA because I was studying for PSAT. Tuesday I did go on a field trip and my group did the climbing wall. Thursday I went to the YMCA for an hour. Then Friday I also went to the YMCA for an hour but I also babysat for 5:30 for two little kids who are very energetic. Then Saturday I went to the YMCA for an hour and then babysat for 6:30 for a friend from church. She has the most energetic two year old and four year old I have ever met. I ran after them for almost the entire time. Then after that I had to rush home to babysit for my neighbor and her little 5 month old. I actually got a lot of exercise watching her because she would not fall asleep and cried for 4 hours and I had to rock her and bounce her and do whatever I could to get her to fall asleep. Then she woke up after sleeping for an hour and a half and I had to do it all over again. I was exhausted. Then Sunday I was in the nursery during church and I chased after 7 little kids for a while and then sat them down in front of a Veggie Tales movie. I went home and took a nap after church. So, see ya!

Daily Log for 10/15/07

This morning I woke up early and went to the YMCA. I was actually excited to go. Lately I've been dreading getting up and going but today I woke up and I really wanted to go. I even wanted to go a little bit longer but my dad needed to get home so we didn't' stay longer. I told my mom that I haven't been able to lose weight lately and I didn't know why because I was eating the same amount of food and exercising the same amount as I did when I started and I lost 10 lbs in a 10 days. But then I've stopped losing and I haven't gained and I didn't know why. She told me it was because I was building muscle and that this not losing any weight is going to pass soon once the muscle is built up enough. So, then tonight I have my last Volleyball game. I'm really sad because I really love Volleyball and I will miss it. I'm also going to miss Penny because she's not going to coach us next year. : (. Oh well, I guess that's all. See ya!

Fitness Log for 10/13 - 10/14

On Saturday I went to the YMCA for an hour and thirty minutes. It felt really good to exercise. Sunday I spent the day catching up on homework and my parents decided I shouldn't go to the YMCA.

Daily Log for 10/12/07

This morning I woke up early and went to the YMCA. My time there seemed to go really fast this morning. I really enjoyed it though. Then after school today I have my second to the last Volleyball game. Again, I'm really going to miss playing Volleyball. I really hope I can play next year. My Fit Start program is going good and I am enjoying it. I told my youth pastor about the book that I'm writing and he said that he could help. I do want to do good on the book because then I could possibly get it published. I think it would be really cool to actually publish a book once in your life. So, I'll see ya!

Fitness Log for 10/11/07

I did not get up early to go to the YMCA because my parents were too tired to go. Then after school I had my last Volleyball practice of the season. I'm really going to miss Volleyball when it's over. I'm pretty sure that I'll be playing next year but I'm not 100% certain. Well, that's all, see ya!

Thursday, October 11, 2007

Daily Log for 10/11/07

I was not able to get up early to go to the YMCA because my parents felt like it would be too much. I did want to go but not without them. After school today I have my last Volleyball practice : (. I'm really going to miss Volleyball after our last game on Monday. I really hope we win our last two games because we haven't been playing all that well this season, I think it could have been better. This season has gone by so fast, it feels like it just started. My mom and I are planning to go to the YMCA before and after school so I can be getting almost the same amount of exercise as I get now. I'm even planning on going to the YMCA after this semester ends. Well, that's all, see ya!

Fitness Log for 10/10/07

I got up early and went to the YMCA before school. Then after school I had Volleyball practice. So that's all, see ya!

Daily Log for 10/10/07

I woke up early and went to the YMCA with my parents. I really enjoyed my time today. I was surprised that I didn't feel all that tired because I went to bed late last night, I went to the Varsity game to support them. So, then after school I have Volleyball practice and then I have Youth Group. My youth pastor hasn't been at youth group for the past two weeks because his daughter had spinal surgery on the 26th of September and she is still in the hospital. She's improved so much from before the surgery! His daughter had some complications at birth and she ended up with brain damage so she couldn't walk for a while. She used to use a walker to help her walk but because she can only walk on her toes the doctors said that if she didn't have this surgery she wouldn't be able to walk in a year. I'm so proud of her for sticking with this even though it was so painful. I hope to go see her this Saturday. We are praying that she will be able to run. Well, see ya!

Fitness Log for 10/9/07

I did get up early to go to the YMCA because my parents and I were so tired. But I did have a game after school. We won by the way. I also went outside for a ten minute walk, in the cold and wind, with Amy Strickland. So that's all, see ya!

Tuesday, October 9, 2007

Daily Log for 10/9/07

I did not wake up early this morning to go to the YMCA because I was too tired and I went to bed later than I had wanted. I really need to find a way to work out going to bed around 8 so I can get enough sleep but the problem is I have Volleyball after school every day and I don't get home until around 5:30. Then I don't eat until almost 7 because my dad doesn't get home until then and then I have other homework to do after that or I take a shower. But I really need to find a better schedule. Anyways, after school today I have another Volleyball game and it's going to be awesome. We are going to cream them. It's also Parents' Night and I really want to win the game because of it. Well, I guess that's all, see ya!

Fitness Log for 10/8/07

I woke up early and went to the YMCA for 40 minutes. I had to get home early enough to get ready for picture retakes. Then after school I had a Volleyball game at St. Agnes. We lost miserably. So that was all, see ya!

Monday, October 8, 2007

Daily Log for 10/8/07

I woke up early and went to the YMCA for 40 minutes. It was shorter this time because I had picture retakes and I needed time to get ready for them. It felt really good to go though. Then after school today I have an away game. I'm excited for it. I can't believe that we only have three scheduled games after the game tonight. So, I guess that's all, see ya!

Fitness Log for 10/5 - 10/7

On Friday I didn't go to the YMCA. But I did go to practice for 2 hours. I had a lot of fun in practice. Then Saturday I babysat these two little kids so I was running around with them for a little bit. Then later that afternoon I went to the YMCA for 1:30. I enjoyed it. Sunday I went to Cheap Skate for Christian music night - they play Christian music the first Sunday of every month. I skated there for 3 hours. I had so much fun. I can't wait until next month to have even more fun. So, that was my weekend. I had a nice, long and relaxing weekend. See ya!

Daily Log for 10/4/07

This morning I woke up at 5:10 and went to the YMCA. I was there for an hour and I really enjoyed it. I actually woke up dreading going and I felt so tired but I pushed myself to go and I decided that I would have a right attitude about going. Well, it all worked out. Actually, after I started exercising I stopped feeling tired, I actually woke up. It was really cool. Then after school today I have Volleyball practice. I should stop eating sweets though. Ever since my mom's birthday I have fallen into my old habit of eating too many sweets. But I'm going to break it because I really want to lose weight and stop eating sweets all the time. Something sweet every now and then is fine but I've completely fallen into eating it everyday. Not good. So I'm going to work on that this weekend. See ya!

Fitness Log for 10/3/07

I was feeling really icky and I was very tired so my mom decided that we would not go to the YMCA before school. Then the JV team had no practice today since all this week we have no games. So I really didn't get any exercise. I did, however, go running around the school building for 10 minutes, not joking, looking for my mom. I was running, or more like jogging but I really wanted to find my mom. I found her out in the car. So my jogging for 10 minutes was all the exercise I got. See ya!

Daily Log for 10/3/07

Well, today is going to be interesting. I did not get up early to go to the YMCA because I am coming down with something and my mom did not think it was safe for me to get up early to go to the YMCA. I did need the sleep though. I also do not have Volleyball practice after school today so I will not be getting as much exercise as I normally do. Maybe I'll take my dog for a walk this afternoon and then maybe I'll do sit-ups or something else to condition my core - I haven't been doing that lately. I will be going to the YMCA tomorrow morning and I hope I'm more rested to do it. So, I guess that's all, see ya!

Fitness Log for 10/2/07

I went to the gym before school for a little over an hour. I was really tired after that but I think it was mostly due to how I got up earlier than usual. Then after school I had Volleyball practice and we ran a lot. I was glad that we actually ran because I needed to. See ya!

Daily Log for 10/2/07

This morning I woke up at 5:10 and went to the YMCA for an hour. I enjoyed my time there. It felt good to get exercise. I'm really liking that fitday thing, it's really nice to see how much protein, fat and carbs I'm getting from my food. I'm realizing that I do need to go to the gym to burn all those carbs that I gained during the day. I never knew it would be that much. All I can say is wow, and I didn't even eat that much stuff. So I really need to put more healthier things in my diet and cut back more on fats, sugars, and oils. It is a great help to see how much I'm getting in my diet. My mom loved the idea of it and she may even start her own fitday plan. Ok, so then this evening after school I have Volleyball practice for two hours and then I go home and do homework. I really hope I can get to bed by 8 PM tonight. It really helps my day when I get more than 8 hours of sleep a night. If I could get nine hours of sleep I'd be doing really good. So, I guess that's all. See ya!

I went to the YMCA for a little over an hour. I was very tired out after it because I woke up feeling a little sick and then I think I pushed myself a little too hard at the gym. So then after school I also had Volleyball practice for two hours and that was fun. We got to practice with some of the Varsity girls because they stayed after school when they didn't have practice. It was so much fun. So I guess that's all, see ya!

This morning my mom and I got up 15 minutes early and went to the YMCA for 1:15. I was really tired and I felt a little more exhausted at the end than I normally do. I started my page on www.fitday.com and it said that in order for me to reach my desired weight in the desired time I need to lose around 2.5 lbs a week. I can make that easy because I'm averaging 4 lbs a week. Maybe not this last week so much but every other week I have. So I can get to 120 lbs in half the time. I'm really excited. So, then after school today I have Volleyball practice. So, I'll see ya!
