After completing my session 2, I noticed that now I’m at the action level for healthy eating, exercise and on maintenance level for stress management. I feel proud that It has changed my eating habits for good. While going through the question I realized how important healthy died can be and also made it easy for me by recommending what I should be eating and also the amount. For exercise, I was at the precontemplation level in the beginning and now I’m on the action level because I made promise to myself to work out at least 5 times a week. I even kept my exercise equipment right next to where I spend most of the day when I’m home which is right next to my computer and I make sure to take break once in a while and do little exercise so that way I don’t have to take extra time out for my exercise. Although I’m not very consistent and my exercise time changes day to day but at least it’s better then not doing at all. For stress management I was on maintenance in the beginning of starting the live well program and I’m still on the same level, I really like the story of other students who talk about how they dealt with stress and what they did, this also helped me a lot.

The second session revisited some of these same questions that the previous one asked about. This has helped to establish and track the progress in the areas that needed to become better, or to continue maintain the good work from before the first stage. I have had my activities side of things on a maintenance stage, as I have been working out for extensive periods of time systematically. However my nutrition intake results showed that I need to eat more fruits and vegetables per day. So I did. I tried to include this type of food in every meal I have and keep at least recommended 4 cups per day. Another suggestion was for me to find someone, who would track my achievements, and have someone to, basically, report to. However I disagree, as I would not trust my motivation and will to lead and maintain healthy living to other people.
