Incorporating 4 cups of vegetables into my diet has not been easy. I am definitely trying my best and will continue doing so. In relation to exercising and managing stress, I am hoping to be at the maintenance stage by the end of the semester. Good luck to everyone!

I realized that from the first session I feel behind I did not meet my goals that I set up for myself. I started off good eating and exercising more and I even went on a diet and reached a weight that I was somewhat comfortable with, but I haven’t been maintaining my regular exercise and nutrition after that. I am beginning to do so now and that is because I noticed that I work better when the weather is nice out, because it motivates me. I enjoy running in the park apart from not having any time for myself I rather be running in a park than going to a gym. I noticed that in this session I am doing very well in the stress management side all I have to work on is the nutrition and exercise portion.

I can honestly say this session has been much easier than I thought it would be. In the last month I’ve eaten out a lot less and have been cooking my own meals more. I can say honestly I’ve noticed a change in myself. I feel less sluggish and actually know what I’m eating since I’m cooking the meals myself. Additionally I’m making the conscious effort to incorporate more vegetables and fruits into my diet. One month down a lifetime to go 🙂

I did the nutrition session and not meeting the standards of how much calories I have to consumed per day, my diet is very simple and as a Ecuadorian we don’t eat too much vegetables. I tried to incorporated vegetables 2 to 3 times per week so my family and I can start changing the way we eat. I love the fact that this website has different resources that I can use to learn different ways to eat and cook vegetables. I love it, so I’m trying my best. I try to eat fruits almost everyday so in that part I don’t have problems. So far I love the way how live Well push me to change to do better with my life.

I am still trying to reach maintenance level in almost every category. I walk a lot more than before and balance my meal as much as i can. But sometimes when choice is given between 8oz steak and salad, i choice 8oz steak salad and leave vegetable for perpetual tomorrow . on other hand its a lot faster to get some vegetable and fruits as snacks versus 8oz steak.

After completing the 2nd Live Well session, I have noticed that I still do not consume enough greens and fruits on a daily basis. I have tried to help to change that by purchasing more fruits on the weekends and bringing them to work with me to eat as a snack or with my lunch. Also, I have begun to prioritize a bit more with my school assignments and save money in order to help deal with financial and school related stress. So far, it does help to pick apart a large task and complete it in smaller subsections rather than look at it as a whole.

i move from preparation to action. I still exercise regularly and I eat healthier. I have to spend more time weekly to exercise. my biggest challenge is my confidence. I do not keep up with my routine exercise, I still can commit to exercising 3 to 4 times weekly. my ultimate goal is to be fit so, I can improve my health. I am still struggling with my stress issues, now I have tools how to manage my stress. Every time, I am stress about something I am more likely to turn to sweets. I need to take more control over stress.

Shift work meal
Working a 16 hour shift and being ready to respond to any emergency at all times without preset food break can cause havoc to ones diet. Luckily I have adopted and bring protein shakes, yogurt and fruit to every shift. This way I can either chug it down quickly or leave the remainder in the shaker cup in the truck and return to it post call.

In my second session of Livewell, I have come to a decision that it is time for me to eat right and not make excuses anymore because of my busy schedule. It has been hard for me to cook due to my late work hours and school schedule. Now is the moment for me to take charge of my eating habits and I will do this on my trip to Trader Joes. On my trip to Trader Joes I purchased a couple of salads to take with me to work for lunch. Doing this for the last couple of days has eliminated me buying fast food from the local restaurants. I would rather cook but this is more convenient for me right now. I am grateful for the Livewell program because it is starting me on the right path on what I should be eating in order to live a healthy life.

After I completed session two I realized I felt short from the first session. I am a working progress with determination to stay healthy and to open up a little more when there is an issue that is bothering me. As I read in the exercise stress and how it can affect our well being I am more than determine to open up more so that certain issues don’t stress me out. And keeping with maintaining a healthy life style I have decided to jug five days a week.
