As I complete the third and last session on Live Well. I’m currently in the ‘contemplation’ stage. Since the previous session I’ve incorporated more greens and fruits into my diet and I feel more energetic as a result. I’ve reduced caffeine intake and started taking a multivitamin for days I feel I do not have adequate nutrients in my food. Finals week is coming up and the juggling school and work has been hectic for me. I’ve been taking 30 minute breathers to reduce stress. After the semester is over I intend to look into fitness trackers so that I can start logging my steps and be more proactive about my health.

As I went through my second session, the LiveWell website shows that I am in the ‘contemplation’ stage. I have slowly altered my diet for more fruits and vegetables and less junk food. I did start to drink water and juice over coffee and soda. Overall, I feel more energetic than a month or two ago. I feel that by the time I take my next session, I would start to focus on making time to exercise, even if it is just for 30 minutes. I do realize the importance of exercise even before I have taken these self-assessment sessions, that it would improve my mind and my body, especially with my hectic work and school schedule.

I enjoyed going through the first session. According to the session, I’m in the ‘contemplation’ stage. I’ve always wanted to get back into shape and I miss playing sports. I will attempt to, within the next 6 months, slowly altering my diet by introducing more fruits and vegetables and reduce caffeine intake. Drinking the necessary amount of water needed each day is what I need to work on as well. In addition, waking up a little earlier so that I can exercise for 30 minutes before going on about my day. By going through this assignment, I figure it is better to slowly introduce more healthy decisions than to completely change my lifestyle. By being healthy, I can avoid frequent appointments with the doctor and have more energy to do things. I’d feel more confident, and my mental health would improve as well.
