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.

Healthy Eating has always been a difficult process for me. My schedule is crammed with work, school, and other responsibilities that I barely get to eat all three meals sometimes. I do have plans to begin my meal prep again Sunday night, to force myself into better eating habits since the food will be all set, done, and made for me already. Hopefully that will work and I can with time become a member of the “maintenance stage”.

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 have completed the first Livewell session, and I like the way it evaluated me. I am  currently in the maintenance stage in  most areas except for my eating habits which I am currently working on now. Im looking foward to the next session to see how much I have  improved.
