Livewell Session 2

My second session of livewell continue to be a success. I am in maintenance stage still for both exercise and healthy eating while my stress management is at its best. Like I wrote from my session one, I needed to focus on my core muscles, I was able to change my exercise routine by increasing the workout time by 5%. This is due to myself doing more reps when working out.  I also focus more on my fruit eating habit as well as my drinking habit (more water daily than ever before).  Keeping up with my eating habit remains one the most challenging thing that I will need to do to stay healthy.

For my second session the same goal is at hand, get in the best shape mentally and physically. My live well stages are set at action for exercise and healthy eating while stress is at maintenance. In terms of exercising, I have kept up with bodyweight training while mixing it up routinely to keep the workouts fresh. I have looked into diets and have been intrigued by the ketogenic diet. This diet consist of limiting carb intake to a minimum while fats and proteins make up the rest of your diet. Overall the diet seeks to put the body in ketosis, which is the most optimal state for fat burning. Before the body can burn fat it burns carbs for fuel, the keto diet skips this process by keeping carbs low and having fat storages used instead. In addition,  I have also looked into supplementation such as a multivitamin, vitamin d, and omega 3. A blood test will tell us our vitamin deficiencies but in general, it doesn’t hurt to have these three as icing on the cake on top of good nutrition, exercise and rest. Oddly enough I have also looked into nootropics recently.  Nootropics are another kind of supplement, however, more potent per dosage allowing better brain function, focus, mood and determination. These types of pills aren’t like limitless pills from the Bradley Cooper film Limitless but they help to a great extent. When needed, needed being the key word, nootropics can help with studying, exams and work. It’s no wonder that many financial executives on wall street and silicon valley employees have been known to take them to better their cognitive performance. That has been my experience with my second live well session.

Live Well session 1 Daniel

The session was interesting. The questions were very helpful and basic on everyday obstacles that one endures.  I was placed in the “active” phase,quite simply because I started a diet on January 1st and my goal was to lose 22lbs by the 6th week which is the current week. Not precise, but close at 20lbs shed. Though working out and staying healthy was always an important part of my life, I really implemented it with more dedication at the start of the new year. Eating healthy has been a routine since I approached my 30th birthday, and anticipate on keeping the stride going. I will continue to see improvements in the current months and look forward to using Live Well as a guide. The mental part of the session was also interesting as stress is inevitable in our daily lives because we as human beings must face the daily challenges in our lives.

I do hot yoga and other forms of exercise. Livewell motivated me to continue to make a schedule for my exercise days in my planner. I especially enjoy hot yoga classes so that I am in tune with my body and it gives me time to take my mind off of daily/weekly stress. When I sweet I feel as though my body is being refreshed and this  encourages me to make heather choices.

Dear classmate,

I was so impressed with all your  posts and steps you took to live well, so I decided to do the first step toward exercising. I bought my first sneakers in 5 years.

LiveWell Session 1

I learned that I was working out but not enough I can easily fall back into not working out at all. I am a full time student and have an internship and also a part-time job so it is difficult to have the energy to workout sometimes. I have tried this new thing where I will put my workout clothes in a bag and leave it in my car so I feel guilty for not working out and I go straight from class or work to the gym. I usually wear my workout clothes to class and that makes me motivated to right after but on the days when I have work I skip the gym. This has been working so far and it is hard but I want to give it my best.

Live Well 1st Session

Living Well

I really enjoyed doing the survey for living well, it was very informative. I also saw the areas where I need to improve e.g. even though I love  to eat a balance nutritious  meal , I still  must use portion control. Exercise: I need to do it at least  twice  a week.
