Sauch Journal Analysis

Journal 1

Yesterday, I decided the niyama I will be practicing for the next two weeks is saucha. I chose this because I know I need to eat healthier, but I also don’t want to diet because once the diet is over, I’m back to the same old bad habits. I’m hoping this general cleanse will get me on the right path to healthy eating not just for these two weeks but for the rest of my life. Also, after going on Kairos, I know that I should try to refrain from judgements and keep pure thoughts, because mean and negative thoughts are normally wrong and don’t get me anywhere. Since I’m only on day two, I can’t really say I’ve gotten anywhere. I think I need to set some guidelines for myself so this can be more structured and easy to follow.

Journal 2
Weekends are typically hard for me when it comes to eating healthy. I think as I’ve gotten older, eating has become more of a social thing. So on weekends, normally my friends and I choose to go out to dinner, or get ice cream, and so on. When I went out to dinner yesterday night, I tried picking something healthy out on the menu. The

Wednesday and Thursday I was feeling really well. The increased water intake has actually given me energy! I noticed on Wednesday that my weekly workout class was a lot easier to get through, and it really is a difficult class. However, by the time I was in Alabama, I kind of failed to follow the guidelines I had set. On Friday morning, I had a tour and visit from 8-3:45 ahead of me, so I got some coffee. Luckily, I loved the Alabama campus so much that it almost mentally cleansed me. I see a light at the end of the tunnel we call high school! Being out of town, however, caused me to eat every meal out and I honestly let myself eat whatever I wanted. I had worked up such a big appetite both days that I didn’t even worry about what I put in my body. Hopefully being back home I can turn it back

    The 19th Century feelings surrounding the proper course of action at the onset of puberty in females reveals the lack of consideration being made for the social and mental health of women. For example, French doctor Marc Colombat suggests that pubescent girls be removed from school so that they may be under the constant watch and care of their mothers. Furthermore, he notes that preventing them from attending theatre performances and reading certain books would be helpful as girls reach puberty. This advice, while likely well-intentioned, appears to help support the opposition to women obtaining higher levels, which would increase their mental capacity and judgment. Likewise, the forceful removal of girls from their schools at the start of puberty likely inhibited their social development among peers.…

    The first journal that caught my attention and fit the category of “a personal response to a theme/topic in the novel” was providing a narrative which exemplifies my relationship with my best friend: the fourth journal entry. The reason why I chose this specific journal is because it really tackled the personal experience I once had with my former relationship and how it tied in with knowledge and beliefs. My interpersonal relationship with my former best friend resembled a certain situation that the characters in the book discussed; in both instances, both of us changed our views on seeing the advantages and disadvantages of a problem and seeing what consequences come with each side. Being in a relationship is a gateway to learning new things…

    My main focus for this week was to follow-up on projects that I was previously assigned and to update the management team on my progress. I was able to follow-up with all of the remaining sites as far as their stand still with the I-9 project. While taking on this project I have noticed that a lot of sites face the same issue, which is inconsistencies within their documentation/data. This is strange due to the fact that audits have taken place. This goes to show that there is room for error even when there are audits being done.…

    The journal issue I read about was first day jitters for children. A young girl was experiencing her first day of preschool, clenching to her mother’s hand, not wanting to go inside, and crying as soon at her mother left. The journal mentioned how teachers can actually take advantage of this time as “an opportunity to help children learn the skills they need to express their emotions” (Fox & Lentini 2006). Transitioning from staying at home to going to preschool is a big step, and it takes time in order for the child to feel comfortable in a completely new setting. The article along with the journal mentions different home-to-school strategies you can use to help your child transition.…

    My Struggle with Weight and Body Image Although I have always been considered small, my weight has always fluctuated beyond what is considered to be in the normal range of 1 to 2 pounds. The heaviest I have ever been is 123 pounds and I hit that as a freshman in college, unlike most individuals, I was my second heaviest as a freshman in high school. As a three sport athlete I ate whatever I wanted thinking that I could burn it off on the field and being bigger, muscle-wise was better. At the time food was more important that what I looked like and I felt stronger weighing on the higher end of the 110s than the lower end, and accepted the extra body fat that came with my diet and muscle. At some point as a sophomore I started to care more…

    The Berlin Journal by Robert Darnton provides an account on the reunification of East and West Berlin. Throughout the journal, Darnton reveals how confronting the past is an important step in moving forward. Darnton also examines the different meanings the Berlin Wall symbolized for East and West Berliners. Finally, the effects of reunification on the economic system were a concern among East Berliners as they did not want to let go of socialism. The three major themes in Darnton’s Berlin Journal included confrontations of the past, symbolism of the wall, and the impact of the economy.…

    Writing Journal (Morning Pages) I chose morning pages as one of my three pieces for Seasaw because it was something that I had to do at least three times a week for several weeks and it made me appreciate how important writing is. I haven’t written in a journal in such a long time since everything I need to write down is through my computer, phone, or if I write something on the board in class. This is a great strategy to bring into the classroom because it allows students to write about anything they want, with no rules! This helped me teach writing in my 3rd grade class because I had students starting to write in the morning versus the afternoon (mainly because I had to do it) and they were able to write about anything that they wanted. Students seemed to like this idea because they didn’t have to write on a particular topic, like they were used to, but others had no clue what to write about so I had to write suggestions on the board that students could use as a guide.…

    On July 24th, I kept a food diary for the day. After I looked at my results, it was not the best. Since it was on the weekend, it usually means no breakfast. During the weekends, my family never really eats breakfast, anyone who is hungry will eat ramen, cup noodles, or fried eggs with rice. During lunch, which was around 12 o’clock, I consumed about 1 cup white rice, 1 cup bamboo fried with sliced pork, ¼ boiled fish with cilantro and other ingredients, and 8 FL oz.…

    According to WebMD (2010) weight loss has to do with 80% food, 10% training, and 10% genes. Food has always been a problem for me and my weight loss journey. I love to eat out and there was a point in time where I only had soda with my meals and hardly ever drank water. However, as time passed, I noticed that what I put into my body really affected how I felt and functioned for that day. I felt as though my body was shutting down and at my heaviest I noticed that my knees were hurting more and more each day.…
