Intervention Project: Healthy Eating and Exercising
The behavior that I would like to change is eating healthier and exercising. For the past two years I have lived a sedentary life. I used to exercise four times a week for at least an hour. I have gained over 30 pounds in the past 2 ½ years. Right before I gained this weight, I was informed by my primary care physician that I was 20 pounds overweight for my height. It was not as if I wanted to gain weight, but my morale to exercise was gone. I plan to track my change in my eating habits by utilizing calorie counter apps on my phone in order to track my calorie intake daily. My daily calorie intake limit will be 2200 calories . I will be swapping out sugary drinks and drinking more water …show more content…
I spent the day reading for the class in between the downtime that I had at work. Once I left the office, I went to the daycare to pick up the children. After winding down for an hour, I attended my Real Appeal fitness session from 7:00-7:30 pm. My calorie intake for the 1212 calories. My recommended calorie intake from my fitness coach is 1515 calories. My water intake remained the same for today as it was yesterday. I have decided that at the point when I start to get full I will not overindulge and go over my limit.

The day began for me at 8:50 am as I overslept and did not make it to work on time. I arrived at work at around 9:30 am. Still exhausted, I was barely able to hold my head up during my staff meeting with my supervisor. By the time lunch came I was ravenous and went to Sonic. In one seating, I consumed well over 500 calories. I was extremely disappointed. I was discouraged because the night before had been a rough night. I was consumed with stress from my personal life and school work. This stress would not allow my mind to relax and this is the reason why I went to sleep so late the night before. At around 5:00 pm I was off of work. After leaving the office, I sat in traffic for an hour. I arrived at home around 6:15 pm and then I grabbed a few belongings as I headed off to my swimming class. I was in swimming class from 7:30 pm until 8:30 pm. While there, I burned 524 calories. Yay, Me! After showering and washing my hair I turned in for the night at around 10:55 pm. Tomorrow will be a better day. I will begin to take into account that just because I go to a fast food restaurant does not mean that I have to eat for that is high in fat and calories. I will have to keep in mind that eating a salad and being aware of the calorie content of the food that I consume is a big part in healthier
