- State the situation: running
- List the options: Friday morning; run, not run, do yoga
- Weigh the outcomes: running gives me energy, feel like a slug, some activity, but not as much as I would like
- Values: I really value running. I also value my body and how I look and feel is important to me. I value myself as a model for others and never quitting, even on a day off.
- What was your decision?: running
- Evaluate : 2-3 sentences
- I thought this was a great decision to go for a run. It was short run, but still a great start to a great day with Mrs. Hindy during our day off. I hope to use this as an example for myself in the future to keep getting out and running.
Positive Lifestyle Factor: Avoiding Injury
- I avoid injury on a weekly basis by wearing my protective reflective vest when I go running. This helps because then the cars can see me running in the morning. I know this makes them feel better too.
- I do not wear a helmet when I ride my bike, nor have I had my bike into the shop for a tune-up since last year. These are both very poor habits, even considering it bugs me when my students don't wear a helmet when they are riding their bikes or mopeds!
Goal Setting (5 points per week)
- I have made progress towards my weight loss goal in that I have been making preparations for a fast here in the near future. Also, Ms. Zensen will be having a weight loss contest here at school real soon and I hope to participate in it for a little more motivation.
- I have not been recording my calories at all. This has been a great hinderence in my weight loss, as I am back to 207lbs. I really need to find a better time when I can record this data. I have just not found much time.
- I continue to learn that exercise is a great way to lose weight, but it needs to be combined with proper eating. These two ideas go hand and hand with each other. I feel I get my daily recommended activity, but I am still working on moving towards the most nutritious was of eating.
