Step 1: Re-evaluating Short-Term Goals
Reasons I was unable to meet my specified short-term goals was because of my intensity level not being high enough. I should have increased my intensity level from the beginning when I knew doing middle intensity level was not tiring for me. If I had then my mid-fitness test would have improved since the first fitness test.

The challenges I've encountered was I suppose a lack of motivation. I should have started training in the high intensity zone when I knew my body could handle it instead of sticking to the safe zone.

Week 9 (Wellness 1: April 28 - May 4, 2008)

This week has been pretty consistant with last week. Nothing hectic going on, everything is going smoothly. I have remembered to do my stress techniques whenever I feel like a situation is getting the best of me. I have had fewer breakouts and the acne scars are fading away. But that could be my new cleanser working, but I'd like to think it is because of me handing things differently and not breaking out whenever I have an eassy due at the last minute.

Wellness Reaction 4

The wellness management program has been going smoothly since the beginning. There has been no problems I've noticed so far. I have been improving since the start of this program and I feel as though the stressful things in my life has gone down. I think I might feel this way because the way I deal with things that used to stress me out before the program was different. The way I handle things now have changed and because of that little stressors that used to affect me don't as much anymore.

Fitness Reaction 4

My fitness program has been going steady and smoothly since the beginning. The problem I have noticed was that there was not much improvement from my pre-fitness test to my post-fitness test. I have decided to change a couple of things in my fitness program to reach my maximum potential. First instead of staying in the middle intensity level for another week, I have decided to start training in the high intensity level from now on. Since the start of this program it has been easy for me to stay in the middle intensity level and I should have been training in the high intensity level knowing that I was capable of doing so. Also, I have decided to spend some more extra time outside or just dong some more aerobic activity at home. This way my body is always moving and will slowly get used to being a little more active. Plus I think it will be a fun way to be active besides getting on the treadmill.
