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.

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.

I decided to change my fitness program up a bit by going from a middle intensity level to a high intensity level. Also, I will try to be more active outside of just running on the treadmill.

Week 8 (Wellness 1: April 21-27, 2008)

This week has been easier to stay in the program than last. It was not at all hectic and was easy to stay in my stress management program without forcing myself to remember not to get angry at every little situation. Its summer and the weather is getting warmer by the day and so are some peoples temper if they're not careful in keeping collected. One thing I've noticed is that if my environment is nice and clean, I'm a more pleasant person. If my environment is chaotic and unorganized, I feel that I somehow become that way too. Its all about your mentality but having a clean environment helps keep ones mind less hectic and hopefully that reflects on your lifestyle.

Week 7 (Wellness 1: April 14-20, 2008)

This week has been very hectic because of signing up for classes and making sure all my credits transfer correctly. My parents has been nagging me also, it was a very difficult week to stick with my wellness management program. I think I handled the situation well and utilized my organizational and time management concepts well.

The wellness program has also been going smoothly. There has been an improvement in remembering to use my stress management techniques whenever I get a stressor. It was hard to focus on my stress techniques in the beginning but I've gotten a lot better at remembering. It's more of a habit now, I just know how to handle situations differently. But thats not saying I don't lose my temper at times with my brother, but I do manage the way I react very differently.

The fitness program has been going well, there are still sometimes a struggle to get on the treadmill but its gotten a lot better since the start of this program. I'm much more motivated and seeing results like dropping pounds encourages this motivation. I have noticed a difficulty in keeping my fitness schedule, sometimes its really hard to force myself into working out on mondays. I always do stretching, some yoga and pilates poses but getting the motivation to workout on mondays are a drag. Some days I feel really motivated and other days (like mondays) I just feel too lazy to run.

Week 6 has been pretty mellow for me because there was no struggle in keeping up with either of my wellness or fitness program. I kept with my fitness program and managed the wellness program with ease as well.

I was really motivated to workout this week and did a fantastic job at keeping up with my workouts. I really want to try and workout at least 4 days a week so that I can begin to see more results faster. I've lost 3 pounds but I don't think I'm pushing myself to the limit, I know I can do more.

Week 5 (Wellness 1: March 31- April 06, 2008)

The joy of fitness
Meeting my fitness goal
Activity 4

I have met all of my mini-goals.
Challenges and obstacles that I encountered were at first being motivated to continue with my exercise plan and forgetting to implement my wellness techniques to everyday life.

Long term goal 1: keep exercising at least 3 times a week for 30 days even after this course is over.
Long term goal 2: loose 10 pounds by june 2008.
Long term goal 3: make fitness/wellness a part of my life by continuing with these programs.

Wellness/Fitness has been going extremely well this week, I just have so much motivation to complete my fitness program this week. Part of it is because I've found new videos on youtube that actually work and it doesn't take a long time to do these specific workouts! I'll post the links to those videos this Sunday along with my fitness chart.

My fitness program has been going well so far. I have no problems to report, in fact I've made exercising a part of my routine. I am surprised by this because it was hard to stay on track during the first couple of weeks, but I guess because of having done this repeatedly I got used to my schedule. During Week 4, I was not able to do my Monday workout, so I fixed this problem by making it up during the other days of the week.

I have been completing all my mini-goals without problem. April 1st is the day where I notice a difference in completing all my course deadlines without procrastination. I have to be honest and say that I am not fully up to this level yet but I have completed everything on time and without much stress. Although I did procrastinate a lot on my NAS 162 coursework, I have also completed the assignments required and wrote down what I need to complete when for the future
