My freshmen year, surprisingly, passed by quickly. I was so busy with volleyball, basketball, track, and new school rules that I did not have much time to pick apart my body. There was still a part of me obsessing over my weight . I really started picking out my flaws my summer going into my sophomore year. I worked out every day in the summer.

I just feel stuck in the middle since I know that there is improvement that I could do towards my body for my own happiness and health. I also feel neutral because I know that my current weight is not how I want my body to look like but, the weight is something I am currently working

There should only be about ten percent or less of calories that are from saturated fats. Referring back to my food log I can see that I exceed the value about 8%. Throughout my diet I increased the intake of green leafy foods to help balance out my diet along with mixed vegetables. One thing that I did not add on to my diet is fruit. Fruits play a major role with digestion of foods, which should have incorporated in my diet to balance it. I really need to increase my physical activity level, including both cardio and interval training. I know that the carbs that I consumed really puts on a lot of weight and makes me bloated. Also the juices that I drank were full of sugar. After reading through the book and discussion in class I have realized that I need to stay far away from food with added sugar. Moreover, I should be consuming food low in saturated fats, and has no added

The Army Body Composition Program (ABCP) relies on a basic form of body circumference measurements to determine a soldier’s body fat composition.

The weather was glorious. About 90 degrees, with nothing but sun shine! Not even a cloud in sight. I jumped out of bed, and made my way to the bathroom down the hall. As I was finishing with brushing my teeth, I spit in the sink, looked at myself in the mirror with a stern glance and said, “You made it”. After all, I was only 2 short hours from making my way to the Minnesota Vikings first training camp practice of the 2001 NFL season, located near the hotel I was staying in, in Mankato. Although, that wasn’t the only reason why I credited myself. I have been known to struggle with my weight in the past, but I felt good

Two hundred and ten pounds, was that all I could do after a whole summer of strength camp. I felt as though I was sinking in quicksand, all this effort yet only for a loss in my strength. I remembered then of all that I have done to get this far starting at one hundred and thirty-five pounds. After a whole two years, I trained not missing a workout nor a day of strength camp. To reach what I now believed to be my plateau,

Obesity has dramatically increased in the United States over the past two decades. Along with obesity come many serious, preventable health conditions. Currently, more than one-third of adults in the United States are obese (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2015). If current trends continue, experts predict that half of all Americans will be obese by the year 2030 (CDC, 2015). Body mass index (BMI) is said to provide the most useful population-level measure of overweight and obesity (National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), 2015). Using tools such as the adult BMI assessment, health care providers can identify problems and work with patients on a solution to decrease the incidence of obesity and maintain

Within “Famine, Affluence, and Morality” Peter Singer delves into the topic of famine; specifically, the moral obligations individuals in affluent countries have to those who are suffering. In his example, Singer focuses on the population of East Bengal, and their struggle with famine and extreme poverty. Singer proposes that with enough aid from both individuals and various governments extreme poverty can be eradicated. Therefore, the question he presents is why poor people are dying while affluent people are spending excess money on luxuries? Singer argues that affluent people, living in affluent countries, are not helping developing countries by failing to give enough to alleviate extreme poverty.

I will be making sure to eat more fibrous foods to meet my target. In regards to the macronutrients I was very surprised that I had not met the target on many of the nutrients. Upon looking at the report it seems that I fell shy of meeting my target consumption of these nutrients by very little. Unfortunately I noticed that my potassium intake was low, it seems that I only ate about half of what I should be consuming. This surprised me especially since we always have bananas on hand at my house. I will try to make an effort to incorporate more foods into my diet that have potassium like bananas and prunes.
