I have thought long and hard to figure out my Learning Project. In fact, this is the second time I have typed this out. Have to love how things tend to disappear; uuughhhh there was also no recover the last version option available. So here, I go again my learning project. I hope that this time around I have simplified it. Over the next semester, I plan to learn about a healthy lifestyle. I am hoping that the skills that I learn will allow me to continue to grow in terms of health and nutrition. All too often, we are guilty of neglecting out health and fitness. I think that as an adult you have to begin to take health seriously. I am hoping that my learning will have direct affect on my family and my students. I do the majority of cooking and shopping at my home. I usually share my lunch and snacks with my students; they tend to hover over my desk. My goal is to blog twice a week about new foods or products that I have tried, or perhaps a fun tip or article I have read. Wish me luck; I look forward to sharing my online Journey with you!!
The best way to present my Learning Project is through a list format. I know it seems like a lot, but it is manageable.
- I will choose and prepare healthy food
- I will include 2 meals and snacks everyday
- I will read labels and the best possible choices
- I will make meals and snacks at home
- I will prepare snacks so that they are ready to go
- I will try one new recipe a week and blog about it
- I will avoid packaged foods
- I will eat more fruits and vegetables
- I will choose foods with little or no added sugar
- I will avoid eating after 8PM
- I will drink at least 4L of water a day
- I will choose whole grains
- I will inform myself about healthy lifestyles through media and text.
- I will incorporate technology into my healthy lifestyle
- I will use the App My Fitness Pal to log the food and drink that I consume daily and keep with in recommended amount. I will do research and seek expert advice on what exactly this magic number should be.
- I will also use a Fit Bit to record my activity and I will strive to meet my goal of 12,000 steps a day
- I will stay active
- I will attend 2 fitness classes a week
- I will also aim to walk my dog daily
- I will seek to collaborate with an online community and experts in the field to learn as much as I can along the way. I believe that there is much to gain about health and nutrition from those around us.
