I am currently in a weight management and fitness class, which makes me keep a food log and set diet goals to stay healthy and reach my weight. One goal I have set for myself this semester is to make sure to eat fruit and vegetables with every meal. Two meals that I would like to make, and would help me out with eating more fruits and vegetables are the baked apples and sweet potatoes and the black bean and rice salad. Both of these meals will meet the requirement I set of getting more fruits and vegetables into my diet, as well as accommodate for me being a picky eater. xzarobin https://padlet.com/xzarobin/a33bqcy6hqao5tma/wish/2385134647 2022-11-15 16:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/xzarobin/a33bqcy6hqao5tma/wish/2385134647 xzarobin https://padlet.com/xzarobin/a33bqcy6hqao5tma/wish/2385135370 2022-11-15 16:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/xzarobin/a33bqcy6hqao5tma/wish/2385135370 While taking the sleep quiz, I found out that I am not getting a healthy amount of sleep each night. I tend to sleep 5-6 hours each night while the recommended amount is to sleep 7-8. My sleep score was a 9/10. I am a very good sleeper and don't tend to have a lot of other problems like getting up in the middle of the night or other things along that line. The only thing that I need to do to better my sleep is to go to bed earlier and create a sleep schedule. Having a sleep schedule is very important. Stretching before I go to bed is going to be added to my sleep schedule since it will help reduce stress and help relax my muscles. I will also create a music playlist and use the Spotify sleep timer to fall asleep to peaceful and relaxing music to help ease stress. Another thing I will do is use the sleep program in the health app on my phone to help set daily alarms that vary for my classes and put my phone in different modes at night. This will make sure I get the right amount of sleep. I will also turn off any electronics 30 minutes before I go to bed. This will make it easier to fall asleep due to blue light reducing melatonin levels. Once those electronics are off, I will then write all of the things I need to do the next day down and put it somewhere I can see when I wake up in the morning. This will help with productivity throughout the next day. xzarobin https://padlet.com/xzarobin/a33bqcy6hqao5tma/wish/2388379447 2022-11-17 14:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/xzarobin/a33bqcy6hqao5tma/wish/2388379447 As I take PEGN101, I have learned a lot about setting fitness goals and staying true to them. One of the fitness goals that I had set at the beginning of the year and have stayed true to is working out for eight hours a week, four days a week. Four of those hours need to be weight-based training, while the other four need to be cardio-based training. I wanted to try to do this just for the semester at first, but I have built-in working out into my schedule, which has helped me a lot. I have had a hard time concentrating in class due to a lot of hyper-focus disorders given to me at a young age. Going to the gym before class helps with focusing due to the increased levels of dopamine rushing to my head. If people are looking for a good LBC credit and aren't a physical education major, take PEGN101. It teaches you a lot about how to maintain, lose, or gain body mass in a healthy way. xzarobin https://padlet.com/xzarobin/a33bqcy6hqao5tma/wish/2388413194 2022-11-17 14:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/xzarobin/a33bqcy6hqao5tma/wish/2388413194 Mindfulness is key to helping keep stress and other negative emotions at bay and knowing how to feel your emotions. One way I practice mindfulness is by meditating once or twice weekly. Meditating helps with the management of your thoughts and playing out scenarios. The goal of meditation is to pay attention to the moment of now without any judgment. Another way that you can be mindful is by focusing on your breathing. This will help with attentiveness and focus on things happening around you. xzarobin https://padlet.com/xzarobin/a33bqcy6hqao5tma/wish/2388470373 2022-11-17 15:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/xzarobin/a33bqcy6hqao5tma/wish/2388470373 xzarobin https://padlet.com/xzarobin/a33bqcy6hqao5tma/wish/2388471177 2022-11-17 15:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/xzarobin/a33bqcy6hqao5tma/wish/2388471177
