Have you ever wondered what it would be like to track your food for 14 days? I did just that. I believe most of us live on a day to day basis tracking what we eat, how many calories we intake, and so forth. However, sometimes the reward is not at the end of each day; sometimes the reward it is at the end of a lengthened period. Using the My Fitness Pal app on my phone and computer I could effortlessly track what food and nutrients I ate during a 14 day stretch. The app did all the work for me and I highly recommend trying it out. It is very accurate in the amount of each measurement it lists. At the end of 14 days I observed specifically but not restricted to total number of calories, sodium, sugar, and protein and compared each number to the DRI recommended daily intake …show more content…
Weighing in at a total of 748 grams of sugar I could immediately tell this was my biggest concern. That is 748,000mg of sugar or 26.38oz. After reflecting on this number, I proceeded with the comparing to DRI’s daily recommended intake which equates out to 525g (37.5 daily) over a 14-day period. That’s puts me 223g of sugar over the recommended daily intake. This concerns me because in America sugar is obsessively digested and it is a growing concern for many people especially those who take pride in a healthy diet. Most my sugars were derived from food with added sugars as an ingredient. If I were to substitute soda for coffee I would be even further over my limit and projected into an unsafe zone of sugar intake. From this time on I will also be watching the sugars I intake. They are not nutritious and burn up in short amounts of time proving to not be the most effective choice for energy. In addition, sugar intakes at this level could cause my body to develop diabetes stage 1 or 2. They also store to fat easily due to the amount digested and will prevent me from reaching my goal of losing 12
Thank you so much for your patiently waiting on this. I will defiantly consider you 30 day notice to be the day that you first were asking on the change in enrollment. Thankfully I do have the ability to make the care that you need flexible. At this time of year enrollment doesn’t tend to change much, so even if the contract is canceled, I am positive there will be spots available to Clara and Caden, whenever needed.
See what I mean, this weekend went by horribly slow. We really need to do something about a Three day weekend. Students would get more sleep. We have more time to prepare for a possible test the coming monday. We´d have more time to do homework that was maybe assigned over the weekend. We would have so much more time to spend with our friends and family. The teachers would get more time to prepare for lessons throughout the week.
The primary goal of my behavior change project was not to eliminate my sugar intake entirely, but to cut back on the amount of sugar that I consumed per day to a healthier amount. Before this project, I was consuming 1-2 twelve packs of soda per week. Each soda can contains 48g of sugar…that’s 576-1,152g of sugar! According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the maximum amount of added sugars you should eat in a day are (7): Men: 150 calories per day (37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons). Women: 100 calories per day (25 grams or 6 teaspoons).This is a six week project, in which each week I will decrease my sugar intake, until I reach zero grams of sugar per day.
After the 4 days, I saw that if I ate a good breakfast and lunch nothing changed. I was still happy and my energy was high the rest of the day. But on Sunday, I didn’t eat a lot and I was using a lot of my energy over an extended period amount of time, my energy level dropped very quickly.
It was a frigid February Sunday. In the suburbs of Washington DC, the weather is like an infant, no knowing what it will do. I began my day gloomy, as I have been for the past couple of days since the day Maa passed away. I raced the sun to see who could get ready quicker, and I won. My head felt quite cool for I forgot that my hair had nearly been shaved off. I had the taste of chocolate milk in my mouth from last night, the warm mug that my aunt gave me. My next challenge was to get around this labyrinth in my room to the bathroom. Instead of rustic walls, the walls consisted of guests laid across the floor, staying at our place for today.
They want to add 90 min to school every day.They will hate that and it will be a long day and I get home late and not do my home work then I would go to sleep late because they added 90 min. All the class will be longer it would be long day for me we will stay later and now it gets dark outside and I will have no time to play outside then I just go inside and sit and play my game. We get out at 2:50 then if they add 90 min we will get out at
Five days can make a big difference. In as little as five days you can cleanse your system of drug toxins no matter how hard the drug or how heavy you have used. A 5 day kit can rid your blood, urine and saliva of any trace of unwanted toxins. But it does take time, effort and abstinence from drug use. Continuing use during a detox will greatly reduce your chances of success. Follow the instruction and you can be clean in 5 days.
God did not create us for the easy times. He did not breathe life into us for the times of peace and tranquility. These are our restful periods when we can re-group and regain our strength for the battles ahead. He created us for the messy periods, the turbulent times, and the crisis moments. Why?
Keeping track of your diet can help you prevent a lot of health risks and keep your body up and healthy. Even skipping a simple meal can result in something damaging to your body. This activity helped me learn a lot about my body and what I should be in taking and what I shouldn’t be taking. One of my biggest strengths when is comes to my eating habits is staying persistent with what I eating and how much I eat. For example, I eat breakfast every single morning whereas some people skip breakfast one day then eat breakfast the next. Another strength would be the number of calories I intake daily, although they are under the average amount I’m supposed to be intaking I do keep it at the same level almost every other day. One last strength I have when it comes to my eating habits is I don’t eat unhealthy, yes I do eat some unhealthy things here and there, but I don’t overload myself with unhealthy fattening foods. Although I do have strengths they still aren’t at the best they can be. To improve them I’m going to start keeping a food journal to keep track of all the foods I’m eating daily. This will help me come to an agreement and can stabilize my eating habits to the point where I’m satisfied with what I’m eating and my overall well-being. Keeping track of my diet was so helpful because it made me realize that even the slightest deficiency can
It’s the smell of your grandma’s house, the scent of wax crayons and Elmer’s® glue, the aroma of your favorite home-cooked holiday cookies that your mom baked only once a year when you were a kid. Smells and odors have a natural tendency to transport you back to the rose-colored years of your childhood. Before you know it, you’re suddenly caught up in thoughts of who you were and how you’ve changed or perhaps reflecting on which decisions brought you to where you are in that particular moment in life. It’s in that moment, those short-lived moments, that one deeply appreciates the ability to smell and maybe wonders how such an arbitrary smell can have such a strong emotional response. Most of the scents that have strong emotional connections, nowadays, originate from inside of buildings and houses, just as most of the population lives indoors and spend most of their time in their homes or office buildings or schools.
Students love three-day weekends, but imagine a four-day week all year long. A lot of schools have already adopted this schedule, making school easier for both the students and the teachers. While the students have an extra day to recharge and relax for the week ahead, the teachers have time to plan better, more complex lessons. It's a win for both the teachers and students. This new schedule is a very controversial topic within schools which would be a great improvement to be adopted among all. School’s should switch to a four-day schedule because students have a higher morale, it would give them more personal time, time to study and sleep, and the teachers would have more time to prepare for more superior lessons.

For class, I was challenged to avoid a sweet food that I eat almost every day for forty-eight hours and see the effects on the brain by avoid this sweet. Therefore, I decided to avoid ice cream because every day when I go to the cafeteria I end up having ice cream for either lunch or dinner.
The college workload is something that teachers did not prepare students enough for while they were in high school. Many students fall behind and have difficulty completing all of the work that is assigned to them. A twenty four hour library that is available for students is a great idea because it provides students with many great opportunities and conveniences when it comes to getting their schoolwork done. A twenty four hour library molds to the way of life for college students, gives students a quiet place to study, and provides students with resources that a student may not have. Yes a twenty four hour library can prove to be difficult for staffing, but the positives greatly outweigh the negatives.
My daily sugar intake was about 30 grams, which I think is not so bad compare to a lot of other people. My sugar intake are mostly from my sun tea that I drink every morning, instead of drinking blended very fattening coffee. I gave up a lot on sweets, which means no cookies, cake, pastry’s, cereal, soda or fruit drinks. On a daily life I usually will eat 2 or 3 teaspoon of ice cream, then I quit. I try not litter my body with too much toxic, I try very hard.
