Personal Narrative: My Diet

Did you know cooking Kale doesn't get rid of any of its nutritional value. Kind of like me, no matter what happens I will always be me. In five words I would say that I’m shy, comical, athletic, intelligent, and weird in a good sort of way. My favorite color is sky blue. Not too intense but still colorful. I have a pretty casual style. I don’t go all out and style my hair and put on a really nice shirt but I probably won’t wear basketball shorts or sweats every time I go outside. I you see me you will see my blond hair, blue eyes, and me wearing jeans or some nice shorts with a t-shirt. I have a few pet peeves. First is when stuff is really unorganized, also when people try to be cool. Why can't they just be their self? My favorite type of food

Going into this assignment I felt as if it was too much work and I would not enjoy it. That was not the case I loved this assignment and the tasks were extremely beneficial. Some tasks I felt as if they were important such as Coping Strategies and the Eating Log. I also found tasks to be difficult for me like Unplugging myself for twenty four hours as well as communication. My fitness log needs improvement throughout my life.

Two of the many areas I need to change in my diet are carbs and salt! Believe it or not, I need to consume more carbohydrates than I have been lately. When I do this, I will choose the dark breads. Whole grains can provide me with the nutrients that I need also. During breakfast, which I usually skip, I should choose oatmeal with fresh fruit, but never have the oatmeal in the packet, as they have too much sugar! Bananas are also a good source of carbs, is a fruit, and is loaded with potassium.

I don’t think I would have ever imagined me calling myself a Vegan since my two favorite foods in the past were watermelon and Steak. I could have easily pounded a 12 oz steak on the daily if I could a few months ago. Now, I can’t ever imagine myself ingesting an animal, I don’t think ever. Taking what I have learned from being Vegan and applying it to my daily life in ways i wouldn’t have thought of before has made me change my outlook on life. Before Veganism, I pictured myself in a stressful but decent way to live like going to college and getting a degree for music or even business. I still have that mindset just so much more creativity and a more positive outlook that could come with those passions of mine. I’d love to start

I went to lunch with Vincent and we shared a big plate of nachos as we sat next to Sasha and Rita and joked about everything. Vincent smiled at me like I was the greatest thing since butter milk. For those of you who don't know that saying it means the person is crazy for you. I looked at him and smiled as I thought to myself why couldn't I just be in love with him. But this wasn't a novel this was real life and in real life we do not get what we want. We just don't Life comes with trials and tribulations and a pare of big blue eyes sitting next to me with a bowel of chicken noddle soup. I must have gotten a what the fuck are you doing here look on my face because he smiled and said “There's nowhere else to sit.” He told me and turned and

For my dietary analysis I choose to document two days early on in the semester as it was a time that I was in the process of trying to gain weight, so I though it would be interesting to see exactly what I was consuming.

Generally, if I wanted to improve my dietary habits, it has to begin with what I eat for breakfast. If I want to get a more satisfactory amount of nutrients and such, I would have to attempt to implement more fruits. I was thinking that perhaps I could attempt to add in more fruits such as strawberries, apples, oranges, and bananas. Both strawberries and oranges are widely recognized for the amount of Vitamin C they contain. However, both of those fruits also contain sugars, which although are in fact a bit bad in high quantities, are still quite healthy. In addition, apples also contain a lot of healthy nutrients, such as fiber, Vitamin C, and soluble and insoluble pectins.

November 15th, a regular old day, but it was also my birthday. I prod up and checked my phone for a couple of minutes, which legitimately means three hours of my time. I brushed my teeth and did all the regular duds humans usually do in the morning and yes, that also consists of me trying on five or more outfits and questioning if I actually look presentable. I speculated to myself that I was going to have a great day, but it ended up going more down hill than Jack from the story Jack and Jill.

So, I'm starting a weight loss blog. Yay!(?) Actually, I've never done this before since I'm not one for writing. The reason being I'm not even remotely skilled at it, fortunately, this isn't to show off my skills. (Or lack thereof :p) Basically, it's so that I might, in fact, stick with it this time. Presumably I should start with a little background, yes? For the most part, I've struggled with my weight almost all my life. Granted, my family is basically all overweight, at least on my mom's side. That is, excluding my mom, of course. Also predictably, my sister inherited all the good genes. For instance, she wore a size 0 (there are sizes smaller than an 11?) until she turned 19. After that she went up to a whopping size 5, note the

It was a cold, gloomy, desolated December morning, when I woke up. I woke up in a shelter that was pre-built by my father and I a couple of days before. We would always hunt around this time of the year in this area for the past couple of years. I was already used the coldness and hunger but this year it was different, my dad decided that I should try hunting alone to see what I have learned. I was safe of course, I had a GPS tracker on me so if I got lost my father could find me. I looked at the time and it was 4 in the morning, I was hungry and knew I had was running low on food so I had to fine a buck in order to replenish my hunger. For the past couple of days I hadn’t be able to find anything, and I couldn’t go home unless I had bagged

It was around the date of May, 2016, when I started to realize that I wanted to do something about my weight. It wasn’t like I was super obese or something, but I knew that I could look better. There was just this one day where I thought to myself, “Damn Conner, It’s about time to start looking good and be healthy before it gets too out of hand’. So I first started to walk 30 minutes each day while watching a movie and then it moved on to going on the elliptical at house for 30 minutes almost everyday. My mindset level was that I was losing weight which don’t get me wrong, that is a great mindset level, but that was like my second month of working out.

I do not have much of a desire to change my diet since it is not that bad on a normal day. If there was anything I would want to improve about my diet is to try to eat more protein and eat less candy and snack foods. Candy and snack food is one of my biggest down falls in my diets at this point. I have progressively been trying to cut back on the amount for these foods I eat. I have been doing a pretty good job but I know I could do better. I will try and realize that by eating the candy and snack food I am preventing myself from eating something better for me. Also I am never full when I eat these kinds of foods which I another reason why I should try and stop eating these kinds of foods. So I am going to try and replace the snack food and

I was able to take a step back from behind the counter and put myself in the customer’s shoes. I walked in the front doors and followed the crowd of people, which led me straight to a giant mass of confusion. I noticed that nobody knew where to stand in line, nobody knew who was next to order, and nobody knew where to pick up their food. I then decided it was time to come up with a new process. I figured if I interview customers out on the floor, who have already received their food and ask how their experience went and would they change anything. With this strategy in mind, that’s exactly what I did, and the results were unanimous.

In the snow there was a animal foot print. SO I rusht to get a knife from the kitchen. I went outside and the snow tracts where gon!!!! I know that they can walk away but the roads were clear. “Danit” I couldn't get there in time now I have no idea what animal or thing that was. I finished up the day I cleaned up and ate diner.

I walked into a new gym, and I saw a guy hitting a volleyball harder than I had ever seen anyone hit before. In the next moment I saw him walking over to me before my practice started. He said hello to me. I was a 13 year old kid when I first meet KK Paela at club volleyball practice. After knowing KK for a year, he began to help me become a better volleyball player by fixing all of the mistakes that I was making. He told me how to improve my hitting by reaching my elbow up higher, how to become a better passer by keeping my platform out in front of my body, and to hit around the block instead of hitting right into it. Everything that he has taught me since the day that I first met him has made me the person that I
