Personal Statement : My Personal Wellness Plan

Welcome to my private practice. I believe in therapy as a confidential partnership between us as two individuals. This confidential process is one I have designed to help address your issues, worries, and more, better understand yourself, and learn effective coping strategies you can utilize in your everyday life. In order for this process to work, it will involve the sharing of sensitive, personal, and private information on your part. During the course of counseling, you may experience moments of increased anxiety or confusion. However, our goal is to achieve a positive outcome by pushing through those moments in an effort to either fix, eliminate, or process them. I am available to walk you through this process, but will not be able to

. Soon, I realized that family medicine was the specialty that fulfills my passion for providing integrated/comprehensive and continuing care, both preventive and therapeutic for all patients in different stages of their lives from prenatal to end of life and not just at a certain point or a particular time. It would allow me to fulfill my interest in pediatrics and at the same time still able to handle other aspects of medicine and patient populations. My desire to offer preventive care to my patients and participate in retarding and preventing many diseases is another factor that enhanced my passion to family medicine. I believe as a doctor, my job is not just to treat diseases but also to help people live healthier life and preserve their

At the very start of the school year semester. I was not at all fond about taking Fitness Wellness. I was honestly dreading the fact of working out. However, I knew I needed to take it and be a trooper about it. After all I could not really debate about it or complain about it. The Reason being it was a requirement set for me. Even though I was not excited about taking this program. I still decided to set up some personal goals, before starting the course. One personal goal of mine was to lose the extra body fat I had gained in the past months. My second goal was to achieve a healthier lifestyle by eating healthier. My third goal was to work out more and lastly gain a toner body figure like a healthy model you could say. In total I settled up four personal goals.

I will begin to consume 2 cups vegetables per day in the next 6 weeks. By the end of the course I will make my self to stop drinking sodas of all different types. In addition, I will begin to run 2 miles on Thursday and Friday in the next 8 week. I will keep track of my food journal from beginning of the week to the end of every weekend. My most important

Throughout the next 6 weeks, you will be making a series of manageable changes specifically designed to create balance for improved health and to gain control of your weight. You won’t find any calorie restrictions in the weekly tasks, however; if you have excess fat stores, you are likely to see a significant change in both your shape and weight from your metabolism efficiently burning fat for fuel instead of storing it.

After analyzing my overall wellness I realized that as a goal, I should really focus on my physical health. My goal is to start exercising, and to stop eating so much sugar. Instead of riding the bus most of the time, I will walk home. Instead eating sugary snacks i'll try to only eat what my mom makes which is breakfast and dinner. I will also try my best to pack my lunch with actual fruit rather than fruit snacks or any kind of those snacks. Walking home will help me get more exercise and it will also help me to burn more calories. Eating less sugar is no problem as long as I only eat what my mom makes, because she makes healthy food. In conclusion, I really do believe that I can finish my 30 day challenge successfully.

When I was working on my wellness plan, I considered the areas that need more improvement. I chose doable goals for my wellness plan, I know that some goals will require extra time and effort from me. Some areas need more improvement than others but at the end each of those Wellness Web areas will contribute to my well-being.

My personal wellness plan consists of losing 40 pounds, while maintaining this loss through a nutrition plan. Breakfast would consist of an (8oz) shake high in probiotics, protein, fiber, and vitamins. The use of this shake will help support the immune system, while making you feel full. Morning snack would consist of a hand full

The start of this term brought several areas to mind that could use improvement for me. It took me some time to decide exactly what I wanted to really concentrate on for the next 12 weeks or so. I decided that by tackling my own health would give me the most benefit for both the short and the long term. I didn't set out with a scale and graph paper to track my weight as I knew that my health encompassed a much broader spectrum and wanted to achieve an all around reward. I began looking at small changes that I could make easily. Changes that came easily to me were incorporating more protein into my diet and cutting back on the carbohydrates by eating protein bars, tuna, eggs, or yogurt for breakfast instead of a bagel or muffin. I keep raw, unsalted almonds in my drawer at work to snack on, and have replaced my afternoon Pepsi with water. These changes were small and didn't require a full scale re-do on my diet. The other change I decided to make was to incorporate more exercise into my daily routine.

They say in case of emergency situations you need to help yourself first then only you would be better able to help others. Getting time for one self and breaking the old patterns would be hard but what will happen to my family if I am not mentally, emotionally or physically healthy? I will reflect nothing else but only bad to them and this will make my condition even worse. The worse may happen when they will start making distance from me. Everybody likes people who are happy with positive attitude.

For online P.E. this year, my primary goals were to increase my overall fitness. I do not find the time to exercise frequently during the school year, so I wanted to develop a routine that was doable, enjoyable, and beneficial for my overall health. I set two goals: to increase the number of push-ups and sit-ups I can do in one set, and also to build up cardiorespiratory endurance (by training myself to run 5 miles in a single hour). As such, I chose exercises and activities that would help me achieve my goals. For my cardio activity, I chose to run on my treadmill for about an hour a couple days a week. For my strength activity, I chose to do pilates workout videos. I also used a workout app about once a week to add variety to both my strength and cardio routines. I fulfilled my additional choice activity requirement by hiking and playing pick-up games with my family and friends. I chose these activities because I believed that they would help me achieve my goals while also being enjoyable enough to keep me motivated. Overall, I am happy with my choices. While running on the treadmill may not sound like the most fun activity to do, I appreciated the consistency of running on a controllable treadmill. It was easy to judge my progress without the environment affecting my performance, like it would if I ran outside. Pilates is one of my favorite exercises to do, and probably the one I will continue the most into the school year. There are many different videos available

There are a lot of career related to metabolism, such as viticulturist, biochemical engineer and dietician. I find dietitian as an interesting career. For me to become a specialized dietitian, I need to pursue my study to a higher education level. I will start my studies with grade 11 and 12 Biology of Nelson education in Canadian Pre-University Program. During this foundation, I need to complete grade 12 Biology within four months. After I pass the examination for the grade 12 Biology, I will be awarded a diploma of Ontario Student Transcript (OST) from Ontario Ministry of Education Canada. This is because I already complete the Ontario education curriculum. Then, I can pursue my study either to the local university or to other university outside of my country.

I have been slightly overweight for a large part of my life. Since I have retired and started school full time, I have gained a few more pounds. I decided I would like to conduct my improvement project on myself and my weight loss adventure. I have researched why weight loss would benefit me, different weight loss plans, different supplements, and different ways to lose weight. I also researched different exercise regimens. After researching all the information, I committed to a plan and started my journey. Once I started my journey, I followed the Do, Study and Act phases of the PSDA concepts. Let me take you on my journey, starting with my researching and planning.

Weight loss and healthy life style can not be achieved with out combining exercise and a healthy diet. Eating poorly is a habit that can set you on a course for a unhealthy future. If exercise is the only thing that changes when attempting to find a healthier state of body, then the toxins that you eat will continuously harm your body. If you eat healthy but do not exercise, then your muscles will remain weak, including your heart and lungs. If a healthy life style is the goal then there must be a series of small goals. With the small goals in place you can ignore the over all goal and make incremental steps toward it. I want to eventually achieve physical wellness ,so I have set a goal that will kick start my journey. Essentially I want to delete all of the habits that are in the way of my goal. That may include TV, bored eating, fast food trips, drinking coke’s and a hand full of other habits. That is only the first step toward my over all goal of a healthy lifestyle. The next step toward physical wellness is preparing my meals and pre packaging them. Eating incrementally smaller meals through out the day is also a good habit. I can start to exercise habitually. If I can get to sleep on time then I can wake up and exercise and jumpstart my metabolism. In order to track my progression I plan to weigh my self at the beginning of each week Seeing and feeling results is all that comes next. This will reduce the random eating through out the day. Once I have implemented

The most prominent diseases in my family include hypertension, heart disease, diabetes and obesity. These diseases are mostly related to poor eating habits and inactivity, which is also prominent amongst members of my family. In order to control my risk for these diseases I would need to maintain a balanced diet and a regular exercise program. In my last Physical Education class we had to make a wellness change and document these changes within our ‘Wellness Journals’. My wellness goal was to increase my water intake to six to eight classes a day and eventually count down on my soda drinking. I successfully reached my wellness goal I have not stopped with my wellness plan to increase my water intake. I haven’t drank a soda since 2012 and that was a big step for me, however I am still not satisfied as a belief and can but more of an effort into my diet and exercise regime.
