Whole30 Reflection Essay

It is still so surreal to reflect back on my first semester as an incoming college student in the ENC1101 course, analyzing at my progression as a reader and writer in literacy. Since the first day of class I set in stone my goals for this class: receive a 4.0 GPA, develop my connecting theories skills in writing, and become more aware of objectives for each Unit throughout the course. All of these goals became achievements that not only make others proud but most importantly give me self pride. In order to earn the grades and achieve these goals, I went after every opportunity that I was given as an incoming college student, such as office hours and extra credit. By taking this course I have gained confidence with the utilization of literacy, and made an addition to my group of impactful literacy sponsors. Once students are finished with high school they assume that there is nothing else to learn beyond the stereotypical five paragraph essay, but they are so wrong. I was able to obtain so much knowledge about numerous course concepts from Writing about Writing, articles, and my professor. These concepts will carry on with me throughout a bright future of writing courses, job interviews, and any other skills that require literacy. The four outcomes listed below will help illuminate how I improved as a writer, by being a driven college student and going out of the way to earn my achievements in this course. In the first outcome I improved comprehending scholar texts,

As the day drew near I could not have been more prepared. Especially when my products came. Now long story short you want to know how much weight I lost well only 8 pounds. BUT I did not have the money to do the weekly colonics or the coffee enema 's which are pretty much required to be successful on this diet. I did not feel hungry past the 3rd day and I did not experience any of the emotional breakdown the book described for days 5-7. Which incidentally I read the book completely. Way to many testamonials in there. I wanted to try this diet because everything else I have tried has failed and I am an avid Howard Stern watcher/listener and Robin Quivers kept bragging about it. I had numerous questions and emailed Dr. Roni and group

Week two, I learned about ingestion. I learned when to eat and when you need to stop eating. When you have an appetite that means the psychological desire to eat food. When you are hungry that is the physical sensation of needing to eat food, which is localized in the stomach. Then satiety is the state of having had enough to eat. There is immediate and delayed satiety. There are of course factors that control these, which are the size of your stomach and illness. Also, different mood conditions and your genes play a role. I applied this to my life by knowing when I am at the hunger stage to eat, but when I get to satiety, then I need to stop eating.

Most of you probably prefer to drink coffee, soda, or other beverages opposed to water, but how

I have to say that I have been doing well with my food choices, but with the last three days, it was the weekend, and I didn’t do so well. I am a bit embarrassed of my choices over the

Recently I have been motivated by my friend Adrian’s life changing decision of putting behind his desire of just letting go and being determined to live a healthy life. I have always had an active life and enjoy playing sports but figured that it wouldn’t be enough and I am currently on a diet which has cut down on my calorie and sugar level intake. Nowadays I take the time to read nutrition labels and measure portion sizes which make a great difference. Every now and then I have a break and consume foods that are not healthy but I now I am doing better now. It is a constant struggle to not get tempted into a delicious looking pizza or some perfectly rounded donuts but I stay motivated to achieve my

However, by July 12, 2010 I realized that I did not think about Young and the Restless unless someone brought up the subject. I wondered if the reason for this was due to my busy schedule. By July 14, 2010, I realized that I was no longer bothered by the fact that I could not watch the Young and the Restless. After contemplating why I no longer has a desire to watch Young and the Restless; I began to wonder if I should give up something else. In addition, I wondered what I could give up and whether it would seem as if I could not handle not being able to watch the Young and the Restless show. Therefore, I decided to continue the Young and Restless abstinence experience. However, by July 16, 2010 I also decided that I would begin the Adkins Weight Loss Diet realizing that the first two weeks of the diet are brutal. I believe that I was in the preparation stage at this time because; I have been in every stage of change before when it comes to dieting. I lost 40 pounds last year however, I was not able to consciously make a decision to eat properly and exercise on a daily basis. Therefore, I gained 10 pounds of the 40 pounds lost back. Due to the fact that I had plans for the weekend I decided to start the Adkins Weight Loss Diet on Monday. In addition,

To make the track team I have to have a proper diet and know the differents between carbs and sweets.well it was in my best interest too, I didnt really want to. I just wanted to make yhe team so bad I needed to do whatever is possible. I cut out many foods out of my diet, candy, and lots of frozen meals which I ate a lot of. I knew it will take a lot to get used to.

I applied these strategies to help me lose weight. Before I began my weight loss journey, I must admit I didn’t have any set plans in mind but only to sign up for Weight Watchers (WW) to try it out. I had seen plenty of success stories, so I figured what’s the harm right? I signed up blindly, but once I activated my account I did notice WW had a set plan of a daily allotted points and pre entered foods with points attached. With this information I became motivated, so I set my phone aside and created a plan of action. I identified any and all crucial moments as to when I may want to eat poorly, or if I am having days I don’t want to cook or count any points (it seemed like a lot in the beginning). I also created vital behaviors and how I will enact these toward my crucial moments. First, there were no days off for weight loss, if I was going to lose weight I must commit. So I told myself if I chose to eat badly this day, the next day would be a great day. I also removed all foods that I knew were not good for me, only shopping for foods that were well within my point range for the day, and were filling as well. I turned a lot of bad days into good data. I noticed eating out wasn’t working because I lost more weight when I prepared my own meals versus eating out. I also realized, I love certain meals and made mistakes along the way of making old recipes just to have that meal I

Ahhh! I can't believe I made it through my first full week of Whole30. I seriously can't believe it!

DAY SIX: Fruit salad and coffee or tea (no sugar or honey, no cream, no milk)

I chose the behavior change of trying to eat out less and eat more home cooked meals. Even though I live at home, this was a very hard challenge for me because I am always on the go. My problem is that I do not manage my time well enough, and I do not live on campus. I do work on campus so I can bring my lunch which I do most days. Sometimes I do wake up late in the mornings and do not have time to fix my lunch. On those days I just run through a drive thru before going to work.

The 3 Week Diet Vs Half Day Diet – Which One Should You Try First?

I eventually grew to like the taste in later years. The incorporation of these childhood 'treats' came be seen in the food diary that I kept. They had become a familiar part of my diet as I began to demonstrate brand loyalty. I had a preference of KFC over Burger King and McDonalds, Pizza Hut over Pizza Pizza, etc.
