Overall, this has helped me a lot because the first two weeks were hard, but it got better over time. The longer I did this diet and workout my Mood and Motivation to do things like chores have changed drastically that even my own mother was surprised. I didn’t do this project because I don’t like how I look. I did this because it changed me into a better person physical and mentally. I’m fine with my body as a person, but I felt that I can do better as a person. So I decided to do a workout and diet that is specific to my needs. I know this will have a huge impact on our community because it doesn’t matter if you’re skinny or obese. We all need to eat healthily and exercise, by doing this you will be able to have a positive self-image. Doing a workout and having a healthy diet is important not just for you but for your community as well because people are becoming more active as a family and are being a better person because of it.

For the first day of my workout for the third week, I did the same level of workout that I did last week to see if I can handle it. Doing the workout was super easy now, so I decided to bump up my workout to intermediate, but if you feel that you are still not able to conquer that 1st level its all right. Stick with it until the end. Doing the intermediate level was a bit challenging, so I’m planning on sticking with it for the next week and see how I go on from there.

The weekend was a bit challenging because there was a party meaning that there was going to be junk food everywhere. One it is disrespectful if you refuse any treats of course, so what I did was that I passed them on to my parents. Let’s just say that we took some home and I couldn’t handle the smell of it so I decide to take a small bit of the cake and you know what happened.

This happened but with my mother for she knew that I was doing the workout and diet. In the end, I’m proud of myself because I was able to handle my hunger for junk food which became less and for at least try to stick with the plan. Which I still plan on doing to the next 3 weeks.

Doing the workouts became a lot easier for me because I got used to doing the workout. Now, I can actually keep up with the workout all the way through. Doing the workout, changed my sleeping routine in a better way. I would sleep late and wake up early, meaning that i slept little hours. I would just sleep early and wake up early which gives me more time to prepare my lunch while also sleeping the right amount of hours each day. Some days, I would just feel tired in the morning, and I don’t want to get up.

On the weekends I have work depending on the schedule that I am given.

I have to admit doing this workout was hard because I had to do many breaks with in the workout, but I made sure that they were only 2 – 3 breathers and I went back to the workout. The first day I passed out the minute I got home, and I laid on the couch. As for the food, my parents are pretty healthy; the only thing is is that they both like tortillas, bread, and sweets. The tortillas were easy to avoid, but the bread and sweets taunted me to the core. While looking at the sweets, I would think of eating them. What I did was that I would grab all of the sweets and through them in the back of the closet to not even think about eating it. The first and second day wasn’t as hard as the third day because that was when I actually felt the pain of working out for three days. My thighs were sore from doing the ab workout which I don’t even know how I got sore in the first place with my thighs. So pretty much for the first week it was tough because of the sweets within the house and getting used to the workout.

Health diet: No sugar No snacking No junk food No tortillas No fried food Eat more veggies than meat that are on the plate.

Everyone is different and so are the needs of one’s body. This is why I made a passion project for health and fitness because instead of losing weight I actually want to gain more muscle and in this case muscle weights more than fat. This idea came to me when I was discussing with my two friends about what we should do for our project. I wanted to gain muscle in this project, while also becoming a healthier person.  I will be doing this by going on a workout and healthy plan diet that is tailored to my wants and needs. I know this will have a huge impact on our community because it doesn’t matter if you’re skinny or obese. We all need to eat healthily and exercise, by doing this you will be able to have a positive self-image. I hope that my project will motivate people to become a healthier individual even if they do small little changes like not eating junk food and just walking around the block. Just maybe, this will inspire the people within our community to do the same and become an even better person. To make this happen I made a specific plan: In the 1^st week, I Research about healthy food that I would benefit from and from there I made my healthy plan diet. Then around the mid-week, I searched for a workout that fits my wants of having more muscle and, on Thursday I went to the store to buy the healthy foods that I need. In week 2, I will be taking a picture of my body and weight myself to see what I weight at the time. I will be starting my diet and workout. Then I will be writing on a piece of paper of my plan to remind me of what to do each day. In week 3 I will be doing the same thing as in week 2 and work on checkpoint 3. In week 4, I will be doing advance work all the way up to week 6. The biggest obstacle course in my passion project is being determined to follow my workout plan all the way through. This is why I think it is best to write out a plan and to do this with a friend so that you can feel determined. I hope that my project will motivate and get people to do exercise and eating right. So that our community can change in a positive way and be active as a community.
