Two-Page Summary Reflection of the Wellness Project A. Progress My progress was generally good and I reached my goal of losing at least 10 pounds. It is considered safe for someone to leave at least 3.3 pounds per week. Therefore, in my three weeks while I was reflecting on what I wanted to achieve with this wellness report, I knew that I wanted to achieve a lot and I knew that I wanted to lose some weight. So, I did a lot of yardwork. I didn’t drink too much milk, actually, no milk at all unless I had breakfast. I still had breakfast and lunch, but tried to cut down on my milk intake as much as possible. I don’t eat junk food anymore at all, at least, I try not to—but my occasional downfall is Cookie Crunch breakfast cereal. Oh, yeah, and I also eat Tostitos with tons of salsa, I absolutely love chocolate ice cream… and Crullers from Dunkin’ Donuts, because I love to pig out on snacks! B. Reasons for Setbacks Well, one big setback is that I love food. I tried staying on a diet, but ultimately I had to severely limit my food intake and counted my calories. Plus, I did 50 minutes of treadmill every day, 20 minutes of kickboxing, and I also learned how to moonwalk in the process. I happened to work out to Jane Fonda and I love pumping up the Ozzie Osbourne music really high, and/or listen to Michael Jackson. I watched a video of of his so I could learn how, even though he’s dead and his doctor just got convicted of involuntary manslaughter. ‘Cause I loved me some Michael Jackson music, ugh! C. Goals Accomplished I lost 0.023 percent of body fat after I lost my ten pounds. I am doing great!!! I love mowing the lawn and working outdoors when I can. I do a ton of housework, I clean out the gutters all by myself, I absolutely love going up on top of the house and cleaning out all of the needles out of the gutters. It is super super fun. I also like jogging on Mondays because it makes me feel like a million bucks. D. How I Could Improve More I wish I had a better job because currently I work as a freelance accountant with a major bank in my city. I also write my horror on the side. I guess I could improve as a person, like my people skills could be a little better—but, overall I think I’m a pretty nice person. I try to do my best in any and all situations—I’m a great multitasker! I realize I’m not perfect, but I’m trying to improve myself every day. I could definitely improve by getting out more. I’m thinking about getting a cat. Maybe I will get one for Christmas! That would be awesome because I love cats. I also love dogs but maybe I will ask my favorite person to buy me a puppy. ‘Cause I love puppies too. That’s all for now! WORKS CITED Wellness Worksheets. [Online Articles].
