Personal Observation
My personal goals this semester was to have bigger thighs, to have bigger biceps, and to lose weight. I did reach my goals but not as much as I would have liked. I would love to have even bigger thighs and bigger biceps. I am very satisfied with my weight lost. Before this class I used to have an inflated belly because all the fat goes there. Now, I lost the majority of the fat and my belly is less inflated. The problems that I encountered was that I could not keep working out every day because of my schedule. My busy schedule made me lose a lot of workouts and that demotivated me. The success that I noticed was that I stopped drinking sodas and juices and my belly fat went reduced significantly. Because of soda and juice, sugar concentrated …show more content…
That extra energy that I have will come in very handy because I am going to be working on black Friday and it is going to be a crazy and long shift. My sleep pattern is still the same as it was before this class. Because I work a lot, I wake up early everyday and I do not get a chance to sleep in. Also, because of my job my sleep pattern does not change. My water intake before this class was not that much, I barely drank any water. I used to drink a lot of juice during the day and when I was on my lunch break at work I would drink a lot of sodas and icees, which have way too much sugar in them. Currently I drink a lot of water during the day and I limited drinking juices to one time a day, but I go days without actually drinking juice. My body changed for the better. Currently I feel better than ever and I actually get less headaches then I did before. I used to be sensitive to headaches and got them very easily but now I barely get one and if I do get one it goes away, or it is not that strong. Also, my eye stopped twitching which was very annoying. My strength also changed; I am stronger then I was before, and I even impress myself when I lift some heavy

    1. If not Lizzie, then who? Only Lizzie had a good opportunity to commit the murders. At the time of her mother's murder (around 9:30 A.M.), household guest John Morse was visiting relatives, sister Emma was out of town, Andrew Borden was running errands around town, and maid Bridget Sullivan was outside washing windows. Only Lizzie was known to be in the house at the time of Abby Borden's murder. To commit both murders (Andrew Borden was murdered around 11 A.M.), an outside intruder would have either have had to hide in the house for 90 minutes or departed and then returned without being seen.…

    Imagine having just finished a long, stressful day of school on a rainy Tuesday when suddenly you hear your stomach growling vigorously as it cries out for food. As you contemplate whether to eat at home or at a restaurant, you slip your hands into your pockets and, to your surprise, find a five-dollar bill. Making an opportunity out of the discovery of the money just scavenged, you decide to walk over to Chacho’s to partake in the infamous “Taco Tuesday.” Once seated, you are instantly swayed by the aroma of beef to order carne asada tacos. Soon after, you are approached by a lanky waiter who takes your order then returns with your food not too long after.

    A hypocrite is defined as a person who pretends to have virtues, morals, religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess; especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs. Jefferson in some ways could be categorized as a hypocrite. He evangelized liberty and freedom for all, yet did not grant this freedom to his slaves. Liberty is defined as freedom from arbitrary or despotic government or control. Africans, hispanics, and other minorities were enslaved and treated as property rather than people. This mentality plagued nations for centuries; so much so, that owning slaves was a social standard that demonstrated a person’s ranking and affluence. Due to this social standard, it is in no way surprising that…

    I exercise on a regular basis and I try to watch the foods I eat. One only key changes I have made to meet the recommendations from the tracker is to take vitamin supplements. I have started doing this to make sure that my body is receiving all of the vitamins it needs on a daily basis. Even though I already have a pretty good nutrition and exercise plan, there are a few goals I have to assist me in optimizing my good health. One nutritional goal is to increase my water intake. I typically drink water while at work but I often drink soda while at home. In order to reach this goal I will have to stop purchasing soda at the grocery store and replace it with low calorie, low sugar drinks. By not having soda conveniently in my home, I will be more likely to drink healthier options such as water. My second nutritional goal is to track the foods I eat. Tracking the food I consume will help to make sure that I am getting the proper amount of fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy. To meet this goal I will begin to write down everything I eat throughout the day. I have some physical exercise goals as well. One physical exercise goal is to become more active on a regular basis. I currently workout three days a week and I would like to increase that to at least five days a week. Another physical exercise goal I have for myself is to increase…

    My short-term goal is to decrease my waistline from 38 to 36. My long-term goal is to lose 50 pounds in one year and lower my body mass index from 32.7 to 24.9. I plan to accomplish these goals by starting a daily exercise program, of 30 minutes of cardio, weights, and core workouts. These workouts are similar to two workout programs offered at my job every week. One workout is circuit training, which is a combination of high-intensity aerobic and resistance training, which targets fat loss, muscle building and heart-lung fitness. Because my schedule is very tight, the best time to work out is when I get home from work. The other is boot camp workout, which includes calisthenics, weight training, cardio, and core training, moving from one exercise to the next with no rest in…

    According to the text, descriptive research is defined as a type of method in which a researcher or public official closely observes someone. With the data collected, they can then describe what is being observed without interrupting how the person is behaving. In relation to the topic of school shootings, the researcher would have to take into consideration many different aspects. The time frame leading up to the crime and after is a very crucial point in the case. The researcher would have to find out the intent behind why the person decided to commit the crime. Also, did the individual have any serious mental health issues, family problems, a victim of bullying, or any type of discrimination.…

    While my current diet is not absolutely horrible, it is definitely not the kind of diet a student athlete should have to be at the top of their game. I have quite a few weaknesses in my diet that I plan to solve by either cutting certain foods outs or greatly limiting their intake. I was shocked to find out just how many of my calories come from fat and unsaturated fat. In many of my meals the percentage of calories from fat came pretty close to fifty percent which is completely unacceptable. The recommended amount is somewhere between twenty to thirty percent of my diet so I am pretty far from that amount which is not good at all. One more thing I found to be…

A lot of my friends go and work out mostly everyday and I always tell myself that I am going to but I never do. I have always wanted to make myself get on a routine and workout or eat healthy and lose weight.
