PWLP: Week Eleven - Lesson Six

Personal Evaluation

1. In what ways has lack of physical activity together with low caloric intake affected your past weight loss efforts?    Physical activity was usually always the thing that blew my diets. I exercised too much and I felt like I always had to "one-up" myself or go for an extra five minutes or five calories. I felt like I had to finish 30 min/day every day, and if I missed it one day, I was screwed for the rest of the week. Usually after feeling so frustrated and disappointed in myself, I'd just throw in the towel in general...

2. How do you feel about the awareness and understanding you have received today? Are you motivated to begin a regular exercise program? Why or why not?    Yes, today's lesson was very helpful. I feel like I need to be more serious about my exercising routine. At the moment, I'm too relaxed about it, and it's really not getting me anywhere. I really want to be exercising at least 5 days a week, if not more. I'm thinking it might be helpful for me to be doing an 'every other day' program, where I do cardio exercises M, W, F, Su, and pilates/strengthening T, Th, and Sa. I really want to be active and healthy - I want to exercise my heart and muscles, and feel the desire to exercise instead of making it a chore.
