From this project I plan to learn how to become healthier. Also, aware my family of their health risks and suggest a healthier route. I am willing to make change where it may be needed. I believe if you also do what you did you will always get what you got. So, making a change will brace me for a better and longer future. A long term goal I aspire to achieve is become more physically active by doing thirty minutes of exercise. One short term goal of mine is to learn something I can teach my family. Another is to use my three day meal plan to learn more about how calories add up.

Thinking about having a healthy diet and exercising is something new to be. Learning the things I am learning is causing me to think more about how much is needed and not having going overboard. I do now think making a diet plan is right and much needed. It is needed because heart disease is the #1 killer in America and I don't want to be one of those who die from it. I also don't want anyone in my family to be. So, exercising and eating better foods has become something I think is much needed in my household and to be thought about across the country. The food that is served to us in the cafeteria on daily bases is the same, there really isn't much choice. Having a more options would be nice, but what is served is pretty healthy for the most part. We have salads, chicken sandwiches, chicken nuggets, and baked chips we can buy. The vending machine is another story. There is more junk than healthy snacks. It doesn't much bother me because you have the option of walking past it or buying something. Buying a granola bar or Hot Crunch and Curls is up to you. A slight change though wouldn't be that bad. I suggest 100% fruit juices in the vending machines or baked chips like we have in the cafeteria in there along with the other foods already there.
