You will be tracking your progress toward the goals in your contract by completing journal entries for four weeks, then analyzing your motivation, successes, and obstacles in the final week of the course.

My blood pressure readings came out to be 105/73 (mmHg) and lie in within the normal range of 120/80 (mmHg). I have not been diagnosed with hypertension and high blood pressure during my medical checkups and my blood pressure readings are indicative of normal systolic and diastolic blood pressure. My cholesterol levels are within normal range and I have not been diagnosed with Diabetes or Pre-Diabetes. Although I being overweight has me fearing of being at risk of diabetes and high cholesterol.
My weight is 162 lbs and my height is 5 ft 2 inches. My BMI is 28.5 and I lie in the overweight category as per my BMI scores. A BMI score of 30 or higher can be inferred as a person being obese. Obesity can significantly increase risk of diabetes, hypertension and development of heart problems in people.
I enjoy fast food such as Pizzas, Burgers and fries from popular fast food franchizes. I believe one of the reasons of I being overweight is my inability to control and sustain healthy daily calorie intake levels. I am trying to cut down on oily foods and want to focus on a balanced diet including fruits, vegetable and protiens while cutting down of consumption of processed foods.
I do not smoke or consume alcohol in my daily life. I am also extra careful of staying away from use of such substances since I am pregnant with my second child. Smoking and consumption of alcohol is not good for the health of the development of the child in the womb.
I believe I am a happy and positive person. My busy work schedule along with taking care of my first child and being pregnant with my second child leaves me with no time and energy to commit to a daily exercise schedule. I have gorwn overweight in current years which has me worried of developing diabetes and relaed health conditions.

Activity/Exercise
My daily routine includes working full hours on my job, taking care of my first child and household. I have been unable to consistently follow a physical exercise regimen due to constraints of time. I have recently become pregnant with my second child and this has brought added physical constraints on my choices of physical activity.

Your goals should be written in SMART goal format, meaning they should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. Please go to this website for more detailed information on SMART goal format: Smart Goal Format article
Identify one goal to work toward during this course, knowing that you will be journaling about your progress in your journaling assignment, four times a week for four weeks.
An example of a goal that is NOT in SMART goal format is: I will walk more often.
An example of a properly formatted SMART goal is: I, (student name), agree to walk for 30 minutes, four times a week (goals can be daily but need to be for at least 4x per week since you will be journaling on the goal 4x a week) by 8/3/20. (The date inserted here should be the Saturday of Module 4 for your course.)
Your SMART goal:
1. I, [Name] agree to
by [date: [Saturday of Module 4]
2. I will use the following tools to monitor my progress:
The weekly assignment Journal and (at least one other tool)-
[chart, graph, scales, etc., as appropriate for your goal]
3. To reach my final goal I have devised the following schedule of goals and rewards [Need two mini-goals and your final goal (as written above in #1) and also list rewards for all. Be sure that your mini goals match your final goal, meaning they are in alignment with and will help you achieve your final goal. As in the example goal of

Walk 30 minutes a day and stick to 2000 calorie intake of balanced diet (including fruits, grains, protiens,low-fat dairy products) and 8 cups a day of water intake for the next 30 days. I will lose 0.5-0.6 lbs of weight every week by following this regimen.
Saturday, Module 4 of your course 7/29/2023

Example of how your Final Goal should be written/formatted in the Final Goal box above: I, (student name), agree to walk for 30 minutes, four times a week (goals can be daily but need to be for at least 4x per week since you will be journaling on the goal 4x a week) by 8/3/20.

4. I am currently in the __Action Stage__________________ Stage of Change (Must be a stage of change from the six stages of change in the article read this week) because:
Action Stage I believe that I am in a preparation stage, as I have realized it clearly that my current life
choices have pushed me towards being overweight. If I continue living life as I have been
doing in the past, it can lead me toward developing hypertension, diabetes and heart
related health problems. I have learnt from my previous failed attempts that my current

overweight condition can be attributed to unhealthy diet preferences and inability to
maintain a consistent exercise regimen.
Since I am pregnant with my second child, It affectively takes away drastic weight loss
strategies involving exercises of high intensity and diets specifically designed for
weightloss. It is of sole importance for me to prioritize the health and well-being of the
developing baby. However, I have decided to implement a daily 2000 calories intake
consisting of a balanced diet regimen including fruits, grains, protiens,low-fat dairy
products and optimal hydration intake of 8 cups a day. Also, I will inculcate a 30 minutes
walk everyday for the next 60 days and plan to continue it as a daily routine afterwards.
Weight loss depends on various factors, including a person's current weight, metabolism,
activity level, and overall lifestyle. This regimen is expected to yield on average a weight
loss of 0.5-0.6 lbs per week and also provides me with an active lifestyle which is
beneficial for the my health as well as the development of my child during pregnancy.
