This week we will be looking at creating a healthy eating and exercise journal where we will record our eating habits and physical activity resumes. Everyone will be given a 10,000 STEPS pedometer and will record the steps undertaken each day in a log by registering as a 10,000 STEPS member on the http://www.10000steps.org.au/ website. After joining the program you will need to post your 10,000 STEPS URL to your blog. To get an example of what your steps log might look like, follow this link http://www.10000steps.org.au/my-steplog/daily-steps/">10,000 To effectively record your eating habits and exercise resumes you will need to create a spreadsheet.This spreadsheet needs to include the following;
Exercise:- A title
- The days of the week
- Name of activity undertaken
- Total time spent doing activity
Eating habits:
- A title
- The days of the week
- Whether the food you ate was healthy or unhealthy
An example of this is below:
Breakfast | Food/drink | H | Un | Lunch | Food/drink | H | Un |
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Total | Banana | ü | Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Total | Chocolate muffin | ü | ||
Keep in mind that this spreadsheet will be used in your overall assessment task!
Step 1: Register to become a 10,000 STEPS member.
Step 2: Post your 10,000 STEPS log to your blog.
Step 3: Create a Healthy Eating and Exercise Journal through a spreadsheet
Step 4: Post your Journal to your blog
Step 5: From your log and journal reflect on whether you believe you are attaining a healthy lifestyle. This is just a short statement you may like to display this in a table using the following headings
What I like about my eating habits
What I would like to improve on
I think I am/am not attaining a healthy lifestyle because....
Step 6: Begin to create your assessment task. Brainstorm ideas on what you would like to put in the final piece. Please refer to Assessment Task as a reminder.
