1.participation
In the participation category I have always shown up maybe missing one or two classes if I was away. I always have gym strip with me. I usually have extra as well. I usually like to get into the games. I learned that in this year I definitely tried a lot harder. I got more involved in the games and tried a lot harder on fitness days. Of course you're going to experience off days where its had to try your best and sometimes it gets in the way or getting better at something. I try very hard at games like speed ball where you have to run and get the balls because its something I enjoyed doing. I enjoyed almost everything we did this year even if they were brutal, they were just so we could find our comfort zone in our discomfort zone.
2.Social responsibility and contribution
When we set up a a game I do like to help with getting the equipments and to set up games. Usually when we set up games and we have members that we don't know we play little games to get to know everyone. We yell our names to let them know who we are. During games and fitness days I like to motivate people and til them how good they did while they were doing it. Even if we're on opposite teams. On fitness days I write what happened and what I experience. I stay true to what happened on those days because I can look back on them and see how much of a change I made within myself.
3.Healthy living
I worked hard on this part. I usually did 40 minute to hour long work outs and went for walks. I also ate way more fruits and drank way more water them before. My goal with all of this is to do better at anything than before. I used to not last running for long periods of time and her I am running longer than I thought I could have. At the end of the day with all the process that I've done I can be proud of it. I don't think I have too many posts of healthy living at home because I do the same things everyday. For school I started packing healthier lunches with more vegetables and having more nutritious breakfasts. I carried a water bottle anywhere I went outside of school. I had though during the workouts i did that it was just getting easier and the workouts didn't impact me as they did before. I actually was watching a show when a man had said when you work out some times you get used to it. That you need to intensify the workouts. Once I started doing this I was awaiting more and feeling more of a burn. Some days I would focus on things like stretching. And this was all so I could better my self.
4.Digital portfolio and reflective skills
On my blog I started of the year without posting as much as I should have. But I was able to gradually build up on it. I have pictures and I try to include what happened on those days. I had set goals on what I had wanted to archive and sometime I couldn't reach them but I tried. I knew I wasn't going to do perfect on my blog but I put more effort than I did pervious years. I included pictures and summeries of what I did after school. Sometimes people would comment on my blog telling me I should include more photos or I did a good job or things that would help me improve. I started adding more pictures and taking advice from people. They would say things like take it easy but not too easy. They had encouraged me to better myself. When I was commenting on other peoples blogs I was impressed at how well they were able to organize it and include all kinds of things. It made me want to start including things I though wouldn't matter like 10 minute walk. But it did for me because I was able to see that I put in effort to someone different then that past me. I have about a little over thirty posts on my blog and those are things I've done over the year that impress me. I can look back and be motivated to try and beat thoses scores.
I think for my percentage I would chose about 84%. I think so since I did try so much harder this year. I feel strong and I feel better than o have ever. I set a goal at the beginning of the year to find happiness in discomfort. To smile through the pain and to feel it the next day. When I'm done with something I usually like to say it wasnt that bad and its not. If you work hard and put effort and time you'll get results you might have never thought you would see. And that's what I discovered about my self. Mr. Neuf always said to be comfortable with being uncomfortable and that's something I agree because that can some many ways. It about stepping out and aiming higher than you thought you could.
Such an awesome final. You last paragraph is so much of what I would say. I was really proud of how much harder you learned how to push yourself. I like that you have decided to change up and intensify your home routine as that is key. The harder you work the stronger your body gets and then (ironically) you need to work even harder to push it to new levels again. So keep the attitude of balance. Sometimes push hard others go for nice walks with the dog for mental health. The other piece you haven't focused much on but it is critical for you is diet. I don't mean "go on a diet" I mean learn about food content and how to balance your intake and output to maximize your efforts. Learning about nutrient dense foods will maximize your energy and benefit and limit the negative impact of empty calories. As someone who doesn't have organized activity as part of her routine your growing knowledge of how to eat portioned and balanced meals may impact you even more than fitness in the long run. I hope you have signed up for Get Fit but if you didn't I hope you keep up the momentum and learning you started in our class. Have a great summer.
