Senior Project, The Holiday

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.   What did you over the break with your senior project?
Over my break I have worked with my weights in order to start on a strength training routine, I have also included a nightly stretching routine and a daily cardio routine. It's really fun to see how the 3 work together to give me more endurance as well as making me feel better about myself than I usually do around the holiday season. All the sweets can get to you but I decided to go into the holiday parties with a certain state of mind, "No cakes, cookies, donuts or ice cream of any kind" This allows a little wiggle room for pie, or maybe some candy although I just don't feel the urge to reach for it.



2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why?  What was the source of what you learned?
I learned that, personally, it is much easier for me to say NO to certain foods rather than for me to say ONLY IN MODERATION. I just can't do moderation, either I eat it or I don't and knowing this about myself has helped me keep myself in check. The source of what I learned was my own personal experience as well as constant trial and error.






3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
I would definitively speak to a personal trainer, someone who really knows what they are doing when setting aside a workout plan for their clients. In this new year I am determined to find a gym that fits me and my lifestyle, there I hope to find a trainer who takes their health and career seriously. I won't hire them for my own personal benefit because what is the fun in that, I'd rather do my own research and practice it myself, but I will interview the folks around the gym to get a different perspective on the different ways they see young females loose body fat.
