Topic #3: Reaching your goals

Time to do a little research. In your first topic post, you shared a goal(s) that you would like to achieve with your health. I want you to research a diet and/or exercise program that would help you reach this goal. Once you find the website that you feel will work for you, I want you to cite this website in Noodle Tools and create an annotation. Once you create the citiation, copy and paste your findings in a reply to this topic. Good luck!

    Weight Through Exercise and Staying Active." Obesity Focused. 2008.
    Opposing Viewpoints In Context. Web. 22 Apr. 2013 "Staying Active Is Key
    to Losing Weight" provides you with information about healthy eating and
    diet. It says that you need to stay active, and staying active is the key
    to losing weight. When most people think of staying active, they think
    about an intense workout at the gym every day. But, that is not the case.
    You can workout daily, but trying to do too much will leave you exhausted;
    then, people will result in stop going to the gym. So, start off lightly,
    and work your way up. This will help me with my goal of maintaining a 2,000 calories per day because I usually go over so I need to stay active so I can lose that extra weight that I gained after going over my calorie intake.

    healthy choices and what can influence you to make those choices. Our
    choices are affected by our environment and people around us. Targeting
    your automatic behaviors and trying to correct them can be a good way to
    help make healthier choices. Our behavior is affected by our self concious
    thinking, which causes us to make unhealthy choices without thinking about
    it.
