If I were to choose one improvement at the half way mark of this class, I would definitely have to say it would be from this past week – Motivational Skills –! In learning that all it takes is for me to say “I need and want this” and then ACTUALLY getting up and moving, has helped me take that giant step. What do I want to accomplish before this class is over – well that’s a lot easier said than done, for sure! I want to leave this class with the knowledge of keeping myself and others aware of how fast obesity is taking over, and how to overcome it. Motivational skills knowledge which will help in the future (which I feel is what most are lacking). This is (in my opinion) the key to our healthy lifestyle. Without the motivation, I do not see how you can go through life as I have witnessed myself. I have improved myself physically, mentally, and even emotionally since the start of this semester. I feel more confident about my choices of questions for mods, and I am learning from others. http://www.selfmotivationskills.com/ here is a website that I have read and enjoyed. I now “believe” motivation speakers in person or even reading articles on the web, which I never thought they would or even could change someone’s life, but here I am – Proof -! The skills will not only be helping me with my health, fitness, or even my diet, but it will also help me finish this class knowing “I will be able to complete each mod successfully, I will be able to learn what has been taught, and I will leave this class with the knowledge of being able to take care of my family and myself properly along with others down the road. When I started this mod, I was going to pick my question about over-the-counter meds, but when I sat there and read about motivation (very little section) it struck home. I knew that motivation is what I was lacking, of course it is not completely there yet, but working on it! I am improving more and more as the mods keep coming. I have learned a tremendous amount of information and I feel overwhelmed, but it is slowly adding up to a better me in the end. I know it will take time to understand everything I have learned so far, but keep it coming, so I may succeed!
This is a great video showing people who, if they didn't have the motivation they would not have become who they are or even were, today. I will be the best that I can be everyday and will not breakdown and lose all that I have learned.
2 words that I did not know before this mod:
1. Creatine - a natural substance in skeletal muscle tissue required for muscle contraction, which can also be purchased at as dietary supplement. I never knew that this was a dietary supplement even though I do know alot of vitamins and minerals that we have in our body may be purchased as a supplement when we are lacking.
2. Double blind - which is when neither the person receiving the drug nor the person administering the drug knows whether it is a placebo or the real drug. I often wondered how most of the tests done with medicines have been able to conclude that it works. I have doubs when it came to this due to thinking the people testing it were just stating it worked so the drug company would be able to get the profits from it being sold throughout the world.
