week 15

So i reached my goal again this past week. I mostly ate breakfast and quick lunches like sandwiches and fruit. Someone who is inspirational to me in achieving this change is my mother. She is always supportive of me and I strive to live healthily like she does. She is also in great shape and works out so my new goal is also to start working out so that I can catch up with my mom :) I really feel good that I achieved my goal these past few weeks. I also feel healthier and I lost 3 pounds since the beginning of the semester.

A helpful site that i found useful was CDC.gov and webmd.com. The CDC gives several different tips on how to live healthy and stay active.

So we all know that diabetes is a co-morbidity to obesity. And like obesity, Diabetes type II is preventable. Diabetes prevalence rates are on the rise. In CA, there approximately 8% of adults were diabetic in 2008 (cdc.gov). According to the CDC, we can prevent diabetes type II by eating healthy and staying active.
