You have been training hard this semester and I have seen some impressive gains in strength and in quality of movement. For the remainder of the semester our blogs will focus on what is probably the most important factor of all for lasting health. Your nutrition. It is a tough subject, because your body is a miraculous machine that can and will run on just about anything you give it for a while. The effects of poor nutrition often take years to reveal themselves in terms of chronic health problems, but recent research suggests that these problems are showing up earlier and earlier in peoples lives. Luckily, small changes to your eating now can make big differences , not only on your performance in workouts, but also in your overall health.
In order to look at our nutrition we need to know where we are right now. For this weeks blog I want you to think about the last three meals you have had to eat. They can be snacks, or real meals. Write down everything that you have put into your mouth for your past three eating sessions, be sure to include drinks, that pack of skittles, the piece of pizza after school, everything.

Period 2 Weight Training Grade Yourself
The first quarter is in the books and grades have been posted and your grade reflects how well you were able to follow the guidelines I put forth not necessarily how hard you have worked in the class. I have said before, one of the reasons I like fitness and weight training specifically so much is that what you get out of it is directly proportional to what you put into it. Many of you have worked very hard this past quarter and your results are showing that. Some of you have not worked quite as hard. We do not grade on effort in weight training but for this weeks blog I want you to take an honest look at you level of effort int he class for the past quarter and give yourself a grade. I will not post these comments. I just want you to take a moment to reflect on what you are putting into the class and in turn what you are getting out of the class.
The grade scale is as follows:
A - Works hard daily, ready to work out and puts full effort into all activities practices form on lifts and goes after weak areas.
B - Works hard consistently but not everyday, put full effort into what you do but will take days off here and there
C - Have to be reminded to get back to work, have a hard time getting to class on time does not follow class activities, does not practice form on lifts
D - Does not even change for class activities, not a part of the community of the class, does their own thing.
E - Luckily we do not have any of these. I would work hard to get you out of the class if we did.
Let me know what grade you would give yourself and back it up with examples, as well as ways you could improve heading into 2nd quarter.
