week 5

I've finally convinced Andrew to start on his work out although he is barely starting today. This week I didn't really have any time to talk with my group about what we are going to do this week So I suppose this week I'm going to focus on my own fitness. I believe my partner Alex will also like this idea of doing this in like a group sort of thing. So I supposed we could start by writing down what we eat. Also I got this new black bored so I can create a calender where I write down what I eat and write down the work outs I plan to do that day so I can keep track of what I do or what we do in a group. Since my parents never supported me on getting a gym membership due to them not believing I can be organized or actually due it I guess I'll have to start out by doing my workouts on my own with no machinery. ...I wonder what the rest of my group is doing.. : /  May look something like this.

Week 4

This week I was having a conversation with one of my group members Andrew and he was showing me pictures of how he wants his body to look like when hes older in a couple of years. As he showed me i noticed lots of the men in the pictures where really muscular too muscular for my taste, so I suggested not going that far and I think he agreed, or maybe he just "agreed" to get out of the conversation. Anyways as he showed me he mentioned that he didn't want to have any abs or to even work on abs, because" it takes to much time," but to me that means hes just lazy. Although he does work on his trapeziums, shoulders, biceps, forearms, chest and back legs. I don't know I'm not an expert but I am a girl and to me that seems weird to like have all of that and not have any abs or a little muscly tummy. I mean what if he does end up the way he wants to but has a big tummy with big boobs I don't know about but that's the way I see it. So for this week I will try to convince Andrew to work a little more on his abs for part of our 20% project. He will then be able to show off his results on our website. Just so you know I am not going to force him I mean who am I to tell him what to do with his body, but I know I can convince him. This is a picture of how he wants to look like.
P.S He chose this picture...I know kind of graphic but whatever to lazy to crop.

week 3

A few weeks ago me and my partner Nadia started this type of healthy diet and challenges, but the day we did a video mentioned in my last blog (week 2) and when she left, she left to go eat some burgers with some friends. Therefor, I was alone till last Friday and my other group member told me that she would like to do the diet thing with me, which made me feel like I wasn't alone again. Even though we haven even started sharing ideas or meals we will work on that this week. This week I will also have to edit the video of our short healthy recipes with the little we got recorded from our two cameras. Sadly I do have a lot to do this week especially with this class which includes: blogs, edit video, update website, 30's protects, etc.  Although I will try my best to finish everything with my best effort and at the right time.

Week 2

Last weeks project was a complete success!!! Everything went as planned everybody brought their ingredients for all the recipes. Surprisingly we had my house all to ourselves which was a great experience, because we didn't have to worry about being loud or making a mess in my moms kitchen. Andrew and Nadia did a really great job while they explained and performed the recipe. Although, we didn't have a forth member to record us as we where hoping to we had to take turns recording each other recording.Sadly in the end we weren't able to record our reactions, because fist of all one of my cameras ran out of battery and the other the memory was full. I still have to edit the video so I can post them on our website. We are also thinking about making an instagram so we can post easy recipes and short workouts.

week 1

This week I discussed with my group about what could we do with our project. We where worried that there might not be anything else we could do with our project. I thought about doing healthy recipes and meeting up with my group at my house so we can try out some recipes and take a video and record us making the recipe and our reaction with the results. We could each bring our own ingredients so it wont be too expensive and we can divide our effort. We will be inviting one of our friends so she could record us so all of our group members could be in the video. Although one of my group members wont be able to attend this video due to after school soccer practice that is sadly keeps her away from most of our meetings, but she does help us a lot . After we record our progress I will then edit the video and post it on our website.

week 8

A few weeks ago we interviewed one of our friends Kristy. She talked about how she dealt with her stress about school, family, and relationships. She also gives examples on what she does do avoid it. Once Alex downloads and send me the videos I will then edit them and also combine them with other people's interviews and then I will put them into our website. Today we got an idea on what to research about and do interviews on which is test anxiety. We got this idea from one of our group members, Andrew. He was telling us about how stressed out he was because his grade depended on that test. Therefore we are planning to do a little bit of research about that and also find out how to prevent it or help it, because if one person feels this way and wants help then maybe many other students may also.

Week 7

After getting our results form the students who have taken the survey, we where pleased to know that 14 people have volunteered to get interviewed. Although only a few responded to my email to clarify that they still want to do it, but for those who have replied to my email I asked them when they would be available. Though we are still going to follow Ms.Ruger's advice which is to stay patient and wait for these students to respond to my email. Today we interviewed Kristy and she answered a lot of questions about how she deals with stress from school work and how she deals with her relationships. After Alex sends me the video I will edit it and add multiple of people in one video, but I will also divide each video by the type of stress they talk about. Within these videos they will be giving teenagers advice on how to deal with all the type of stress and also give an example on how they deal with it themselves.

Here is a screenshot from the data we obtained from our survey.
