Blog 14: Independent Component 1

Literal:

• I, Natalie Najera, affirm that I have completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
• Erin Apregan helped me train: 805-807-3319
• IC log
• I completed surpassing my goal weight #1 of 190 pounds. I am now 185 and still working hard to get to where I want to be.

Interpretive:

• I don't have any photos of me working out or eating right but I do have a before and after picture.
• The first picture also has some examples of my old diet: Drink (probably rasberry iced tea and candy)

Applied:

• I learned that eating right can really affect your weight loss, because that is MOSTLY what I have been doing. I substituted all of my unhealthy habits for healthier options and that has made all the difference. I cut out a lot of sugars, sodium, fats, and processed foods out of my diet and all of those factors have contributed greatly to my weight loss.
