Using the information with the food pyramid on the above video, you will be creating a Personal Fitness Plan based on your food log and today's information, then you will turn your results into a PowerPoint presentation (a rubric will be provided). Today's activity allows you to be familiar with how to achieve a healthy lifestyle.
 * Introduction:**


 * Task #1 **

First, copy and paste http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=41446 into a web browser, and become familiar with the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and answer the following questions in a Microsoft Word document.

1) What are the 9 Guidelines?

2) Which guideline do you think is most important and why?

3) Did you follow all the guidelines? If not, which ones did you not follow?

4) How can you implement the guidelines that you currently do not follow into your everyday life?

Next, you will be creating a online food diary that you can keep track of online or via a Smartphone application. You will need to go to [|www.myfitnesspal.com], and create a Username and Password (anything you want, but something you will remember). Enter the necessary information (gender, age, weight, height, etc.). Now, using your Food Log from last week, add your foods for the last 3 days.
 * Task #2 **

Finally, create a goal using the information from your food diary. It can be anything that benefits a healthy lifestyle, but it must meet the S.M.A.R.T. goal; Specific, Measurable, Acceptable, Realistic, and Time-Specific. For example, “losing 10 pounds by next Friday,” is not measurable, realistic, or acceptable, but “Losing 5 pounds by October 31” meets the S.M.A.R.T. goal. For more information on S.M.A.R.T. goals, visit []
 * Task #3 **


 * Task #4 **

Now after you have reviewed the guidelines and answered the questions, created a food diary, and formulated a goal, make a 6-10 slide PowerPoint based on today’s work, and how you plan to adjust in the future. This PowerPoint will not be shared in front of the class, you will e-mail it to us and I will grade it accordingly to the rubric below.

 **Total: 75 points**

**Must be emailed before the start of class Friday, October 28.**
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This project stands out to previous and future assignments because it can serve as a “wake-up” call. By obtaining your results, you may find out things about your diet you have never known. The only way to obtain, or maintain a healthy lifestyle is to make good decisions. However, it helps when you are aware of your current factors that affect your lifestyle such as diet and amount of physical activity.
