As the EAT Program is winding down, describe the extent of your personal health goal and what strategies you will use for yourself to maintain the role of consuming healthily in the ongoing future.
The EAT program is coming to an end and its been a great experience. I've learnt a lot, not just about food but about being a leader and goal setting. Everything I've learnt from the EAT program is something that will stick with me. Before the EAT program, I drank very minimal water so the goal I set for myself was to drink 4 cups of water a day. Overtime I accomplished my goal and I plan to continue drinking 4 cups of water a day. I think I will set a new goal for myself which is to eat at least 3 fruits and vegetables a day.

I finished my last session of EAT earlier this week. We made crepes and ice cream. The crepes were served with pineapple, which the older kids seem to have fun cutting. One of the kids actually participated in preparing the snack this session, which was really great to see. The ice cream turned out salty but it was okay because the kids loved the crepes. Some of them even said the crepes were their favourite thing we made in EAT. All but one kid had a second crepe. Overall it was a great last session.
How has your healthy goal setting changed or influenced you in how you plan or lead each EAT session?My goal is to drink at least 4 cups of water a day. My goal setting hasn't had a major influence on how I plan or lead each EAT session. I feel that the kids actually help me accomplish my goal. They are constantly drinking water and it just reminds me of what my goal is.
Share 1 EAT learning experience that has made a lasting impact on you.Over the past couple of weeks I've learned a lot from EAT, but if I had to choose one thing it would be my leadership skills. Working with the participants has taught me how to cope with situations, how to run activities, and how to make the EAT program a fun places for the participants to learn new food skills. Gaining and strengthening these skills will be very beneficially for me in the future.
It has been a while since I last blogged about my goal so I decided to do a little update. It's February 18th today and it's past my goal date of January. I have realized over the past two months that I have reached my goal by drinking 4 cups of water a day, if not more. I've been refilling my water atleast once a day and I come home with it all empty unlike before when I would come home with it half full.
Come up with a strategy to discover whether or not any food preparation techniques you've introduced to the kids have been transferred in a participant's life.A strategy could be to ask the participants questions that could show whether they have or have not been using the techniques outside of the program. For examples I could ask the kids, "Do you help your parents cook at home?" "Have you made any of the recipes at home?"
During our first session we made spinach dip and when we were draining the spinach, the kids seemed to be grossed out by it. One kid even said "ewww, I hate spinach." but when they tired the dip they all really liked it and went back for seconds. The kid that said "ewww," even licked his plate.
It's winter break and we haven't had practice this week. During this week, I have noticed that I only drink about 3 cups of water per day, not reaching my goal of 4. I got a new cup the other day, so hopefully that motivates me to drink more water.
Reaching my goal is very easy right now because it's basketball season. I drink about 2 or 3 bottles of water per game/practice, so I drink about 5 cups of water per day.
My goal is to drink atleast 4 cups of water per day, and I want to achieve this goal by January. I will try to achieve my goal by drinking 1 glass of water in the morning, 1 between breakfast and lunch, 1 during pe and/or basketball, and 1 cup before i go to bed.
