weeek 13

Overall on my presentation I felt like I did pretty well considering Abril went through my slides pretty fast. I felt like she didnent  want me to have a good grade because shes mad at herself and I feel like that's completely wong. she dident talk to me about what was wrong and now shes taking he anger out on me. Since shes very passive aggressive Im not surprise one bit. I did my best on the presentation even when the odds were against me and I felt like I did well. I learned a valuable lesson in this project which is working alone can be so much better than a group poject. Next time ill be a project by myself instead of a group, I think I get a lot more done when I work alone.




 

week 12

This week for my 20 percent project I met up with my group in the library and talked about how we are going to present our project. we came up an idea of presenting it on a prezi using alex prezi account. All went well and we decided what each of us were going to say and in no time our project was finished.

week 11

this week for my project me and my group members will finish some finishing touches such as editing website and making our video flow and discuss how we want to present our project to he class. we've decided to do a power point but still have to discus how we want to arrange the slided and decide who says what when it comes to our part.

  

week 10

This week for my twenty percent project me Abril and Nadia were discussing how we want to present our project to the class. we decided to do a power point slide show and talk about why we chose health and fitness as out topic. Also I finished editing a video we recorded for our healthy recipe. It use to be over 7 minuets but now its about 3-4 Minuets. Since everyone schedule is so busy we will talk more about how we want to present and what we should include in our presentation soon and make everything smooth and flow together.

week 9

This week has been a very stressful and depressing week for me because all the things happening in my life. I managed to talk to teachers about problems im having but no one was able to help.. As of right now there's a war inside me. Anway this week I talked to Abril about our video but since we still need voice over recording. Abril said she will let me borrow her usb for the voice over on Monday and hopefully I wont get screw it up because im not so good with technology... after I do that ill tell her I got it voice over and well talk from there on.

week 8

This week for my twenty percent project I will be sending progress pictures to Abril, either today or over the weekend. I don't know when she will put it in our project at the end or what she wants to do with it. since she's sick right now I don't want to bother her. I will send her two pictures, one when I was skinny and one when I was pretty big. Hopefully this will make people realize it doesn't matter where you start. everybody can do it and achieve their goals or dreams since were trying to improve someone's life or make an impact on them to live a better healthier life. After I send her the pictures she will let me know what she wants to do with it. Also right now im working out with my friend and currently he wants to lose weight and look tone before senior year. Since he's my best friend im educating him and making sure he eats healthy and clean. so far ever since we've started getting serious with losing weight both of us lost five pounds or more in just 2 and a half week. Imagine after 3 months. I'll make sure he has a good transformation and when he looks back he'll thank me for making him fit and it was something he never thought he could do. I will also ask him if he can send me pictures of his before and right now to see the progress he has made. This picture is always motivating for me so why not put it. my picture will be similar to this.

week 7

This week for my 20 percent project i've been focusing on my diet more strictly for this project. Since its spring break I can really hit the cardio machine and loose some fat and focus on my diet and not cheat out on anything bad such as pizza and junk food. Abril will also finish putting voice over into or video on the parts we don't say anything so it will be completely done.

week 6

This week for our twenty percent project me and Nadia went to Abril's house to edit videos of us cooking and making food. We used windows movie maker and looked at all or clips of fail recording and good recording. we had a great time looking at how our facial expressions on the video and what we said as first impressions on the food. we took turn editing and talked about our thoughts on some clips because some were very similar and we had to decide which one we wanted to use and flow better on our video. At the end of the day it was a we had a great time and finished editing our video.

week 5

This week for my 20% project me and one of my group members Abril discussed about getting me in better condition and shape. She suggested for me to do more abdominal exercise. I really don't like working on them due to the fact they are so boring and you have to be at a low body fat for your abs to even show. right now im about 15 percent body fat and for abs to show you have to be at least 12 percent. Three percent doesn't seem much but I assure you its pretty hard and it comes down to nutrition and eating less calorie vs calorie out. Since I promised her I will do these abdominal exercises I shall do them more often and develop a better core. I will be bettering myself and one I loose the body fat there will be abs and my hard work will pay off.

week 4

As the days get closer and closer it's almost June and that means presenting our project in front of the class. I cant believe it's almost time to present our project, time goes by so fast when your working hard. Since our group has a whole bunch of information already I feel like its one of my part to get in tip top shape. I will be focusing more of hypertrophy training instead of strength training to feel it in the muscles much better. I stopped doing hypertrophy training because I wanted to lift more weight than what I needed because I was very weak but, that was about a year ago. After jumping back on hypertrophy training for about 2 weeks now I feel it much better in my muscles and starting to enjoy it a lot more than strength training. I wish I stuck to this type of training and not as much strength training but I didn't know much when first started... I'm much more knowledgeable now and making wiser decisions when it comes to training. Since my group might want recordings in our project its better to start early and have time to prepare rather than last Minuit. 

week 3

This week for my 20% project me and my group members are discussing what to do on our videos we recorded two weeks ago at Abril's house. Since everyone is very busy this week with all the homework and school we decided to push the editing back next week and have a better discussion on what to do with our video and plan ahead. The end of the year is coming to a close and our group has done a lot on our project. Hopefully our edited video will be all in proportion and not all choppy or hard to follow along. I felt like we recorded many times when we messed up so it would be fine but when showing it to the audience they might get a different perception.    

week 2

This week our project was exactly what we planned. Me and Nadia got all types of fruits to juice we went to Abril's house on Friday and began recording and making food. We took a long time preparing because there was so much cutting and setting up but, in the end it was worth it. we didn't just learn how to cook but we also had a fun time with trial and error and seeing our mistakes while our group was there supporting us through the process. we also took recording to make sure the audience could see what we made and see how our group could collaborate well together. The final product had spinach, pineapples , apples, chicken and egg roll wrap around it. The egg roll wrap made is crispy an bendable. you could either eat it with a fork or roll it up like a burrito. We had mangos on another place and fruits juiced up in a cup. The other pictures will be shown in June when our project is complete.

20% project week one 2nd semester 1st blog

This week for our 20% project we are gathering together and discussing what we could do to make our project better. we wanted to do something different but dident't know what but than Abril came up with an idea if cooking easy recipes for teens at her house. this will not only help teenagers but it'll help us in our cooking skils also.

Abril is going to ask her mom to see if she's ok with us comming than well all get something to bring to her house and well be doing recipies for teens, Hopefully this will happen on February 8, 2014.
