Instructions for Week's Postings (and I need the ppt file ASAP!)

Hi folks,

Most of what we saw today was quite well thought out and ready to go. Would you please email me the .ppt file so that I can go through it in more detail and get a shopping list together for a trip to the grocery store?

Here's what I'd like you all to do:

Create a post for each day, Wednesday through the following Tuesday. This post should have a description of what each meal needs to be (along with anything taken in, in-between the meals), and a detailed description of what the planned exercise is, who we'll be meeting with, where and when. Remember your participation counts, and it's important that you pull your weight for the program to succeed. There are two workout sessions for me that you don't have to be present for: this Thursday's track workout (we typically alternate Thursday and Fridays for track workouts, and this week it's on Thursday), Saturday's morning training ride. That leaves workout sessions on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday that need to be staffed/supervised for me, and for Mrs. C's workout sessions, there are five sessions that need to be staffed/supervised.

Watch your email and the blog at least once each day for updates and suggestions for improvement to the plan.

After each day, check to see how you did. Consider the caloric expenditures, intake, and nutrient levels.

I noticed there were no vitamins specified, so you'll need to very carefully monitor the nutrients in FitDay for both of us to see that those levels are at least 100% RDA.

I also noted there was no leg strength training on my plan, and that should be more clearly indicated.

Create a presentation summarizing the work of the group for the week. There should be only one presentation to which all the students contribute. There were some students today who were -- ahem -- a bit unprepared to present, and it showed. Others were well-prepared -- and it showed as well. Expect to be called on individually to deliver part's of the presentation and defend your work more rigorously than this week.

On next Monday after you present your findings and your plan for each of us for the following week, I'll distribute a research paper for you to analyze. This will be your first research paper for the class. I'll distribute instructions later. It will be due the following Monday.
