At least an hour lifting weights and 2 hours cardio right now to get the weight down(10 lbs). When the shot is working. Had 4 this years and need one now.

Nursing Evaluation Assignment
Preliminary Information
I am doing this case study on myself. I did the assessment and triage on athletic Nutrition questionnaire on myself. My health problem include levoscoliosis centered at L3, an anterolisthesis at L3-4, minimal retrolisthesis at L4-5, and bulging disc at T12-L1. Regarding bad back, it pinches so bad and it hurts my left calf to walk. My nutrition habits are normal; I say a nine on the form. I am fine controlling my appetite, which allows me only to indulge when necessary. Moreover, I am aware of the foods I eat as I am cognizant of food portioning and levels that are ideal for fitness. My goals are to increase muscle mass and lose a few more pounds. My levoscoliosis, anterolisthesis, minimal retrolisthesis, and bulging disc affect my workout routine as they cause a bad back that hurts my left calf when walking. However, with some help regarding nutrition and fitness, all of my goals can be achieved.
Client Level
I would classify myself as being at level 3 category mainly due to my awareness of proper nutrition intake regarding risks and benefits. Moreover, despite my health concerns, I am committed to routine workouts. Level three is challenging to maintain as one tries to make adjustments while getting better. As such, I feel that it would be ideal to find a coach who will help me optimize my fitness and nutritional engagements instead of doing it alone as I can harm myself while trying to maximize outcomes.
Limiting factors
The identified health concern consisting of levoscoliosis centered at L3, an anterolisthesis at L3-4, minimal retrolisthesis at L4-5, bulging disc at T12-L1, and bad back are the limiting factors. Therefore, a routine check-up with my physician is recommended, especially if anything out of the ordinary happens.
Behavioral and outcome goals.
The outcome goals comprise losing a few pounds while also ensuring that my micronutrient level goes up. The approach will be realized by having behavioral goals such as increased consumption of vegetables and fruits while maintaining a proper sleep of about 7 to 8 hours each day
Nutritional plan
The recommended nutritional plan will look like;
Breakfast
- Oatmeal: one serving
- Eggs: one serving
- One banana
First Snack
- Water: 8 oz.
Lunch
- Portioned meat salad
- Water: 8z
- Apple: one
- Protein Shake
Second Snack
- Water: 8 oz.
- Rice cake
Supper
- Rice: One serving
- Broccoli: one serving
- Chicken: one serving
- Salad: one serving
- Water: 8 oz.
Assessments to Record
I will record both the nutritional and fitness assessments as a means of creating a future reference. However, I will focus on the initial health recordings and my food logs. The initial records will be useful in comparing any health changes, while the food logs will help develop a statement regarding the impact of food intake on health results.
What to discuss with physician and appointment scheduling
I need to make bi-weekly appointments with my physician to discuss how I manage my health plans and my adherence to the nutrition plan. Principally, the bad back issue should come up often as I look for solutions from the physician. Moreover, I would seek to improve my accountability levels by discussing the value of a fitness and nutrition routine with the physician.
A plan of action for a Plateau
Regarding a plateau, I recommend a change of diet due to specific fitness needs. However, I feel that a plateau would not be ideal at the moment as I prefer observing a change in routine to help my body avoid any halts associated with a plateau as it remains confused (Buckworth, 2017).
Plan for Switching Goals
If I decide to switch goals, it will be ideal to develop another nutritional plan to help implement a new routine. The training routine will also change from six times a week to a suitable frequency based on the newly identified goals.
