Self-monitoring is an important component of successful behavior change and can provide self-awareness about lifestyle patterns regarding diet, exercise, and weight management. One of the most common approaches to self-monitoring is to record food intake and track physical activity. Recent technology allows monitoring to be done using online and/or mobile tools. Fitness and nutrition apps can increase your motivation, hold you accountable to your personal weight, sleep, activity, and nutrition goals, and allow you to connect with a support network. The three apps below are all free to use and can get you started on a path of self- monitoring and personal awareness! Tracker What is the website? Smartphone App? What does it track? Other features?

- 5. KANC Free Monthly Newsletter July 2016 J u l y 2 0 1 6 Nutrition Connection - The latest news and events from the Kendall Reagan Nutrition Center at Colorado State University Stay Healthy On Your Vacation! Summer is the time for enjoying more sun and fun with friends and family. For many people, vacation can also be a challenging time to stay healthy. Social gatherings and trips are often centered on not-so-healthful food options. However, just as the summer brings more options when it comes to activities and your wardrobe, there is also a great variety of fruits and vegetables that can be enjoyed in abundance. Melons, cherries, berries, cucumbers, corn, squash, and tomatoes are all in season to enjoy. Moderation, variety, and enjoying the summer’s bounty of fruits and vegetables are key to enjoying eating and staying healthy on vacation. Healthy Vacation Ideas Surf for restaurants Check out your hotel’s website. There is usually an “Area Guide” or “Area Information” page that will list local restaurants with links that will take you directly to them. You can then see which restaurant has more healthy options available. Nourish your body on the concourse More healthy foods are becoming available in airport terminals today. You can pick up fresh produce with either a side of hummus or unsweetened yogurt at most a la carts. Also, some shops even have salad bars, whole grain sandwiches, and healthful wraps available. Take the easy path for snacks Although some hotel rooms provide an urban kitchen and others still offer continental breakfast, many still do not. Stopping by the grocery store for quick snacks will save your wallet and provide nutrients throughout the day. Some fruit and vegetables do not require refrigeration, and instant oatmeal is an easy breakfast that only needs boiling water from the coffee pot. Splurge at the local farmers’ market By going to the local farmers’ market you can take in the culture and also the people of the community. It’s also a great way to embrace locally made soaps, wine, chocolate, cheese, sauces, jewelry and other unique products made with fresh ingredients or materials! Page 2 Nutrition Connection Three Tips to Staying Healthy on Your Vacation Local Fitness Friendly Getaways Greyrock Mountain, Near Belluve Located just 25 minutes from downtown Fort Collins. Round- trip length is 7.15 miles with a +1,883 net elevation difference from start to finish. Bring along your pup for motivation! Manitou Incline Trail, Colorado Springs One of the most popular tourist attractions in the Springs, the incline is one mile in length but covers a +2,000 evaluation during that distance. Leave your pups behind on this one, it gets steep! Hanging Lake, Glenwood Springs This lake looks as if it is clinging to the edge of the mountain- side and has two waterfalls! You can even walk behind one! Colorado Fourteeners Colorado is known for having some great options, even for beginners. Grays Peak, Torreys Peak, Quandary Peak and Mount Elbert are some awesome options. Be sure to prepare - there are many online resources to assist you. Keep active. We get it, it’s the first vacation to the coast you’ve taken in years and bringing your workout shoes was the last thing on your mind. You don’t need them! Settle for walking a large chunk of steps each day and go on a bike ride down the beach. Stay active with the family by swimming with the little ones and bonding over who can tread water the longest. Stay hydrated. A big mistake tourists make is being out in the sun without enough H2O. Drink water when you’re not savoring a Pina Colada. Try citrus-infused water. It’s festive, and adding citrus gives your drink vitamins that can be depleted by alcohol and sun rays. Choose more vegetables. At some restaurants, you can order vegetables in place of a second side; this is a great way to get vitamins, minerals and fiber. No fatigue urging you back to the hotel, more energy for fun activities! Kendall Anderson Nutrition Center is now Kendall Reagan Nutrition Center! We are pleased to announce our new name with the marriage of our donor, Danette Anderson, to Monty Reagan. Thank you to the Reagans as well as Pat and Larry Kendall, who support us in all that we do. Watch for our new logos and updated website coming soon!

Editor's Notes
- I was blessed with being able to do my supervised practice here and have to acknowledge my preceptor Mellissa Wdowik and also Colorado State University for accepting me with open arms. I also would like to thank the two other Dieticians that I was working under. They all provided me in depth information and also resources to use for my future.
- It is a pleasure to say that I completed each of my personal goals.
- Had the opportunity to help fine tune this newsletter and also find and test out the recipe. This was a great way to get to know what information KANC wanted to get out to the community.
- Got to create this newsletter with the help of another student who was doing her dietetic internship at the same time as me. The topic was my idea and also the cartoon This was a great way to connect to the community. It was also a great way to utilize finding trusted resources and expressing what I found through words.
- Had a class totaling of 18 people. I was in charge of teaching the class how to make Spring rolls. I also got to create talking points about what ingredients I was using and what nutrients each item contained. My favorite was the Jicama. I also had to create a price analysis on how much my recipe cost to buy at the local grocery store. Some of the other recipes that were taught in this class were Chicken Pad Thai, Thai Iced Tea and also a Peanut based dipping sauce for the Spring rolls. We arrived to the kitchen about 3 hours early and prepared every item for each couple. We also placed out needed utensils, plates and bowls. We would demo it and then help the couple complete their own. This was a very positive, growing experience for myself.
- Top picture is the Spring Rolls I created Bottom picture is a Jicama I helped create the Tips and Resources page
- This was a Housing Fair at a local income housing apartment. My job was to explain the importance of washing your hands as well as fruits and vegetables. I did this by using some glow in the dark powder and asked them to wash their hands normally I would then shine a black light onto their hands and give them some positive reinforcement. I utilized coloring visuals and puzzles. This experience was eye opening and also rewarding. It was also out of my element with how many different languages being spoken. I was able to adjust by using my hands and visuals more and by also doing my own demonstration first.
- Got to have my own table at the Farmers Market representing the Kendal Anderson Nutrition Center. This was fun because I got to decide on what visuals I wanted to bring. I found some coloring games and puzzles for children and also provided a Farmers Market fact sheet and also a sheet that explained when fruits and vegetables that are in season in Colorado. This opportunity allowed me to connect with the community and to also explain what KANC was all about. I was right next to CSU fitness center so it was awesome to be able to work side by side and offer great advice together.
- Every Tuesday evening I got to sit in on a Diabetes Prevention class with Shelby who is a Dietician at KANC. I would prepare her notes and also help her evaluate each participants progress. Above are the classes that I had the chance to help out with. I learned that Type 2 diabetes is on the rise and it is preventable and that one out of three American adults has prediabetes and most do not know it. Prediabetes raises your risk for heart disease and stroke, and many people with prediabetes develop type 2 diabetes within 3 years. The program supports lifestyle change interventions that targets improving diet, increasing physical activity and achieving moderate weight loss. The goal for each participant is to lose ≥5% of body weight by: Progressively reducing dietary intake of calories and fat through improved food choices Gradually increasing moderate physical activity (e.g., brisk walking) to ≥150 minutes per week Developing behavioral problem-solving and coping skills I also learned that to be eligible for referral to the diabetes prevention program? Patients must: Be at least 18 years old and Be overweight (Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥24*; ≥22 if Asian) and Have a blood test result in the prediabetes range within the past year: Hemoglobin A1C: 5.7---6.4% or Fasting plasma glucose: 100---125 mg/dL or Two-hour plasma glucose (after a 75 gm glucose load): 140---199 mg/dL or Be previously diagnosed with gestational diabetes and Have no previous diagnosis of diabetes This was a great opportunity that let me see more of a clinical way of Nutrition. I also was able to speak out during the class and share what I knew. It was scary to see just how real and prevalent Diabetes was in the community. I was able to see progress with some of the participants within the time I was there.
- This was a middle school girls camp that was offered at Colorado State University. There was a total of 28 girls. We had a total of 3 stations. Station 1: Was a recipe activity what one of the volunteers I was with was teaching. Station 2: Was my station on the right. I was teaching them the importance of having fiber in our diet and also how some foods get fiber taken out of them. I did a demonstration with orange juice, whole wheat bread and white bread. I would begin by passing around a slice of wheat bread and then white bread and would ask them what differences they could see/feel. I would then place the bread separately into some orange juice, the orange juice acted as our stomach acid. While the bread settled into the orange juice I did another activity on creating a MyPlate pocket booklet. This booklet was then used for the students to write or draw in their favorite foods within each food group. At a good pausing point I would direct their attention back to the fiber activity. I would ask for 2 volunteers and then would ask the rest of the girls to speak out about what they were witnessing. The end result that I wanted was for the white bread to break apart and for the whole bread to stay whole. Station 3: Was a balanced meal activity with visuals and daily percent’s of different nutrients. The top left picture is at the very beginning of the class. I was introducing them to the MyPlate visual and asking interactive questions about it. The picture behind me is for discussing about how to read a food label. I enjoyed having personal time with each group and found it refreshing with how much curiosity these girls had. Teaching this age group may be a path I take in my future.
- For this I got to tour the Food Bank and met with the Volunteering Director. I also got to do some volunteering which consisted of greeting each community member at the door and explaining where everything was located. This Food Bank offers the below resources: Food Share is one of the nation’s largest, client-choice, fresh food pantries with locations in Fort Collins and Loveland. Food Share distributes produce, bread, meat and dairy to more than 13,000 residents each month. Individuals qualify for Food Share based on residency and gross monthly income. Child Nutrition Programs: Kids Cafe, Kids Link and Backpack. Kids Cafe provides nutritious meals and snacks after school and during the summer to children at sites throughout Larimer County. In partnership with the Junior League of Fort Collins, Kids Link supplies packaged snacks to qualifying schools to assist children who display signs of hunger upon arrival at school. Backpack, in cooperation with Loveland Rotary and McKinney, supplies homeless and near homeless children with a weekend food pack filled with easy to prepare meals and snacks. Food Link provides food to 85 non-profit organizations to distribute to their clients in need. Food Link member agencies include food pantries, kitchens, shelters and snack programs that serve low-income populations. Each year, we save our partner agencies over $2 million on food costs. This experience allowed me to see how bad poverty hits a family. It was also very touching with how much this Food Bank does to help the community.
- I got invited to go to this conference and could not pass it up. This was sure an interesting experience. This was the 37th Lillian Fountain Smith Nutrition Conference, hosted by CSU’s Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition. This conference provides participants with the most current, objective, and authoritative information available in selected areas of human nutrition by speakers that are invited to participate in the conference based on their nationally-recognized contributions to nutrition research or practice. I enjoyed this very much and learned a lot from it. Above are the topics covered. It lasted for 2 days. It was inspiring to be around so many well established people. I was around a network that was very informative and positive.
- This was just the second day of the conference with more seminars.
- My supervised practice has allowed me to have time to be immersed around knowledge and advice that I would not have been able to get with out this opportunity. I was able to experience my first cooking class and was also able to be a representative for the Kendall Anderson Nutrition Center. The cooking class allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and to also prepare material within a time frame. I was able to explain nutrition facts and also do research on Thai culture. At the Farmers Market I was able to connect with the community and was able to explain the importance of a balanced diet and also how the KANC could help you reach your goals. Through my supervised practice I discovered how passionate I am about healthy lifestyle choices and explaining the importance to middle school aged girls. I was able to reevaluate how I would normally explain a topic into a way that could be understood and sparked curiosity. One other path that this opportunity has allowed me to discover is my interest in helping the community through Food Banks. Volunteering and touring the Food Bank aloud me to become more aware of the political/legislative impact on the community. I found the interaction with local schools and boy and girl clubs very positive and much needed. I look forward to using everything I learned from my supervised practice to help me with either going further in my education or professional job.
