Ya'at'eeh, I'm Roz Barber here with Carol Percy. We are your lifestyle coaches.
We have reached Session 16, Native Lifestyle Balance.
And our topic today is 'Ways to Stay Motivated'.
Think about the personal accomplishment you made
through the 16 sessions of Native Lifestyle Balance.
And congratulations on that success.
By completing Native Lifestyle Balance, you took important step towards living a healthier life.
In Navajo, we say...
Today, we are going to talk about how to stay motivated for the long term
and how to make your commitment to healthy eating and physical activity last for a lifetime.
But first let's review your progress since the beginning of the program.
Please complete the progress review on page 3.
First, write down what changes you have made to be more active.
♪
Then record changes you have made to eat less fat and fewer calories.
Use your food diaries if that helps you remember your successes.
♪
Use your 'How Am I Doing Graph' to answer the question,
'Have you reached your weight goal?' And check yes or no.
Let's look at Betty's 'How Am I Doing Graph' as an example.
Today, Betty weighs 187 lbs.
So today,
we write the date down here,
and then Betty weighs 187 lbs. So we're going to go up to 185, 86, 87
and go over to the correct place and graph
today's weight.
So today, Betty is 1 lb. from her 7% weight loss goal.
So here's her 7% weight loss goal of 186. She's only got 1 pound to go to get there.
The 7% weight loss goal that we drew at session 1 on our 'How Am I Doing Graph'
is over a 6 month period of time or about 26 weeks.
Betty is currently at 16 weeks
into her 7% weight loss goal and yet she is almost at her goal.
So it is important that Betty stays motivated to lose that last pound and reach her goal.
If you are at your weight loss goal, congratulations!
If you are still working toward your goal like Betty, that is fine.
Remember that Native Lifestyle Balance is a lifelong commitment,
and I have confidence you can achieve your goals.
♪
Next ask yourself if you have reached your activity goal and check yes or no on page 3.
Betty was active 150 minutes this week.
So let's graph Betty's activity.
Here is today's date.
Once you've written down the date,
go up the line
and find 150 minutes,
and that's how many minutes of activity Betty achieved this week.
So Betty has reached her activity goal, but that doesn't mean she can stop activity.
Research shows that the key to maintaining weight loss is to keep up the activity.
As soon as the person decreases their activity minutes, it is common to see the weight go up.
Activity is the key to weight loss maintenance,
and weight loss is the key to diabetes prevention.
So the first key to weight loss maintenance over a lifetime is to keep on moving it.
At the bottom of page 3 is a space
to write down what your future goals are.
If you have reached your 7%
weight loss goal, write down a new goal.
You might choose to maintain the weight you have lost.
Or you might choose to set a goal of 5 more pounds of weight loss.
Be realistic.
If you have not reached your goal
for the weight loss or activity
or have strayed from healthy eating,
write down what you plan to do next
to try to reach your goal.
People who enter
weight loss maintenance have the most chance of success by keeping a food diary and recording activity minutes.
Whether or not you are at your
goal for weight loss and activity, praise the progress you made in a honest way.
Keep weighing yourself as the scale is your friend in giving you information about weight re-gain.
Set a specific goal for yourself about the dangers of weight re-gain,
and make a positive action plan to prevent re-gaining the weight you have lost.
For me, 5 pounds of weight gain means I need to re-evaluate my eating and activity.
Be specific in the action you will take.
I check my weight every morning, and if I see my weight climb by 5 pounds,
I re-focus in on eating less fat and sweets.
I also make sure I do daily activity until I see the scale reverse direction.
Motivation is crucial to maintaining healthy eating and physical activity for the long term.
But staying motivated is one of the biggest problem people face.
Sometimes staying motivated is difficult.
Just because we're doing well.
That is how progress itself makes it hard to maintain that progress.
But think back to
when you first joined the program.
You may have felt tired when you went upstairs in your home,
motivating you to become more active.
Now that you can
climb stairs easily your source of motivation from feeling tired is now gone.
So you need new motivation.
Maybe trying an activity you have never done before.
Betty tried using
hand weights for new motivation like this.
It is the same for weight.
When you first found Native Lifestyle Balance, your clothes may have been tight motivating you to lose weight.
If your clothes are looser now, you no longer have tight fitting clothes as a source of motivation.
One tip from other participants who started weight loss maintenance
is to measure your waist with a belt or a piece of string.
So Roz is measuring her waist with a piece of string.
Then measure your waist with a belt or string at least once a week.
If you notice the string tightening at your waist or if you have to loosen your belt,
follow the action plan you set for weight re-gain.
♪
Page 4 to 9 of your handout has 9 tips for staying motivated.
Pick ideas that work for you.
One tip is to keep visible signs of your progress like monthly activity calendar
in a location where you see at least once a day.
For instance, you could hang the calendar on your bathroom mirror.
This is a monthly activity calendar that allows you to track your activity, your weight, and your food diary
all in one calendar.
The calendar also allows you to total your activity minutes in a week.
To start your calendar, first record your name,
weight goal,
and activity goal.
Write in the days of the month.
Carol is making the calendar for December.
Next, record your daily activity minutes,
how much you weigh,
and when you record your eating.
You can do this same
record keeping on any calendar you use at home.
So let me demonstrate how to use the activity calendar.
The first thing you want to do, let's just say we're doing this week here.
So let's say that Betty walks for 30 minutes on Sunday.
So you'd write walk 30.
And then she weighs herself, and she weighs 188 lbs.
And so she decides that because she went up a pound she's going to record her
eating the next day. So you give yourself a check that you
kept your food diary.
She weighed herself again, and she was still 188 but couldn't fit in any activity that day.
She fit in her work break activity here for walking 30 more minutes.
She didn't weigh herself this day or keep track.
Then... this day she did fit in her activity again of walking
for 30 minutes, and she weighed and she's back down to 187.
And then...
she didn't have any walking on Thursday or Friday.
And on Saturday, she walked again for 30 minutes.
And she weighed herself, and she was again 187 lbs.
So then when you get to the end of an entire week,
then you add up your total for activity minutes.
And so let's see what Betty did.
30, 60, 90, 120, so then here she would write 120.
In this way, on one page of paper you have a visible sign of your progress.
You can find this activity calendar at this website:

That calendar is a great tool Carol.
Now let's briefly review some of the great tips
from the 16 Native Lifestyle sessions.
Session 1: Weigh yourself regularly. Keep a food diary.
Session 2: Gain awareness of the amount of fat and calorie in food.
Think if you have lost 5 lbs you will have this much less fat in your body. Wow.
Session 3: The 3 ways to eat less fat and calories.
Eat a smaller serving of fry bread.
Eat the high fat fry bread less often.
Or eat the low fat tortilla instead.
Session 4: Eat fruits and vegetables and a variety of different foods.
Session 5 and 6: Just Move It!
Session 7: Tip the calorie balance.
Session 8: Identify positive food and activity cues.
Remember when I responded to the food cue of the Navajo Taco sign?
Session 9: Problem solve with action plan and break your problem chain.
Session 10: When you eat out choose wisely at the restaurant like Masani's Grill.
Session 11: Talk back to negative thoughts.
Session 12: Overeating once no matter how extreme will not ruin everything.
Get back on track as soon as you can.
So if I overate
hamburger, french fries and some mutton stew,
then the next day I want to get back on track.
Session 13: Add variety to your activity routine.
Try strength exercise.
Session 14: Social situation other people influence
what we eat.
Would you like some chips, Roz? No thank you, Carol.
Session 15: You can manage stress.
Find a trusted friend to talk with.
And finally Session 16:
Stay motivated to maintain your healthy lifestyle.
Continue to use the tool you learned during these 16 sessions.
Continue your work of setting and reaching healthy goal, self motivating, staying motivated, and overcoming barriers.
You can keep learning
and growing towards new goals even without our coaching advice.
Two resources we recommend are the National Diabetes Program sessions from months 7 to 12,
and the Native Lifestyle Balance after core sessions.
You can find these resources at these websites.

Now let's learn to make the NLB chicken stir-fry.
Here's the recipe.
Cook along with us if you bought the ingredients after session 15.
So let's look at the recipe.
The recipe calls for 1 lb. of round steak, chicken breast or tofu.
We're going to use chicken.
And Roz and I have already cut it up. This is just chicken breast with no skin.
Then 2 to 3 cloves of garlic. This is 2 cloves of chopped garlic.
If you don't want to use fresh garlic, which looks like this when you buy it in the produce,
then you can use 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Be sure you get powder, garlic powder and not salt and then your meal will have less salt in it.
This is a 1/4 cup of soy sauce. I like to buy the
light soy sauce which is usually either has a green cap or green label,
because that's low sodium soy sauce, and soy sauce is really high in salt.
This is 2 tablespoons of brown sugar already measured.
We're going to use ginger.
This is both gingers, just are different brand gingers.
We're going to use 2 teaspoons of corn starch.
And then we've chosen these vegetables, and we've already chopped them up. So we're going to use carrots,
celery,
2 to 3 - oops sorry - 2 to 3 green onions.
This is the broccoli that's chopped.
Roz is holding up the zucchini.
And if you like any other vegetables like mushrooms, peppers, you can add that in yourself.
So we already have all the things cut up and prepared.
And so the first thing we're going to do is just add some cooking spray into our pan to keep the meat from sticking.
We're kind of lucky, because this pan is already pretty stick free.
And so we want to be cooking it at about medium heat, which Roz is adjusting for us.
We're going to take the garlic and put it in here
along with all the spices. So we're going to put the garlic.
We're going to add the onion,
and the chicken.
And Roz, I'll give you the
spatula there, and you can stir it and cook it up until it gets. You can tell that the chicken is cooking.
The other spices that we're going to use
are ginger, and we're not even going to put salt and pepper in today.
So here's the ginger, and we want to use a 1/4 teaspoon of ginger. So I'll measure that in.
(sizzling)
Mmmm that already smells good.
It does. It smells good.
(sizzling)
So as we cook it, then I'm just going to tell you a few other things about this recipe.
So people always say I can't eat fruits and vegetables because they cost too much.
And so this is a meal that has a lot of vegetables mainly in it and the vegetables
all the ingredients that you see here on the table cost $9.00.
And so you're going to get for $9.00 about 4 servings of this chicken stir-fry.
This is brown rice. It looks like this. We have this much leftover from your $9.00 for another meal.
And stir it up a little more, Roz, there. I'm going to turn your heat up a little cause I can hear that it's slowing down
the sizzle.
I'm going to give you even a little more heat, Roz, and so keep stirring it up so it gets brown.
So I was talking about the brown rice. So this is brown rice and it's whole grain if you remember from Session 4.
And we're going to add that in at the end. We already have cooked it.
So because brown rice takes longer to cook, you're going to have to boil that rice before that you actually add it in.
If you want when we go to serve, you could serve the rice and then
serve the stir-fry on top, but we're going to put it all into the pan together.
Now once we get it all made up for you if it looks like
you know that it's not going to be enough to serve your family,
because you have more than 4 people, then just double your ingredients.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with all the spices that we're using, but
ginger is kind of a spice if you've ever had ginger snap cookies.
And soy sauce... everybody's probably had and garlic. So looking good Roz.
(sizzling)
So some of the vegetables that are going to take a little longer to cook
are the carrots and the celery. So let's throw those in while you're cooking the chicken.
And this is the idea behind stir-fry. You just keep stirrin.
(laugh)
to cook.
It smells good. You can smell the ginger.
And you're working your muscles while your doing this. That's right. That's right.
It's really colorful, too.
So you can see that the chicken is browning up a little, and it's getting
a little more cooked. Just keep stirring and it will cook it faster.
That's very beautiful. Let's add the broccoli, because broccoli takes a while
to cook.
(sizzling)
If you wanted to with vegetables you can put the cover on and just let it steam a little bit.
♪
Wow Roz, you've been stirring. Look at how pretty the broccoli's turning a really nice color of green.
You kind of don't want to overcook the vegetables or they get to look kind of wilty.
And we're going to add in the zucchini now,
because that's a quicker cooking vegetable.
And while that zucchini is cooking, let's just look at the nutrition information at the bottom of your recipe.
So it says that this part the vegetables and chicken are going to make 4-one cup servings.
And with chicken, it's about 230 calories per serving and 4 grams of fat.
And if you use beef, it's about 252 calories and 5 grams of fat.
And tofu's 105 calories and 2 grams of fat, because tofu is the least fatty food.
And then if you add in the brown rice, it makes your meal about...
it adds about 108 calories to your meal.
And so your total in calories for this meal are going to be right around 400 calories which is really great for a meal.
So now that these vegetables are...
and the chicken's looking pretty done,
what you want to do, Roz, is kind of push the vegetables to the outside and make a hole right in the middle here.
Okay.
And then we're going to add in a 1/4 cup of soy sauce.
So I forgot to bring a 1/4 cup to my kitchen today,
so I know that a 1/4 cup is about 4 tablespoons. So I'm going to measure 4
tablespoons of soy sauce into the recipe.
There's one,
two,
and you can
use however much soy sauce you want.
And then next after we do the soy sauce, we're going to add some brown sugar into the middle of it.
And the brown sugar just
takes a little bit of the bitter taste out of the soy sauce.
How about just stirring it around and I think it will soften up?
And just kind of just keep that in the middle
until the brown sugar gets mixed into the soy sauce.
It looks like it's making the sauce.
And then you use the cornstarch,
the 2 teaspoons of cornstarch the recipe calls for. You use that to thicken up the sauce.
So it's like it'll be kind of like in a
when you go out to eat at a Chinese restaurant.
So there's one teaspoon of cornstarch
and two teaspoons.
So go ahead and stir that in until it makes kind of a sauce.
You can see it thickening up. Yeah. It is.
There you go.
And now that you've made your sauce, then you can start mixing the sauce in with the vegetables.
See how as you move that vegetables and chicken around then the
sauce gets
coated onto the food that's in our pan.
Smells very good. It does smell good.
Looks good, too.
We didn't overcook the vegetables.
Now I have another hint. If you are really busy
and you don't want to take the time to chop up all the vegetables,
you can just get a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and put it into the stir-fry.
That's great, Roz. And so our rice is already cooked, so now I'm going to have Roz stir in the rice for us.
(sizzling and stirring)
How's it look, Roz? Looks good.
You ready to try some? Of course.
I can't wait. Alright, let's serve some onto those plates there.
I'll give you a tree here. Thank you.
Want some more? No, that's good. You serve yourself.
Okay.
And I'm going to grab a fork. You grab yours.
And let's have a taste.
It's good.
What do you think?
Very good. It's very good.
I like stir-fries because
they're quick and easy.
It tastes better than the chip you offered me earlier. I bet.
Thanks, Carol for teaching me hw
to make stir-fry. Sure, Roz.
Now take the time to plan for staying motivated over the next few weeks and months.
There are handouts at the end of session 16
