Activity<br />
Take a 5- <strong>to</strong> 0-minute break for physical activity (e.g., walk around the building, down<br />
the hall and back, or in a circle in the room). Try <strong>to</strong> move <strong>to</strong> music, if available.<br />
Review of Discussion Points<br />
Say: Today we learned about three main <strong>to</strong>pics: the importance of choosing more healthful foods, how <strong>to</strong><br />
identify more healthful foods by reading food labels, and how <strong>to</strong> make healthier choices. Let’s use<br />
something that we learned in this session and make a pledge about food or activity that we can keep<br />
during the coming week.”<br />
Pledge<br />
Have participants make an individual pledge concerning one objective that they will<br />
work on for the next session. The pledge should be realistic and specifc, and it should<br />
include something that can be maintained over time.<br />
Examples:<br />
I will prepare two meals this week by baking foods that I usually would fry.<br />
I will s<strong>to</strong>p eating snacks after 8:00 PM.<br />
I will eat a piece of fruit for dessert instead of eating pie, cake, or ice cream.<br />
Affrmation<br />
Say: “Our affrmation for this week is ‘We are. We can.’ How can this affrmation help you <strong>to</strong> keep your<br />
pledge this week?”<br />
Post–Session 3 Questionnaire<br />
Administer the Post–Session 3 Questionnaire (included in Appendix M). Remind participants <strong>to</strong><br />
write their names (or their initials with their day and month or birth) on their questionnaires and <strong>to</strong><br />
hand them in <strong>to</strong> you.<br />
Reminder for the Next Session<br />
Say: “Next week we’ll be discussing strategies for increasing physical activity. Be sure <strong>to</strong> use your GAME<br />
PLAN Food and Activity Tracker this week. Remember, this strategy is what worked for people in the<br />
<strong>Diabetes</strong> <strong>Prevent</strong>ion <strong>Program</strong> study, and we want <strong>to</strong> share their success. I’d be glad <strong>to</strong> stay and talk<br />
one-on-one with anyone having trouble using the tracker. Don’t forget <strong>to</strong> use the affrmation <strong>to</strong> help<br />
you keep your pledge. We’ll see you next week.”<br />
