Health, Food and Exercise:
Did I mention to you guys that I had bought some neon tetras over the weekend? They look really beautiful. I really hope that they will stay alive. Most websites warn that they are very hard to keep alive these days and very hard to breed. But they have survived about three days now and that’s typically a good sign. What I really like about them is the glittering bands of blue and red that really make them colourful.
On Monday evening I went to the gym and the trainer made me to do push ups and crunches. I still feel a little stiff from Monday. The way I was doing push ups apparently was so wrong that the trainer did not even want to describe it to me. She simply said that it was very strange. I guess that as long as I get something good out of this experience I am not going to complain. I am for the first time in my life learning how the body should be exercised. You see, my dad is this person who never believed in sports and always thought that they were a waste of time. Not that I blame him entirely. I was very glad that he felt that way. I was always comfortable with the way I looked and didn’t really want to be more active. I justified it thinking that I was healthy and that’s what really mattered. But of course, there is way you can be thin without all the hard work of exercise. some people do manage but they are the lucky ones. The normal ones do tend to gain weight. So you have to exercise and watch what you are eating.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I am noting down everything that I am eating from Monday. I have been noting down my feelings before and after eating anything and making an effort to drink water as I eat. So I have three columns, the first one I write down what I ate, the second is how much calories I ate and the third is a description of what food group it falls under. So this way I have an approximate idea of how many calories I am taking in and what food groups I am really lacking.
The great thing about eating a healthy diet is that you know that you are not eating anything less. And so you are less likely to feel that you might be missing something and go on a binge eating spree. At least that’s how I feel. After all, you have a sheet in front of you in graphical format that tells you that you are each and every section that is listed in the sheet. How can you feel that you are missing out when the sheet is fully coloured out.
Quote of the Day: Although the earth comes back to the exact same position with respect to the sun every year, the solar system itself has moved considerably from the position it was in when you were born. So while things remain the same in some ways, they also change. Always.
