I'll tell ya, working out and eating right are the key to life. Enjoying nature and the countless activities offered by it make every season exciting. Every time I go snowboarding, hiking, running, climbing, etc., it is a new challenge and a totally worthwhile experience. I'm no daredevil and I find it difficult to let go of my insecurities and doing these things help me to break out little by little. Making it a group adventure is even better than going it alone! I love everyone I have gotten to know through being active and I have some of my best memories from the times I've had with other people.
Being healthy makes everything else easier. Sickness becomes a rarity, the mind thinks more clearly, depression can be overcome and confidence rises.
I'm not perfect, but I am proud of my health choices these days. I have always wanted to be healthy, but didn't fully act on my goals until this year at SUU. I have tripled my daily running mileage, I go to the gym 5-6 days a week, I have learned countless workouts from classes and I manage a pretty good diet.
Today I ran both at the gym and around campus, did some biking, went to the usual aerobics class I do four days a week and then finished off with weights. I also talked wellness with my roomie and we discussed food and nutrition. We always get so into these conversations!! I love this stuff. I'm on the path to wellness. I love my body, mind and spirit. I don't think I could ever get bored with this ever-progressing life.
