PREACH

I'm going on a preaching rant, stepping to the pulpit. 
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.
