The health advice and fitness challenges are in every newspaper, book, magazine, and gym. The basic information of fruits and vegetables to working 30 minutes 3 times a week are always around. They bring me back to the drawing board every day. Yet even the most repeated instructions cannot be taken literally. For years I've eaten according to an article or worked out from advice and have quit to use the energy and motivation gained from the goals of health and fitness for the priorities that needed the umph working out and eating right gave me.
And the cycle is back but I've been lately pushing through new waves of focus and determination committing all the right corrections to my health and fitness goals. Moving forward has never felt better even the smallest moves such as a ten minute run and spending more time on long walks has been better for everyone. After spending six long hard months changing my eating habits and committing to 40-60 minutes of any kind of cardio three times a week after ten years in just a short span of time, I don't want to let go of this work and its rewards and nothing not even a pay check will get in the way. I thank the Lord for these last six months because everyone will have there time and whether this is my time or not faith without works is dead.
For example, all that sitting around and reading about health and fitness worked out in its timing. Much patience, and endurance came about from days and nights of egg white omlettes dressed in vegetables to weeks of egg white smoothies and still I'm struggling with the long bouts of sitting in the car to watching movies which do not balance much of the work outs I'm doing that involve keeping those long desk hours at work sitting from making you sick.
Then there are the carbohydrates that are recommended to come from vegetables which I cannot grasp in all my hard work.
Thanks for listening and good health to everyone.

Whats There to Write About? A Little on College.
This morning I woke up with the usually check of how I'm feeling mentally and phyically. Being in college, going away to school is a change of environment. People. Coming from the norm of your home is a huge change from the campus of a college. Coming and going in any amount of time can be very challenging for family and friends.
There is no changes that will be understood by anyone and the sooner you understand, comfort, and give the faster and easier the adaption of the college experience will become. Then and only then will you endure the long days of diving into note taking, booking reading, paper writing, study group cooperation, test taking, and the growth spurts of getting involved with the journey of college.
The weather is cold in the winters and hot all the other time of the season. The food and time clock is there so its just like being at home. There are normal routine of chores just like living at home except you do them and not your parents such as taking the garbage out. And washing your linens and clothes for 2.00-4.00 in the laundry mat.
The computers and cafeterias are open all day long. The night life is yours to do the right thing for example you can go out and party a little or alot during finals or the night before a test or you can chose to study a little or a lot its your call. The grades are not determined upon what your roommate is doing with their time or what your study group is doing it is up to you to make your grade. There is the pressures of work and school and play so everyone has there own path to climb through these very crucial times as they please.
The history of campuses will provide the roots of the college spirit. You will see the walks of many students past, present, and the alumni will take you under their wing or they will be happy to take a clipping to your wings for you. The warmth of professors, classmates, and administration is there. You'll probably see canoodlers holding hands going from class to class because I was one of them.
You may like the sport groups who cram in together in the back of the class room exhausted by the long yards they ran the night before. Or you may want to sit a table of actors and musicians in which I wish I would have spent more time with since today I desire to be an actor and its a struggle. Ride your bike, use up alot of meal points, visit the pubs and restaurants instead of sitting in watching movies all day long and studying all at once. Make a balance to get a little done each week and there is so much talk about being a leader but its ok to be a follower too. I was both and moved into different things slowly but get excited and take it easy.
Your parents miss you too. They want to do everything to help you succeed and believe that they are doing all they can because they are and so is the campus structure. Bring yourself and watch the unfolding of your new habits take place. Change is mandatory in college and comes with fun and honor because everyone around you will send that ora of change. Thousands of students all around you are paving their way with the tools, resources, and dreams also. You will learn the rest of your life that the more you do today the easier in the long run it will be for you to be where you desire and need to be. Trust yourself, and build a give yourself a chance always.
