Healthy=Wealthy!!!!


Ok, ok so I have school, school, practice, practice, more school, eating, school, study, work, a paper, a test, work, oh yeah sleep, oh and fun?

Fun? That's how it feels right now.  Fun, what is fun.  Where does it come into play.  You see I love to eat.  I love cultural foods.  I love eating healthy too, it's fun to me.  I'm not going to lie though it has definitely been very hard to eat the way I should here.  I find myself practicing or studying up until 6 PM when I have to go to work and then I can't go to dinner.  When I get out of work at 9 PM Gee is closed and then I get to choose between a lovely granola bar or nothing.

This past week however I have tried my hardest to get my life together, because it seemed like it was kinda ripped away.  I have made a pact with myself to try and run at least three miles a week.  Hip Hip Hooray I followed that this week!!! I cannot tell you just how much the excercise alone helped in giving my life back to me.  I know, I know excercise takes time and we don't have time.  Wrong, excercising gave me sooo much energy that I didn't have before, I know I have to eat because I'm hungry after I excercise and my brain is functioning a whole lot faster and better because of the endorphins so why not run?  Honestly though call me up at 3:30 on hopefully everyday of next week and we will run together!!! :)

So here's the deal with the whole alcohol thing. Don't do it! First of all it's illegal and I know I sound like a goody two shoes but believe me I'm not.  I know that if we are all worrying about time alcohol is the farthest thing from help in that situation.  Growing up in a home with a father who is now a recovered alcoholic I can say first hand that it does not help anything.  The quote, "You do not have to be an alcoholic to experience problems with alcohol," says it all! I mean I think it is more than ok in moderation at the age of 21.  I have had my share of "fun." It wasn't fun and I even knew it at the time we just wear blind folds, because everyone says it's the cool thing to do. 

I want everyone to know that I'm not a judgemental person however.  If you honestly have fun and you aren't hindering your studies, yourself, or the people around you than your life is your life and you have control!!! :) I honestly believe that too. So have fun whatever in whatever way you want just be considerate of yourself and others.

So that was way too serious and I feel like a judgmental person just writing it and I am the last person to have the rite to judge anyone.  I think that the group of music students happens to be a very wise group of girls.  It's a lot of fun being in classes with each and every one of you!!!

    Yes, exercising is a great way to relieve stress and feel better mentally and physically. Thanks for sharing about your Father.

    Watch your spelling. It is "exercise."
