haha. Who would of thought that sentence would ever come from me?
Yes, I’m asian and I’m 5’1 and about a little over 100lbs. I’m small and I know it and I also know I don’t need to lose weight. I am happy with my body. BUT in the last week I signed up for a spin/yoga class, not to lose weight but simply to WORK OUT. Get my endorphins going, get my heart pumping, rejuvenate my body, push myself to the limits, and to honestly not feel so lazy. I’m not the type to sign up for a gym membership and go to the gym at all. I can now say that I truly respect those who work out for the GOOD reasons. It really does make you feel HEALTHIER, HAPPIER, and most of all ACCOMPLISHED. I can see why people like working out now.
I’ve been trying to go to 2-3 classes a week. After classes I feel more “ALIVE” and “HEALTHIER.” It reminds me that I must take care of my body because its the only one I have! I want to live long enough to see my grandkids finish college and have their own kids, as silly as that sounds. I’m a nursing major I’m taught to take care of a broken body and encourage my patients to take care of their bodies yet I’m such a hypocrite! I need to learn to take care of my own. After working out, I’ve also notice that I try to eat healthier too. Lately my new favorite crazes are quinoa & Zoi greek yogurt… really try it and if you don’t want to make it yourself I’LL MAKE IT FOR YOU! :)
If you aren’t the type to “work out” find what suits you. Just go at it for 30-40 minutes. Get your heart pumping, release the stress, build your body, rejuvenate your body, and most importantly LIVE A LITTLE LONGER!! Like the saying goes, “No one ever says they regret that work out, they always regret not going.”
I want to see my family and friends live a little longer and take care of their bodies because I don’t want to see them end up where I work, please and thank you. WITH LOTS OF LOVE.
