Health and Fitness

I am not sure if I ever mentioned this before, but I am really into health and fitness. I don't know why I am, since my parents really aren't, and I wasn't raised to be this way, but I am.

Don't get me wrong, I love my junk food, but I have learned to eat less of it, and smaller portions.

I decided to do a few little health and fitness posts as summer is around the corner, and that usually means people are ready to get healthy and fit. :)

ONE: my number one tip is drink water!!! This is so important. Water is essential to life, but many people don't drink as much as they should. Take water with you everywhere you go. Drink before, during, and after workouts. DRINK THAT H2O!!! :)

TWO: we hear a lot of talk about healthy eating, but if you're a teen living at home, it can be hard to eat healthy, especially if your family doesn't. Encourage your parents to buy healthy stuff. My dad likes to take us kids to circle k a lot to get candy bars. What I like to do instead of getting candy, is I will get a granola bar or a cereal bar, a healthier tasty alternative.

Make sure you are eating plenty of and veggies!

THREE: allow yourself some junk food. It isn't good to completely deprive yourself of junk food, because you will crave it and eat a whole bunch when you get the chance. If you are out with friends, enjoy the ice cream or brownies. I like to eat junk less often, because it is a special treat when I do eat it.

I am going to post three more fitness tips soon.

Remember you are beautiful just the way you are!!! :)

A new one for my bucket list.

Learn to play guitar.


Yesterday, I posted about my summer bucket list. I also decided yesterday evening that I would like to learn how to play the guitar. I play the piano, but at the moment I don't have a piano or even a keyboard and I love playing music, making songs, and stuff like that.

There is a nice guitar on eBay for 35 dollars and I would like to buy it. I will wait until AFTER driver's ed though, of course. That comes first and foremost (after money for God. haha)

I am really excited!!!

Before the end of summer...

I've been seeing little summer bucket lists all over the place lately. I decided to make my own. I don't like summer. In fact, I hate it. I don't mind the no school part, but I hate insanely hot weather and summers are sooooo long here! Well, summer weather at least. The good thing about summer is the next season is Fall--MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. I love Fall soooo much I capitalize it. In your face, English!

Well, with summer coming, I decided I want to enjoy it. I will hopefully have A/C and with that, I don't mind summer. Without it, it's like living in the "bad place". Seriously. The house gets HOT.

1. Be able to drive!!! I am 17 years old. In California, you can get your permit when you turn 15 1/2. I was 16 when I got my permit. The next thing to do is go to behind-the-wheel one time. The instructor signs your permit and bam, you can drive with your parents. Take the classes two more times, drive for 50 hours and wait 6 months and you get your license. Easy right? Well no. I've had my permit forever. I finished driving school in October 2010!!! So my goal this summer is to finally be able to drive. I want my license by October. fingers crossed. I am PATIENTLY waiting for $239.00. Praying eBay works out well for me!!

2. Buy a good straightener. I really want to get a good one. One I can use to straighten and curl my hair with. :)


3. Get some kind of job besides eBay. This might not happen.

4. Have money in a college fund. College is close! I have no money, and I know my parents want to pay for a lot of my college, but I still want to do something! Preferably more than $1.00. $100 would be nice.

So that is a really small list of goals, but they're very big goals. (besides the second one) I'm hoping I enjoy this summer!

Who knows, I may think of more things to add to my summer bucket list later. :)
