Before physical activities I am usually very anxious and stressed actually about working out since I do not like how i look while doing it. When I am doing the workout I do feel a bit stressed but after I do feel the relief of being done with it. I am also able to concentrate on something else while doing the workouts and this helps me forget other stressful things and relax for a while after I workout as well.
I am motivated to do the workouts as i’ve heard they help release tension and stress as well as anxiety. As well, I am motivated to make my body healthier and happier and to get into a habit of working out. I want it to be a permanent change in my life and this pushes me to actually do it. On the other hand, I always feel like i’m stressed about doing papers and homework and not having the time to do the workouts. Since I am graduating, this again puts pressure on me to do better than before and therefore be constantly working. I find myself feeling guilty that i’m not doing homework all the time and I constantly stress over this, sometimes even working out does not help.
It is said that you are to eat 10 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Currently I actually do this! I am a vegetarian so the majority of the protein I eat is from vegetables such as lentils. I eat mainly fruits as snacks throughout the day as well since I love them,
The six essential nutrients are carbohydrates, protein, water, minerals, lipids and vitamins.
Four carbs we should eat more of are, lentils, potatoes, whole grains and fruit.
Four carbs we should eat less of are, pasta, bread, soft drinks and fruit juice.
I should consider cutting out bread. This is where my main source of carbs are coming from, however I do overeat them. It is most likely one of the reasons I am not able to lose weight and I should consider giving it up.
