Quarantined Determination

7/29/2020

0 Comments

 
I am going to talk about my  personal  good experience story. One day I thought about how to stay fit and healthy, which I couldn’t do earlier. At that time I was a little overweight, and I felt tired because my body had  swelling and also I felt low energy in my body. I am Anemic. The weight loss process is very challenging, but everyone wants to do it. There are many steps involved in this but the most important thing is to stick with it. And I promised myself.
    The first step in losing weight was to get rid of all the greasy junk food in my house, and I had to adopt good eating habits. I eat only healthy crispy green vegetables, salad, milk and dry fruit. When I eat, first I check the food’s calories. I prefer low calorie food sometimes. I fast. I drink lemon water. I drink green coffee to help lose weight. I have shunned fried foods that have a lot of  fat.
​    
The second most important step in losing weight is exercise. I  run every day for at least one hour, but it is easy to feel tired. I thought, “Oh my god!” when I reached my goal. The first  week is very hard. Then the  second week feels good.   I do yoga for twenty minutes. After exercise I feel fresh and cool and  raise my energy level and in a different mood. I feel happy and relaxed and calm. ​

    Exercise is really good for health. For example, previously there was swelling in my body, but now that I do exercise, I feel much better. My goal was to lose twelve pounds in two months and I succeeded.  I never skip  my exercise even if it rains. I do exercise in my home now. I have almost lost sixteen pounds in  two months and three weeks.
   I walk with my husband everyday. We enjoy walking and talking and spending time with each other. We walk in my neighborhood. There is a green space where we usually walk in the morning. We take deep breaths. The feeling of  the air filling  my lungs is magical and  encourages me to keep going.  We heard birds singing and we saw beautiful sunrises.  When we saw bright colors, it made me feel happy. When we walked and saw nature, I felt more peaceful.
    In conclusion, health is the most important thing in our life. If  we enjoy our life, we will have a long happy life. I promise myself  I am going to continue walking my whole life. I would like to convince you to do fifteen to thirty minutes everyday of walking outside .The health benefits of walking are really amazing.

Changing My Routine

7/28/2020

What do people think about this period? I thought this period was a good opportunity to change my life. Why did I change my life? Because my life has been unhealthy.  I wanted to be fulfilled in my life and I don't want to get fat. I mean, I easily get fat, and it is difficult to maintain my body. So I have tried a lot of things.​

At first, I changed my eating habits. I have never been careful about it. Most of the time, I was eating sweets, carbohydrates and high-calorie foods. These smells attract me. Therefore my health condition is sometimes bad, but I didn't try to change it because it's hard for me to limit my favorite foods. But this period gave me a good opportunity to rethink my eating habits. At the beginning of this period, I was feeling sick. Then I decided to change it. In particular, I tried not to eat carbohydrates, snacks and sweets. These are the fat factors. On the contrary, I tried to eat vegetables, protein, low calorie food and drink only water and a cup of coffee. These are generally good for human health and won’t make you get fat. So I try to eat these as much as possible.  As a result, I lost a little weight. And my health condition became better than before. I have come to think about nutrition when I cook for myself. These dishes taste good and smell very good. Thanks to that, I can cook many dishes. Changing it had a positive effect for me.

   Another thing I want to change is my sleep habits. Now, on weekdays, I go to sleep by 11pm and get up by 7am. On weekends, I go to sleep by 1am and get up by 9am. Before, I used to go to sleep at about 5am and get up in the evening.  Usually the view I saw when I woke up was not blue. Or I didn’t get enough sleep. This affected my physical condition. It was difficult to spend time studying and exercising because I was too sleepy and lacked concentration. So I needed to change my sleep habits. After changing them, I could use my time effectively by making good sleep habits. And I saw a different view. It used to see a dark view but now I can see a bright view. That view changed me from a dark feeling to a bright feeling.  Also I can set up a proper schedule.  Therefore, I feel happy every day.

   Next, I quit smoking about one month ago because I heard that smokers are prone to corona. Another reason is that I felt it wasn't necessary for a healthy life. When I was smoking, sometimes I was frustrated and lacking concentration when I couldn’t smoke. So I didn't think I could stop it, and I didn't even want to. Now that I have stopped it, my worries are that when my friend smoke next to me, I will want to smoke, and I sometimes get annoyed. But now I don't smoke anymore and that bad cycle is lost. 

     I can feel every day is fulfilling by changing my life, and I can spend more time studying and exercising. Corona has many negative effects, but it was a good opportunity to change my life. People tend to have bad lifestyles during this period, but it's a good period of opportunity depending on their own consciousness, so I think it was good to make an effort.  I will continue to live a fulfilling life.
