Following a Healthier Route
When I was a child, I loved to run. I'd race to the nearest store with my little brother whenever our mother would ask us to buy something.In high school, I altogether quit any sport that I almost got into. I almost got into basketball, volleyball, track and field, and even martial arts.
Thing is, Daddy wasn't always open with letting girls do sports. So being a good daughter, I never really minded.
In college, I suppose I was so busy with school that exercise was never a priority at all. Heck, I'd even forget about eating at the time. So by the time I started working, I was one big lazy office lady.
In January 2012, I started having health issues. The kind that you can't ignore. There are stuff that a person can put off for the rest of his/her life until he/she dies, but this was not one of those. I had to quit my job, and with some persuasion from my parents, I had to come back to my hometown after a minor operation.
My doctor told me that it was important to lose weight, but being so lazy, I never really got around to it.
Then I realized that since I came home, I haven't been too busy, unlike when I have been living in the bigger city. My schedule right now is so much freer that I can actually squeeze in working out.
I started running every other day, until my body finally adjusted to it and has been asking me to run pretty much everyday. Since this new lifestyle that I have been following, fast food has become tasteless, I needed to consume a lot of water everyday, and sleep comes to me naturally now. I used to have problems with sleeping in the past.
I have been running on my own in the past few months by myself, but now, I managed to get a few of my office mates to run with me.
Everything just feels so much better now.
