TIE#1 - Exercising

That's right folks, I enjoy EXERCISING! :D (probably explains why I'm a exercise and sport science major....)

Anyways...

Most of my friends know this already, and kind of find it puzzling because, I mean come on, who actually enjoys exercising? *points to self* This girl here.
Now, you are probably thinking that I like exercising because it helps me keep my body in shape. This is only partially true because my body really likes to expand because of my love for food, so that doesn't really seem to apply here. The real reasons for why I like to exercise are the following:

1. This may be too much information, but exercising helps my bowel movement. Who doesn't love a clean colon, right? This is one of the mean reasons why I like exercising. I don't feel constipated and my body feels clean and toxic free. I love how empty my stomach gets. It means I can stuff it again. :)

2. Exercising helps me relax. It really does! Lots of people listen to music to help them exercise, but I fuel on my stress and thoughts. I like to run outside because of this. Running outside, I can go anywhere and the distance is limitless with ever changing scenery. During these kind of runs I just go through all my thoughts, what I've been feeling all day and why, what people are doing around me, what I want to do with my life, how I'm going to answer a question on a homework, curse about a person to myself, etc. You guys should try it! You let out anger, sadness, anxiousness, and fear this way - at least I do.

3. After exercising, I can focus. When I don't exercise my mind is a mess. It can't focus on one thing and usually jumps all over the place to the different things I need and feel like doing. It's because I have so much energy. But when I exercise, I release some of the unnecessary energy and end up with just enough to keep myself focused on one thing at a time. This is the best way for me to make myself study. I gotta exercise before I open that textbook and pull out some paper and a pen.

4. It makes me feel good about myself. When I exercise and see that I can still run a mile or 2 in a set time frame, lift weights, and do all those other exercises, it reminds me that though I may not be as skinny as the girls in the media, I am still healthy and functioning normally. It makes me believe that I may be bigger or "thicker" than most of my friends, but I am still fit and still strong.

5. I can eat all the food I want without feeling too guilty! :D

6. Sometimes I can look at eye candy at the gym and people watch as I run. :)

These are the reasons I can think of at the moment. I also loveee playing sports, though I'm bad at them, because it's fun and I get to have bonding time with friends. :)

Until next time...
