Getting Healthy

(I took this photo while I was on my way home from work... the photo depicts how I feel about working!!)

Many people have asked me what I do to stay so fit.....And my eyes purposely roll since I really don't know how to respond to that kind of question. I always ask my self, "are they asking me a hypothetical question?" I don't like my boastful respond, the "I don't exercise" respond. It's true though, I eat about four times a day, never count my calories, drink sodas, and I never exercise. I am simply bless with my mom's metabolism. 

Nevertheless, I still don't like how my body feels. I don't like feeling unhealthy and losing my breath so easily. I hate how I get headaches when I start running, as if my body is rejecting the oxygen that I'm getting while running. It's as if my body demands it and wants it, but the over loading just doesn't work, so I end up getting a headache and giving up. But, I have learned the technique for it and I'm going to follow the technique.

I decided that starting Monday, I will start following this guys podcast. My friend, A, had told me about this guy who tells you when to run and when to start walking, which is what I have been looking for. I'm starting my first walk on Monday, I'm going to wake up at 6am..run for 30 minutes! I hope it works.... I'm really hoping that I would be able to keep up with it because someday I want to work as a nurse in the ER and I want to at least be healthier than my patient so I can keep up.

I'm using this blog as an inspiration to show off what I will be able to do with my life, as I start running...running to be healthy. 

Thanks for reading and just in case you're interested  in doing this run with me, here's the link to get the podcast: Couch to 5k
