Getting Active.

Today I was watching a show called "The Half -Ton Teen". This show was talking about how so many people,not just kids but adults are obese. This show really got me thinking. It got me thinking about what I eat and what I do.

I am guilty of it,like we all are sometimes. We are all guilty of over eating or just eating badly sometimes either because we are stressed or just for the plain fact that we are hungry. I know for me I eat when I am stressed(Which I should not do,but I do). I know it is not healthy to eat junk food but I do.

I try to be a healthy person. I go to the gym and dance and try to be as active as I can but there are some days where I just don't have the time to work out. I always feel guilty when I can't work out but then I pay for it later when I look in the mirror. See I think that the reason that kids and adults are getting to be obese these days are because we are not active enough. Yeah part of it has to do with what we eat but then the other part of it is because we do not get up and move anymore. We don't run or jump or dance or walk or do anything anymore.

Me personally I have to get up and be doing something most of the time. I just can not stand it when I have to sit still for hours at a time. It just drives me crazy,I just don't know how people do it. I am not saying that we all have to be a size zero so please don't miss interpret me,but I am just saying we should all get active. Remember not only will it make us feel good about our self's but it makes us in better health. So lets all get up and be as active as we can.

The Tasty Treat.

I try to stay healthy,I really do but sometimes I slip up a little bit and I just have to have that tasty treat (like we all do sometimes.) Every since I can remember I have always loved sweet things to eat. When I was little I use to love my grandmother's home made apple dumplings. They were so good and just they best thing I think there was to eat. Now, she makes her famous donuts that are just so good,and sweet.

They are just the best things ever and I love them so much. I look forward to her making them every time I come home from college. Sometimes she even sends them to me in a package at school so I don't miss out on them,which is so awesome of her to do.

When I was little, I use to help her make them. They have always been homemade so they taste so much better than what you would get at the store.It is kind of a tradition for her and me now to make them.Like I have said I love to be in the kitchen so when I get to make these donuts with her it just makes me really happy and it makes me forget about my day.

Someday,I hope to pass the recipe down to my children like my grandmother has done to me.
It is just so special to make and plus yummy at the same time. Everybody has that special comfort food and mying are her donuts. So my question of the day is what is your special comfort food,or special food that you look forward to when you come home from college or a trip? All I know is that I can not eat my special comfort food a lot because of me being on a diet 24/7 and because I try to stay as health as possible, but if I wasn't trying to do any of that I would eat all of those yummy donuts. Trust Me On This One.
