During my body transformation, I have learnt new qualities about myself and superseded my own expectations. A couple of years ago, I was overweight and had a very unhealthy lifestyle, I used to play video games for about 10 hours per day, eat junk food, and rarely leave my bedroom. My body made me sorrowful and unconfident. However, this is all changed when I entered the gym for the first time. I began going to the gym daily. Encouraged by the progress I was making, I was determined to change the way I live. As time passed on, I started to lose interest in video games and better my nutrition. I began filling my free time with interesting and useful hobbies such as programming and studying topics that arouse my intellect such as Evolutionary
Biology. Today, I’m nothing like my old self. Body building has taught me to view myself positively. In the past, I’ve considered myself a loser but now I view myself as patient and determined person. In conclusion, my body transformation made me see myself in a new light.
The story about I Martranika Gross, called changing my life. It all begin with many ideals that I had in mind to become while changing my life so my daughter will fix in. First was continue my education at Strayer University and a journey to follow. Next, becoming a role model with a pathway lay out for my daughter, a showing her not to stay you can’t to become successful. Finally, overcome obstacles first you have to have faith within yourself, and the key word is knowledge.
There are many ways in which the ideal body has been chased over some three thousand years. A common theme in all of this is the desire for physical wellness. This too has been good for business and people like Dr. Oz can be heard frequently endorsing the root of this and the fruit of that. However, if you look around the gym all those mirrors aren't there for you to check on your wellness they are there for you to catch a glimpse of the Weary Heracles; most are at least half way there for they surely do look weary.

I’m actually kind of shocked I could write about recovery because it is a topic with a special meaning to myself. But, I found it easier to write about my own experience with a negative event this time, and I believe it is because I grew as a writer. I saw the value the personal testimony adds to a piece, and thus I could add my own story.
Hearing stories about your childhood and listening to all of the small things you did, to all of the big things you did for people. And seeing where you got your loyalty from, you can stick with you for the rest of your life.
After having a self-reflection of myself I realized that I wanted to be distinctive, I wanted to reconstruct the way I was living. I was tired of just the same repetitive schedule that I followed in high school. I would get up at six twenty in the morning which was the perfectly set time that I determined was necessary to complete my morning routine. I would then head to school which I went through the same repetitive schedule as the previous day. Then I would travel back home consume whatever was prepared by my mother, play some videogames for hours then tend to my my homework and finally head to bed to repeat another average day. It was until one day one of my friend invited me to go to the gym with him. He took me to the gym which was not too far away from my school and lead me to the doorway to bodybuilding. It was just after a couple of
Metamorphosis: A transformation that relates to real life health issues. In the story, The Metamorphosis, Gregors transformation into a vermin can be connected to overall health in today’s society because Gregors “disorder” altered his “complete state of physical, mental, and social well-being” (Kaiser Permanente). Based on the definition of health, Gregor’s state and the experiences he went through in the story, would be more similar to someone who was in overall, poor health.
One thing that really bothers me is how much I changed. I used to play games all day, not focus on school, wouldn't get in serious trouble, and was very innocent compared to my present day self. There are cons and pros of my past self compared to how I am currently. I am more happy of how I am now then I am before. As time changes, so do I and I can not stop that. What’s done has already been done and can’t be changed so you always have to look towards the future and never the past. The past will not definite who you are today unless you let it. I would have never expect that I would be transferred to a continuation high school in my freshman year. It is a bad thing to many people, but I am thankful that I am sent to it because I will learn
Throughout every person’s life, there will always be moments in time where change will take place. This could range from a variety of events such as changing schools, jobs, or even one’s own home. However, there are some habits that help one stay healthy if they remain consistent. This can consist of altering one’s diet to a healthier one or even enhancing the number hours of sleep one gets per night. A health change behavior goal that I have taken the time to evaluate and accept is necessary will be composed of a ten day exercise program in order to completely change my physical fitness habits. Selecting this health change behavior was the best choice due to the fact that after starting my educational career here at UCI, I had abandoned the active lifestyle that I once had before college. For the past two
It was a Wednesday afternoon, I was trapped in the most exciting class Shawnee Mission West had to offer, Human Anatomy. By exciting, I mean I had the opportunity to memorize each of the bones that surrounded the vital thoracic organs in the human body, very cool. My brain felt like it was slowly deteriorating as I was waiting for the clock to strike 2:40. The anticipation was brutal. I struggled to keep my eyes open, and my thoughts focused. The slow ticking sound of the clock interrupted the voice of my teacher’s lecture. Mr. Bair, made his best effort to keep the class involved in his lecture, as he was explaining how the human body was composed of 270 different bones. Although, the distracting sound of the clock, and the anticipation of
To begin, the only two body modifications that I have done is pierce my ears and I dyed my hair numerous times. The body modification I will focus specifically on is piercing my ears. I got my ears pierced when I was about two months old. My family has always done this with the girls in our family; they pierce their ears about one or two days after they are born. The reason my family does this is because they believe it will cause extreme pain if they were pierced at a later age because the tissue would not be as soft. Additionally, they believe that having the earrings in at an early age will cause the holes too never close up, since the earrings were inserted at an age where the baby cannot take them off. The reason I had to wait until I was about two months old was because I had to spend about the first month of my life in the hospital due to complications
Four months ago in May, I began my fitness journey. Now let me be completely honest, I wasn’t a first timer at all, and I was not where near a professional. I was that person that seriously began one every new year and never ever kept to it. My thoughts were that by summer I would be fit and toned, but we all know that when summer rolled around that was not the feeling. My weight was a constant yo-yo, it ranged something like this 125, 120, 118, 122, 119, or 124. It was never the same for long. Then the worst happened in January of 2015, my ACL decided to give along with my meniscus. I then had surgery by February and no walking until April. THREE months in bed!! During February, March, and April I was at the worst time in my life, just ready
Included in this are physical fitness, life expectancy, nutrition, sickness, and health care. In my earliest memories I remember being extremely skinny. However as I entered the fourth grade I began to move to the opposite end of the scale; gaining a little bit too much weight. I began to shed many of my extra pounds as I began puberty, however I still had a slightly noticeable amount of unneeded body fat. I was already fairly healthy, but at the start of this year I decided to push myself to lose the last few unneeded pounds. At the start of the school year I tipped the scale at 182lbs, and I’ve managed to get myself down to 170lbs. Being in better shape than I ever have before, and knowing I still have a ways to go makes me feel confident about the physical side of my life. Moreover, I’m currently eating healthier than I have in the past; and living in a city within a developed nation makes it fairly easy for me to have access to healthcare when needed. As with any major aspect or category in one’s life, remaining physically healthy requires constant
Just imagine getting the body you always wanted. Imagine the feeling of pure joy as you easily slip into your favorite jeans again. What about the big smile you get when your friends and family start commenting about the dramatic positive changes in your body and asking what you 've been up
When I first began to exercise, I was primarily trying to add size on to my body. At the time I only weighed about one hundred sixty pounds and I was six foot one inch. I was also eight teen and feeling that my lack of participating in school sporting events, as well as my abuse of alcohol and less than ideal food choices, had stunted my physical potential. With this new found feeling of inadequacy I set off on a journey that would change my life forever. The first thing I noticed when I began searching for ways to change my body, was that I was obviously going to have to buy weights if I wanted to look like the guys in the gym. So I set out and purchased the cheapest bench and set of weights I could find. I began to mimic exercises that I had seen people do on television or while walking past the gym. In a period of about a month I had already noticed a huge difference in the amount of weight that I could lift. Within the first year of unorganized lifting, as well as no change to my eating habits, I h...
