Healthy Lifestyle

They say that the key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle is to eat well, sleep well and exercise. I despise exercise- probably due to my awkward body control and the fact that I've lost every single sports game I've ever played in. Coaches like to say that there is no such thing as a one-man-team; you cannot expect to win a match due to the efforts of a single person- but you sure as hell can lose a match due to one. I've proven that true time and time again, when I was forced to join a team in physical education class. It's like my team was down 2 players- I was so bad I might as well have been playing for the other team. Now that I've escaped the awkwardness of my high school years, I sure as hell don't want any reminders of those.

As for sleeping well- heh, I do sleep well- every Friday and Saturday. I go on a weekly cycle, where I sleep for 8 hours on Sunday and Monday night, then 7, 6, or 5 for the next couple of days - hit Friday and Saturday- then I sleep for a good 11-12. Now, that's a normal week. On those really, really nasty weeks when I have assessment I get something like 3-4 hours on a good night, and 0-2 hours on a bad one. Despite knowing that my irregular sleeping habit is detrimental to my health (not from science reports, but from my personal experiences), I continue to do so because I've decided that it is what I choose to sacrifice in the grades, sleep and social life dilemma.  


As for eating- I decide to go on a diet roughly once every day, always after dinner, when I feel like I can go without eating for a week. Then it gets to midnight, and I think to myself, "man I'm really hungry," so I go out, grab some food and forget completely about my diet plans until after dinner the next day, when I'm bloated again. Then I remark to myself once again about how much I eat and how fat I'm going to become, and make diet resolution ver. 5.0.6. It never lasts. I keep on telling myself that it will, that I'll change the next day- but it just doesn't happen. 

Well, another 5 months and I'll be out of college. Another 5 months and then I will be reborn. Maybe we can give this "healthy lifestyle" thing a try then.
