I Love to Eat

I am going to write about how I love eating. I really do love to eat. I will almost eat anything. Many things that my family members and other people may find nasty, I seem to like and eat it. It may not be the best thing in the world, but I will almost eat anything. The only reason why I will not eat some things is because it is not healthy for you. Lately, probably within the last year or two, I have been more conscience about eating more healthy. I have come to realize that I need to take care of my body and eat right, so that I can live a good, long, and healthy life. I have always liked to exercise, and now I do it more consciously than I used to. I still do enjoy exercising even now that I do it consciously. Throughout pretty much my whole life, I have gotten my exercise in by playing basketball. When I was younger, from about five years old up until I got to college, I used to play basketball almost everyday. Those were the good old days. However, ever since I went to college and had to work, I have not been able to play basketball nearly as much. During the school year, I will probably only play basketball (at the most) three times a week. However, I do exercise in some way everyday/night (usually at night). These nightly workouts that I do consists of abs, quadriceps, hamstrings, calf, bicep, chest, triceps, and a little bit of aerobic exercise. I remember when I was younger, from ever since I could remember up until about a year or two ago, I used to eat like crazy and until I got really stuff. Now, I realize that I can not eat like that anymore and not have any consequences with it. I have never had any weight problems; (I have never weighed over 155), but I observed this fact (that I could not just eat like I was crazy) by checking my weight almost nightly. Now I still eat a lot, but not nearly as much as I used to when I was younger and my metabolism was probably a bit faster. I think that everyone should exercise, even if they are the skinniest person in the world. Exercising helps prolong your life and helps certain body parts to perform better. I also heard that exercising helps you feel better and gives you more energy. I have not been sleeping too good or long at night when I have the chance to. I think this is because of me working out at night; (I have weights and stuff at my house). My lack of rest could also come from my body not being accustomed to getting much sleep. If I get five hours or less of sleep on most nights, then when I have the chance to sleep in one morning and get a total of ten or twelve hours of sleep, then it is probably hard for my body to do this because it is used to me getting very few hours of sleep. Despite the “healthy” way of think that I have developed over the past year or so, I still love to eat.
