PE Fitness Goal

So this year with my PE class, we participate in fitness tests. These tests include: # of push-ups, # of sit-ups, timed laps, and times planks. I have goals for each of these exercises, and I plan on reaching them at by the end of term. So July 15th. Here are my goals:

• Run time: 1:20
• Plank time: 1:45
• Push-ups: 40
• Sit-ups: 45

These goals will be challenging, but I plan on being working on each exercise at least 3 times a week

My thoughts on Food Matters Part 2

I really want to start eating more raw foods after seeing Food Matters in class today. That was one of the ideas mentioned by every single person in the film. Whether I eat raw veggies as a snack or with a full meal, I don’t really care. Just as long as I start eating better. It will take time, I definitely know that, but I’m fully willing to do what it takes to live better. Another thing I plan on doing from now on is taking less medication. I’ve never been one to take a lot of pills, but it seems to be that less is more in this case. I’m perfectly fine with that, as I don’t like taking pills or medicine in the first place. Something about putting all those chemicals in my body has always bugged me. As for doing something to help my family and communities well being? Well I can try my best to teach them and show them the benefits of raw foods and less medicine, but I certainly won’t go around preaching it. If they want to change, then I’ll help the best way I can. If they choose not to change their diet and pill intake, then that’s their choice. Documentaries have never really changed my opinion on something before, though I can’t ignore the substantial evidence that nutrition can help prevent and cure disease, and that treatments to fight cancer can give you cancer. Everything I was taught as a kid seems to be wrong. I’m determined to find more right answers from now on.   

My thoughts on Food Matters: Part 1

As part of today’s PE class, we watched a documentary call Food Matters, which talked about how food and proper nutrition call be exponentially better than pills and drugs. One of the key points in the film is how raw foods keep their nutrients and enzymes, while cooking foods takes those healthy elements away. Even lightly steaming your veggies for dinner can cause them to lose damn near all nutritional value. I find this crazy, though this isn’t even half as bad as the affects of drugs to a person and their health. That’s just insane. Due to past health problems, I never really liked doctors. After watching the documentary, I now don’t trust most of them. The fact they keep so much information from the public is astonishing. It’s just as bad that they lie about the value of vitamins and nutrients. It seems that in the medical profession nutrients and vitamins should be taken in low doses, when in reality people can take as much as they need and want.  

PE and Me

While I don't play on any teams, I love to play all sorts of sports. That's one of the reasons I've always loved PE as a class; it gives that chance to try my hand at different sports. I admit I wasn't a fan of making a blog for this class. I'm not the type to express myself in this manner. A way for anybody in the world to see. Once again, I'm lucky to have this class with some of my closest friends, which always makes each day fun. Seeing them and myself get better and better at each sport is amazing. This year I'm hoping that with each new sport, the rules will be laid out in the very beginning so that there won't be any changes to them while we play. It bothered me last year. As for possible field trips with the class, I heard last week that paddle boarding is a possible option. I vote YES to that. It would be so much fun.
