This week I have noticed that I have been sleeping a lot better, I rarely wake up in the night anymore. I always look forward to sleeping when I'm sore, because it feels great. Since I've been in this class I feel like my nutrition has been decreasing. After a workout I feel so accomplished and I feel I deserve a treat, so I usually get a cookie or eat ice cream at home. That's a habit I want to break. I drink almost 3 bottles of water everyday that I have strength training, and it makes a huge different physically and mentally. Water has become my new favorite drink; to me nothing else can compare to its taste. I try to eat a lot of protein and I'm pretty good when it comes to eating portion wise. I occasional get a sweet tooth and eat chocolate, cookies, candy or ice cream. I have noticed a huge physical change since this class started. My pecks have gotten bigger, my abs have become more defined, and my arms have also gotten bigger. I feel a lot happier in school and in general. I have had more motivation for school work and my grades have gone up. Every time I get into the situation that may lead to a bad food choice I always think back to this class and how it will effect me in the next workout. If I end up making the wrong choice I feel guilty but I'll always make up for it later with push-ups or sit-ups and that helps me feel less guilty. This class has inspired me more than any other class ever had, and it is very important to me. When I grow up I want to be personal trainer to help people lose weight. This class has been a great experience and I know it will continue to be.
