Lady McMike’s BodyBlog

i had jury duty today and it was probably the worst thing ive ever been required to do. i had to miss school and a test for it and i was pissed. i also couldnt get to the gym like i wanted and i had to eat warm cheese. Needless to say i was pissed and i think the dent i left in the wall from throwing my bag pack into it proves that. i mean i sat in a room with strangers forced to watch CNN and listen to frickin Paline and McCain and whats his face alllllllll day. it was torture… i think the part that bugged me the most is that i couldnt control the stuation and i wasnt allowed to go to the gym and well that i couldnt eat what i usually do, so i guess it wasnt just one thing. but having ocd made it very hard bc it wasnt something typical for me so it just made me mad. Well tomorrow is a new day and ill work out all my pissed off-ness…

so one of the trainers at my gym is in this show on saturday. its the natural mucsle olympus show or something like that. i want to go to upport her but also to check it out and kinda get a feel for the whole realm of this contest stuff. see if it something i could imagine myself growing balls to do ** not literally** or something i would just hate… we will see how it goes, if i go of course. im kinda excited about it but i like to take it easy and catch up on sleep on saturdays. lol. only after a harsh workout of course.

so i had to do a paper for school on a physical education article from a magazine, and i read an article about childhood obesity. After reading it i was in shock at all the statistics and ive been reading more articles on the topic. I must say it is fasinating to me, i find its prevalent to todays world and we ignore it way to often. Year after year the "epidemic"  and it is an epidemic, gets worse, and when will we get to a point where we realize. holy shit all of our kids are overweight. I mean one of the stats was 22 million… 22 MILLION child from around the world UNDER 5years old are OVERWEIGHT over OBSESE. are you kidding me??!?! there is no reason for a 5 year old to already be consuming to much shit food, and being that inactive. At 5 they should be at a prime of activity, riding bikes, and hiking, and playing on pkaygrounds and running around with friends. But this is not the world of today. Today we are consumed buy the television, the computer scrren, and video games. The couch is our kids best friend and a bag of Doritios is now our greatest companion. Which makes our cute little puppies neglected. Hey they can get overweight with mom, dad and the kids too. The way of todays world sets up every kid for failure and we have let it go out of control. Industries thrive… THRIVE on childhood obesity. Coke and Pepsi sit in school all day with our kids and rack up quaters. Along with other companys that produce the soda and the candy and crap that is in the vending machines found in numerous locations around school. I found it funny that there was 4 vending machines outside of one of my gyms in my high school. A little counter productive, but ok. I mean it wasnt bad enough that nobody really participated but now they are slamming down some powdered donuts and a coke. I could go on and on forever. Literally. FOREVER. i have such a strong opinion about this stuff. I transfered schools and im now a physhical education major, and im finally realizing why i switched. I wanted to be a personal trainer. but being a gym teacher seems like a better spot for me. An adult is a person with a life time of bad habits. A child in an unfortunate victim that is still able to be molded. I want to help in fighting  childhood obesity.. I want to give our kids a better future by giving them the tools to be healthy. A kid can be happy with a twinkie but when the twinkie is gone, whats to smile about. When a kid is fit they can always smile… for the  most part. I want to instill confidence in my kids by showing them how to be fit and active and to be healthy. The biggest part is health. All these kids are getting problems that our grandparents. Its terrible… but enough im rabbling now…

so i just got home from my canoeing trip with one of my classes for school. lol. yea canoeing for school and its a 3 credit class!!! I love it. Anwyays, canoeing is a great chest and sholder workout. Esp going up stream through the rapids. so if i ever want to blast my pecs again i know exactly what to do. And its relativly fun, and a change of pace from the gym which i see way to often (not that im complaining, the gym i my home more than my real home). but now im going to take a nap, im pooped. lol
