My fitness this year, in comparison to where I was this time last year, is a lot better. I ran with the running group in the community run, when last year I walked pretty much the whole time. My stamina has improved a lot because of the intensity in my swimming and speedskating. Other than sports, I go to the gym/workout outside of school on a regular basis. In class, I bring a positive attitude and a smile, even on a particularly tiring morning. I am prepared for class, because I bring my PE strip every time. In general, I take PE a lot more seriously and really enjoy it. Another thing that has changed since this time last year is my choices in foods. I eat a lot healthier now, and it makes me feel a lot better than if I would constantly have junk food. I try to cut out things I don't need, for example, instead a dessert of ice cream after dinner, I'd replace it with something like fat-free yogurt with some fruit, which is a more satisfying, healthy choice.
Here is my lunch from yesterday, which was a grilled salmon sandwich with a side of grapes and some organic apple cider (I had already eaten half when I remembered the digital evidence).
I volunteer at the YMCA as a lifeguard/swimming teacher, which helps me connect with the community.
I enjoy this course a lot, and it's one of my favorite classes. I love challenges, and pushing myself in fitness. Things I don't like are long distance running. Even though it has gotten better as I learned how to pace myself, it is still not one of my favorite activities. Some of my personal goals are to improve my stamina, speed, and endurance, start doing yoga regularly, and to be able to push myself more when I'm working out. In conclusion, I think I deserve a G as my mark because I work hard and try my best.
