Sun's Out Gun's Out

     Now that Prom's done for us Grade 11 students, we can finally eat whatever we want again ! Isn't that great? But wait...... SUMMER IS COMING. Something that we forgot about since we're too busy for Prom is that we also need to prepare our Summer Body! Majority of us will be heading to the beach for vacation this summer and of course you would want to look great don't you?? Well I can help with that for sure! I was a chubby little boy before until I decided to get up of my couch and work out. That means I've had a lot of experience in losing weight and I can give out some tips.

1. Always hydrate yourself with water and drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. Drinking water can boost up metabolism and can satisfy your urge to eat and keeps your system functioning. 
2. Get some sleep! As funny as it sounds, sleep deprivation may make you fat — and not just because you're susceptible to cases of the late-night food trip. So get to sleep as early as possible and avoid checking your phone all the time! 
3. Eat a big and balanced breakfast. Your breakfast should be your heaviest meal of the day since this will give you the energy for the rest of the day and having a heavy breakfast would help you avoid eating a lot during lunch and dinner. 
4. Take out food in advanced from your meal and save it for the next day when you go out and eat. Eating too much in a meal will give you a hard time to digest all the food you've eaten.

Here are the few EFFECTIVE tips that I've tried and tested and I were you go try it yourself right now! The earlier the better. Make sure to be consistent and I promise you'll get your Summer Bod in no time!

Living Healthy

    For sure a lot of us has been trying and trying to lose weight and get "in shape" for special occasions like Prom or to just simply look good at summer when you hit the beach but what does it really take to have that dream body of yours? The secret is having a healthy lifestyle! "Noooooo!" I know for a fact that most of us hates eating salad and fruits because let's face it, would you rather have a bowl of salad rather than a box if pizza? Of course not! I mean who couldn't resist a cheesy, very tasty and meaty pizza that melts in your mouth and as you take that first bite you already crave for another piece! It is no doubt that "bad food" or the ones that can possibly give us health problems are always the one that are so tasty.

    I've always been a fan of pizzas , burgers, and fries and I didn't care if I gained weight since I would always tell my self that I will burn it all in football practice. Even though I trained a lot, I never got that dream body that I always wished to have. I started being curious and I researched why I wasn't getting any better. It's of no surprise that it's all the processed food that had hindered me from achieving my goal body. From then on, I started searching about eating healthy and controlling meals. Turns out there are a lot of benefits of eating healthy like increase in metabolism, decrease in toxins in the body, controls weight, boosts energy and many more performance enhancing benefits. I started eating fruits and all kinds of vegetables and I had to stop eating processed food and sweets. My healthy living and football training has helped me a lot to get me close to my goal. I'm not there yet but if I'm consistent ill be there on time for summer.

    Fitness is a choice that we all have. The choice is yours whether you wan't to change something about yourself for the better. Living healthy is not hard. Our minds has created illusions inside us that salads tasted bad and eating healthy is a complete waste of time because we've eaten too much processed food and all those sweats. Wake up to reality and there you will find your escape. Start living.
