Do you like to travel? I used to.

Happy New Year everyone!

     What happens when you live with your parents and their house burns down? You end up spending three months bouncing between friends and family residences and hotels. I used to love to travel and spend the night in a hotel. Now I am so sick of spending almost every moment with other people. I miss my sanctuary of a bedroom. I have been looking for an apartment but with all of my college loans, I really don't have enough money to pay for an apartment too. My parents have been looking at houses in North Carolina and are about two weeks away from having a house just North of Myrtle Beach. My mom is almost begging me to stay with her while my father makes me feel like it would be better if I lived in my car. I know I would enjoy the change in scenery and living that close to the ocean I think would motivate me to exercise more. I can knowingly tell you that eating out is not good for you no matter where you eat. I may not have a scale but I can feel the extra weight.
      One of my many Christmas presents this year was a Canon T3i. I mention this because I found that it is a good source for exercising. When I visited the beaches in North Carolina, I was running around like a crazy person taking pictures. Just from walking on the beach for a little while, I can feel my breathing increasing. I love it. I know when I exercise I feel better afterwards and I always have a better nights sleep after exercising.

      Everyone makes New Year's resolutions and only 8% of people succeed in their resolutions. Aside from making a resolution to being one of the people who succeed in their resolutions, my resolution is to eat healthier. My thought process goes that if I eat healthier, I will have more energy to exercise and if I exercise more, I will be able to lose weight. This being said, I will check back in at the end of the year to see how I've done.

For now I will say Zai Jien which I believe is Mandarin for 'see you soon.'
