My Garden

On Friday I picked out one of my carrots, since all my peas died, and they are so tiny! I am not sure if they are ready to be eaten (I tried to eat it but it was too hard) but they are definitely the only things sprouting in my garden. I took pictures but my sd card on my phone is not working =/ I'll take more pics when I get home from spring break!! =]]

Enjoy your break everyone and continue to work in healthy habits such as not drinking soda/empty calories, fast food, fattening foods, and not exercising!

Competition!

If any of you have not heard, many seniors at Bioscience High School have been doing Insanity Workout! If you don't know what the Insanity workout is, it is a workout video routine that is said as advertised to get you in shape. The commercials look awesome so I'm guessing that is why so many people at our school has begun to try it. I am not advocating to begin the Insanity workout because I have no idea how it works, but I do understand when people exercise together it becomes easier. May be you and your friends can begin a competition of  your own to increase the amount of time and days you work out!

30 Day Challenge!!!

Try keeping track of how much time you spend exercising for one month.

You should be working out between 30-45 minutes. Running, biking, lifting weights, yoga, and any other exercise that gets your heart racing is a great way to start. Try to make time for exercising, for example, if you're watch TV lift weights, do crunches, jumping jacks or anything as your watching your show.

In your agenda or some form of a calendar, log how long you exercised for and if it was a light or heavy work out.
Come up with creative ways to get your body moving and share them with others!

Heart Disease and your Teeth!!!

I went to the dentist earlier this week and the assistant asked if I floss. I do occasionally and she said it's very important to floss because research suggest plaque buildup in your teeth could contribute to heart disease. She said the bacteria in your feel continues to build up and the bacteria affects your heart. Flossing gets rid of some of the plaque and bacteria and could decrease one factor of getting heart disease.

Obesity is also associated with heart disease due to the fat in your body could be used as an energy source and when it travels through your veins it could build up and block blood flow from getting to the heart. Plaque build up constricts your veins and could cause damage or tissue death to your heart. Obesity contributes to a lot of other diseases that are life threatening.

Today

Gardening at the Grow House began 12 minutes ago! I wanted to go today but I let someone use my bus card so now I have no way of going =/

If you have nothing to do today you should head over to the Grow House. They garden from 10:00-2:00 so you have enough time to make it there! =]]

Surprise!

 I came home to my garden looking like this....










I think a neighborhood cat did it! =/










Now I have to re plant four of my plants. All of them were growing so well... I hope it doesn't happen again!
