A break from school shouldn’t mean a break from good
eating and exercise habits. I know it’s
not impossible, but I will be the first to admit that it was tough staying in
shape and eating healthy all of the time during my first semester of
college. Since exams are over and I
wouldn’t have anything to study even if I wanted to, I have decided to dedicate
my Christmas break to getting back in shape and learning a few songs on my
guitar!
About getting in shape… it’s not just about improving
outer body image! Where that is really
important to me, being in shape is just as important for my inside. Having Diabetes, my body is already working
extra hard to make up for a non-functioning pancreas. Eating healthy and exercising goes hand in
hand with controlling blood sugar and ultimately reducing the wear and tear on my
organs!

excuses!!!
