When I was in high school I did sports all year round. From August through November it was football. Then I would start wrestling until march. Then I would do track from march until June. Then I would spend the rest of the summer till football started doing my weight training every morning and my running in the evening to keep myself improving until the season started all over again. This was the way my life was ruled from sixth grade up until I graduated from high school. At that point I knew that I was not desirous of a college sports career so I stopped doing sports. Now I focus mainly on keeping myself in shape both for my physical and mental health. I feel that the big key to my academic success thus far has really been the clarity and focus provided to me by my countless hours of time training my mind and body. At this point though it is a bit harder for me to keep myself motivated to try beyond a certain point because there is no tangible goal for me to reach for when doing these exercises and routines. In my two years here at school I have noticed that my energy level has dropped and that my general fitness has declined as a result of having no reason to push myself too hard.

Within the last month though I have found myself a personal motivator. One of the big signs of my drop in fitness has been the fifteen pounds that I have put on since leaving high school. It doesn't show too much when I look in the mirror but when I step on the scale I do feel that I have been slipping. My solution has been to take these new kind of diet pills my trainer at the gym offered to me. These pills have given me tons of energy and I have actually dropped about four pounds since I started taking them. These diet pills aren't my miracle cure or anything, but they have been exactly what I have needed to get me off my but and out on my bike or in to the weight room. My goal now is to get back to my old weight and possibly beyond.
