So lab this week really inspired me in a way. I know that we all have different labs, and I'm not even sure if we all do the same things, but we did a lab on metabolism, where we factored our own caloric intake and output. My body only needs 1100 calories to carry out it's most basic functions. When I was in high school I was an athlete and a dancer. I was able to eat anything I wanted and it didn't matter. Now, after this lab I realized I have become rather sedentary. Not intentionally mind you, I enjoy going for hikes and being outside, but somewhere between 18 and 26 I became 'too busy' to do those things. Isn't that absurd?
So after this lab, I decided to take the reins again and get active, so that I can keep my body healthy and my heart strong. I was really glad that we got to do that lab. I think we all get 'too busy' at times and as Mainers, we all tend to hibernate a little. It was time for something to jolt me back to reality and take charge again. AHHH...the power of information!
