I am back from my Labor Day off and happy to see everyone here. I had a great time just relaxing and taking care of myself for the day. There was no pressure to get anything done. I took time for me. I enjoyed the day. It 's not often that I get just for me moments. I spent two hours walking, enjoying nature, and the morning in general.
If you know me then you know that I 'm diligent about maintaining my weight, and I try not to allow it to fluctuate more than a couple of pounds. I try not to snack, and eat only when I 'm hungry. I try to drink plenty of water. I try not to sit for too long. I try to add higher fiber foods, and more protein to my meals. I exercise every day.
This isn 't a one hundred percent vanity thing, although …show more content…
I exercise for an hour. I do cardio: running outdoors, walking, and bicycling. I do bodyweight exercise. I lift using free weights. I have not paid for a gym membership in ages because everything I need I have at home. I have an incredible running trail that starts right behind my home and leads to an area beside the petroglyphs, the city provides this to me, and all of its residence. It 's a public trail, and it sees a lot of traffic. It 's a safe area for me to run.
Being outside is important to me. Nature is important to me. This planet is important to me.
I 'm not an environmentalist per se, but I do believe that if you can take preventative steps to save the planet you should do it. We have plenty of renewable resources, there is no logical reason to cut down a forest when we can recycle the paper the tree we cut down before it created. I feel the same way about driving when you are close enough to walk to your locations. The cost of gas is ridiculous, and that is why I limit the amount I drive. The water company just punished the entire city with a rate hike for conserving too much water; they failed to meet their quota. So yes, I am about finding better energy resources that benefit the community and the environment, not punish them. I do have environmental goals, but I 'm not an extreme radical in the way I present them. For me, I enjoy being in and around nature, and I don 't like the idea of our planet being destroyed …show more content…
I believe we should be treating each other with respect and dignity, regardless of what country we live in. Human Rights is a touchy subject to talk about because not everyone country has the same rights as the country I live in, and many don 't understand what these rights mean.
I don 't talk politics, but I vote in every election. There is nothing more sacred than the right to vote. I do have a vision as to how I 'd like to see our nation evolve. My voice is in my vote. I am registered to a party, but that doesn 't mean my vote is limited to that party.
I believe in animal rights, but I 'm not going to tell someone not to slaughter a cow when I just ate a steak. I am not a vegetarian. I understand that we raise certain animals as a food source. I also understand that an overpopulation of any creature can destroy an entire ecosystem. On the reverse, killing off an entire population of animals can also have negative effects on the ecosystem. Killing off an animal for the sake of a trophy, or a tusk to make trinkets, makes no sense to
