My Job and Me

Unfortunately for me my writing does not supply me with a weekly paycheck, or bi-weekly depending on your place of work. Like everyone I must eat and live and to do that I need money, to get money I must have a job. Its not the best job in the world but it pays, it doesnt pay fabulously but it gets me by. I work for a gym and have been an employee here for over a year. In that time, like any job, I have retained knowledge pertaining to my surroundings.

As with my former job, a satanic petstore where I learned more about fish than I would have liked to. I still retain some of that knowledge, including one of the most funniest moments with my former co-worker Joe, where I learned how many inches a 10gallon fish tank is. Joe's answer was as follows "This woman wants to know how many inches a 10 gallon fish tank is"
"As big as my penis." Nice to know Joe's penis is 10inches high. Now back to the topic at hand.

At this job I need to be able to answer the members questions about fitness, health and other information that could affect their well being. So of course I am always reading up on the latest health trends, exercise programs, etc. etc. I find the best articles are found on Yahoo! They offer simple tidbits of information, such as articles on food that not only help with getting in shape but also life changing aspects including physical and mental health.

The reason I bring this up is Yahoo! recently posted two very interesting articles. The first one lists 5 things that everyone should know to keep their mind and body healthy as well as to help them in dieting. You can find their article here.
One word of advice I may offer is when reading these types of things don't follow them for a few months and them stop once you've lost weight. The best thing you can do for yourself is to make it a lifestyle change to better yourself.

The second is one most people would love, its about the benefits of drinking chocolate milk. I think that is something everyone can agree on as being awesome. That link is available here.

Don't worry the majority of my blogs will not be like this one I just couldn't help but share this advice with everyone seeing as how 1) I used to be overweight and unhealthy myself 2) I work in a gym where I am constantly coming across helpful info such as this 3) I have a few friends who are trying to get into shape and better themselves and would love this info 4) And my husband is also damn near Diabetic so I am always looking for anything I can to keep him healthy.
