Everybody knows that soda is bad for your body. It has a lot of sugar and can lead to weight gain, heart disease and even diabetes. But does it cause violence? A study found that teens who consumed more soda were more likely to carry weapons or be in fights at school.
I think this is totally bogus. I grew up drinking a lot, I mean, A LOT of soda. But I never felt the urge to carry a weapon or hurt anyone. I was very caring and quiet. I never had the urge to do drugs, go drinking, and other careless activities. I do, however, believe that the sugar can affect the way our body reacts. We become sluggish and might have a caffeine addiction that is hard to break.
Maybe we should be more worried about soda effecting our teenager's health in the sense of diabetes and heart disease.

For the better
This week has been about reevaluating my life. My best friend found a boyfriend so I've been on my own. Yes, I have other friends but we did everything together. So in turn, I have found myself to have a lot more free time. I sat down one day and just made a list of possible activities to take up my newly found alone time. Here's what I came up with. My homework is my first priority. School is happening now. I have to do this now. I will have time for relationships after school is over. I'm in no hurry. Secondly, I need to practice my clarinet more. I have the potential to be a fantastic musician and I don't want to let that pass me by. And lastly, I need to improve my health. I'm comfortable in my own skin and I and only I have the power to change that. I want to better myself in every way possible. I'm a beautiful, amazing, and strong woman. I can do this.
I love the woman to death, but I do not want to end up like my mom...
Wish me luck!

Uhh....What? Ew.

I know this is a little risque to be putting up as a blog but no nudity was shown and I found this to be a little odd.
A porn star who also give instructions at a skydiving facility posted a video on his personal blog of him and the secretary of the facility having sexual relations, starting in the plane and then continuing while "falling". The police were investigating but have found that no one witnessed this event first hand so no "public nudity" charges could be filed. However, they were endangering the life of the pilot which is against aviation regulation.
This. Is. Crazy. I could say so many things...
I will say this. More power to you for wanting and actually going through with it. But keep it to yourself. Those types of videos are known for getting out there to people who do not need to be seeing things like that. Who knows what his true intentions were for posting that? Only him. But I will agree with the fact that he and his "partner" did risk the life of the pilot. Men are men. People are people. Anybody would look and most would want to keep looking.
For the future, Keep your private affairs private.

Pregnant Moms Running Marathons?!
http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/10/11/should-pregnant-moms-take-on-endurance-challenges/?hpt=he_t4
A woman, who was pregnant at full term, ran/walked her 8th marathon. After finishing the race, she went into labor. She joked that giving birth was harder than doing the marathon but doctors compare the two by saying that in both events, the heart rate goes up and your adrenaline kicks in.
Exercise is good for pregnant women. It keeps them healthy and fit but specialist say that it doesn't hurt the baby due to the protection the mother's body provides. However, it is strongly suggested that pregnant women avoid contact sports for obvious reasons.
I was in awe by this woman. I can't even run a quarter of a mile let alone 26 miles AND go into labor for 7 hours. No way. I'm glad that she didn't run the entire distance, though. She and her doctors knew what was good for the baby and for herself. I believe that if I loved it, I would run a marathon while pregnant. Maybe not a week after being considered full-term but maybe in the first or second trimester.

My Thoughts...
Somethings that go on in my life don't make sense. I do a lot of things that don't make sense. I always wonder why I do or don't do things. I'm old enough to know better but I keep doing them. I guess I'm just afraid of the outcome. I'm afraid of failing. I'm afraid that what I do isn't ever enough. I just can't talk myself into going out on a limb and risking my life. I feel that my self-image has a lot to do with that. Some days I will look in the mirror and think, "Dang, girl! You're lookin' fine!" The next day it could be, "Ugh. Just give me a mu-mu to hide underneath. I've realized that in my head, I feel that I need an outside reason to be confident in myself. I feel that I need a boyfriend to help me feel good about myself but in the reality of things, I should want to feel good for myself.
There's nowhere to go but up, right?
