Where is my Energy??? Here is how I will find it!

Waking up in the morning and unable to get out of bed is frustrating. During the typical morning I hit the snooze button at least twice, so when I get up I am rushing around to be to class or work on time. This is something I desire to change. I believe this is the outcome of having no energy. Like the typical college student, I am on the go 24/7. If I am not working or in class, I am doing homework or trying to have a social life. Which let me explain is nonexistent because I moved to Des Moines from another town and all of my close friend are not near. Finding the time to eat is nearly impossible. This is where fast food becomes handy. Fast food is my easy fix for when I am hungry and do not have the time to cook, nor do I have the knowledge. Needless to say it is probably my answer to why I have no energy. I can’t blame all of my problem on fast food. I’m sure not exercising is part of it. I am on a quest to find the energy within me.
This is not going to be an easy task to complete. So I have set some strict rules for myself to follow. Rule number one, I must physically cook a minimum of one meal a day. This would mean there is no need for fast food. Rule number two work out three times a week. Hopefully, this will build my stamina. Rule number three, drink more water, to be specific eight glasses a day. Rule number four run at least one mile a week. Although these tasks maybe challenging, I hope it will give me the energy I desire.
I will have to overcome several challenges during this quest. The most challenging is to manage my time so I am able to complete the quest efficiently. As a full- time student, and part-time employee I will have to be firm and stick to my plan, and make a schedule so I am able to still have a life. Another challenging part of the quest is avoiding fast food. I will have to pack a lunch each day when I know I will not have enough time to eat. So I can avoid the temptation. These are the challenges of my quest.
I believe there will be numerous beneficial out comes. I do want to make it clear that my goal is not to lose weight, but to gain energy. I believe that I will lose weight during the quest which is going to be an added bonus. Another benefit that I will gain from the quest is more money. Eating out daily is expensive and eliminating the expensive will be great. Another great bonus is knowledge I will gain. I am cooking a new meal daily this will give me a lot of knowledge for when I am out on my own. An additional outcome would be better sleep. Having a great work out will allow me to sleep effectively. The final outcome that I will contain is meeting new people. By working out at the dmacc gym, I hope to meet new people to have friendships with. These are all great outcome from my quest.
I believe my quest is incredibly significant for many reasons. One reason it is significant is it is going to help me get ahead in life. My quest is going to prevent me from procrastinating any longer. It will change my spirit and my health. Overall my quest is going to help me have a better life style. These are all great reasons why my quest is significant.
