Introduction

Hi! Everyone

            My name is Vy.  I am an international student from Vietnam. After graduating high school, I came to Fraser International College to start my new journey.  This is my third semester here and I hope to transfer to Simon Fraser University in summer term.  I love adventures and learning about new things in life so I would like to make new friends and enjoy life as much as possible.  I am currently a business student with a strong interest in health issue.  Taking Kinesiology this term ,I hope that I can know how to live a healthy and purposeful life while doing my degree in a brand new environment.

             This is my first blog for Kinesiology class and I will talk about healthy weight.  From my point of view, maintaining a healthy weight is really important for people in order to be able to keep track with a fast-paced life.  Healthy weight helps people stay fit so they can participate in many activities outside their work life.  However, this blog is aiming at young adults that are around my age and struggling with their weights.  I used to be overweight and I did not know how to go on a right diet.  It took me a long and enduring time to get back in shape.  During that period, I tried to limit eating while taking some pills to help reduce weight.  As a result, I suffered from serious stomachache and lack of energy to study.  Hence, I learned that keeping healthy weight does not mean to be skinny.  There are so many young adults skipping meal and over-exercising in order to lose weight to have a perfect shape as fast as possible.  Consequently, they might get into some problems such as lack of energy or sore muscles.

         By doing this blog, I hope to learn more about maintaining a healthy weight through appropriate dietary ways and exercises.  It is very important for young adults to stay healthy and being in good shape in order to participate in more daily activities and have more endurance with pressure from school and work.  We are in the stage of growing so it is very important for us to maintain a very healthy life because it will allow us to have more energy for studying and pursuing our dreams.  Last but not least, in doing this type of research, I hope to improve my skill in finding the right information from vast media.  I hope that people that read my blog will pay more attention to their health instead of trying to be skinny.
