I am using the book I Got This! by Shelah Davis for my free choice blog today. Yes again. This book is very interesting and fun to read. I read Chapter 8 for my blog post today. Chapter 8 is call Keep it Simple. The author is pretty much telling you to keep it simple, don't call it a diet, don't say you can't eat something, don't count numbers to tell you if you are healthy or not. Living and eating healthier will help you. You don't need a scale to tell you if you are health. Numbers won't tell you that. You are different from everyone else. Your body is built different from everyone else bodies. I weight the same as my sister who is 13 but that doesn't mean shes fat or i'm fat. we just have different body types. My personal reaction to this chapter was its all true. Telling yourself you can't have something makes you want it more. Keep it all simple and have what you want in a healthy manner. I think what the author meant was to not base your health off of other people and numbers or phone apps, base it on your food choices and how you feel. you can be skinny but unhealthy. Being skinny is always what you want. I would much rather be health then skinny. 

My Free Choice will be about the book I Got This! By Shelah Davis.Yes I am writing about the book my mom wrote again. It’s a very interesting book plus the author is my mom! Who wouldn't want to read a book their own parent wrote? I read Chapter 10 Welcome Warrior. This is pretty much the end of the book explaining that people are going to look at you crazy for the things you are doing but you should smile and continue on doing what you are doing. It also explains that it’s your body and your choices. You aren't the same as everyone. The big message at the end of this book is Don't Stop Here! You Got This! My personal reaction to this chapter is that I am me, I'm not anyone else and I should continue being me and don't let anyone tell me otherwise. I believe the author’s intent of this chapter is that you are always going to be different and you should continue on and not worry so much about others. 

My Free choice blog today will be about the book I Got This! By Shelah Davis (my awesome mom) I read the first chapter and will be answering a few questions about it. The Main Idea of this book is Health. This chapter is about the choices in your fitness and health. There are three questions asked. Does it make sense? Is it true? And does it matter? Three question to ask yourself about what you will be doing to help your health. My personal reaction to reading this is that I didn't realize some of the things my mom knew. I didn't know all these people she has worked with and all the stuff she has done. She is a very big role model and I'm excited to keep reading and see what else there is that I don't know. I believe her intent was to have you think about what you do before you do it. Don't just jump into something now know what the effects are and how it will work with your body. You should always research it and make sure it’s not fake or bad for you. I see Order of Importance in this chapter. She is showing the readers important ideas to think about before starting their journey of health. I Recommend everyone reading this book because she is very straight forward with things. She is not gonna baby coat anything. 

I read a few articles from Yoga journal and what I learned from it is that yoga is very good for you. It’s not a girl only thing. It’s very healthy for you and helps you with many things. It can help you with your health, relieve stress, and very good stretches to do. Something I love about yoga is it doesn't matter what shape, size, age, or gender you are. You can also do yoga just about anywhere you are. My mom teaches an online yoga class so you can do yoga from your desk chair at work. One of the articles was about a few scientist doing yoga in the South Pole so they are still exercising while working and get to connect with each other. Another one was this mom and daughter combining yoga and writing in journals to help the younger girls feel comfortable in their own skins and feel better about themselves. My personal reaction to reading all this wasn't very exciting because I hear this kind of stuff all the time, but on the other hand it was really cool to read the different ways people yoga. My mom is a yoga instructor as well as a nutritionist. If I was to create notes to these articles I would use a Double Entry Journal. Because then I can put what I’m reading in one column and then my thoughts in the second column. To anyone reading this blog post, I highly recommend trying out yoga. 

On the quiz I got 16 points in fiction, 4 points in comedy and 5 in sports. This I believe fits me very very well. I really enjoy ready fictional books/stories. I find them really enjoyable because anything could happen in them. Adding the comedy on that is always a plus, who doesn’t like a good laugh? The 5 points in sports fits me as well. I’m not always into reading about them but playing and watching sports is always fun for me.

I believe that the last thing I read and really enjoyed was the book ‘Beastly’ I stayed up really late every night readying that book. I took it everywhere with me so I could just keep reading. I’m honestly not very big on reading, I didn’t learn how to read until 2^nd grade but I could not put that book down. I haven’t really read a book since that. I read fictional teen stories on my phone all the time though.
