Major Motivation

Posted in Life, Television | January 7th, 2009

Normally, I would talking about video games, movies and etc. But I need to take a moment to talk about something that is far more important. Your health.

After watching just the first half hour of the new season of the Biggest Loser, I have already purged 95% of the candy and crap food in our house. Watching Jerry from the white team pass out after doing his own workout that he came up with was scary. I am five months pregnant and am working out (mild workouts) when I can, but I had some weight to lose before that, about 20 pounds. I lost 12 pounds due to extreme morning sickness and am at an okay weight right now, even for being pregnant.

But let’s face it, gamers are not usually known for their physicques. We’ve all heard the stereotypes, that we are lazy and we just sit on the couch drinking energy drinks and gaming all night. Whether these stereotypes are true for you or not, make sure that you are getting some exercise and eating healthy. If not for yourself, then for the thought that if you don’t take care of yourself, what bitchin games are you going to miss out on when you are dead.

Sorry to sound doomsdayish or morbid, but it is January and people are thinking more about their health. I would just hate to see another person from our gaming community be lost.
