This week I did not get a lot of exercise time in because it was the last week before finals and I felt I had to give a lot of my time and effort into school this week since there was a lot of last minute exams and assignments that were due this week. But I still wanted to get at least a little bit of time in. I still exercised on Monday for half and hour, and I still exercised a little bit on Friday to relive some stress from the week, and to also get ready for finals next week. I did feel a little better on Friday after my short exercise period, I felt the stress from this week was lifted off my shoulder, but I knew I still had to mentally prepare myself Saturday and Sunday for finals next week. I did not think about it too much because I did not want to bring back the stress that I had already released from Friday.

12/01/18 I did not exercise today because today was my birthday. 

12/02/18 I was recovering from my birthday party the whole day so I did not exercise today.

I knew this week was my birthday, and I knew I wouldn’t be getting any exercise on or after my birthday. Because of this I knew I had to get as much exercise as I could in beforehand. Monday and Wednesday I got back into my usual workout schedule since Thanksgiving break was over, and I made sure to for sure get some exercise in on Friday before my birthday before I ate a lot of food with family, have some cake, and also a drink or two with my friends. 

11/19/18 Exercised for 30 minutes

11/22/18 Today was thanksgiving so I definitely did not even think about exercising today. 

11/23/18 Did not exercise today 

11/24/18 I finally came to my senses and walked for an hour and then exercised again for another half an hour

11/25/18 Went for a hike today for about an hour and a half 

Even though this week was thanksgiving break, I knew I couldn’t get off track with exercising this week. What I ended up doing after Thanksgiving was I took a drive up to big bear. When I was up there I knew i would be able to get exercise in by going on nature walks in the trails before they closed for the snow season, and also walking around the neighborhoods for a while as well. At first it was difficult because of the thin air, and I felt myself getting out of breath quicker than usual, but the more time I spent walking up there, the quicker I got used to the thin air, and It made it easier for me to burn calories because i would would push myself to keep going. Big bear is one of the best places to exercise in my opinion. A lot of professional athletes train up there in the thin air so that they could get in great shape, that way when they come back down the mountain to compete, they feel unstoppable, and that is exactly how I wanted to feel for the short time I was up there. I felt a lot of positive change in myself while I was hiking up there, plus i was getting a dose of vitamin D.
