A how to guide to exercising: Killing twelve birds (problems) with six stones (solutions)

Take a pyrex container, dump whatever you want into it and put it in the fridge. When you get hungry, take it out of the fridge. Apples and peanut butter/Carrots and ranch are two (fairly) healthy suggestions.

-Problem: Too much homework/no time to do homework

-Solution: Do homework before bed

You will get tired naturally from doing homework which will help you sleep, and you will also get homework done. Win-win.

Problem: Not enough time to go shopping

Problem: Need lunch

-Solution: Walk down to the store and purchase a meal

While you are there, pick up groceries and other ingredients for meals as well. You go shopping, you get a break, and you get lunch. win-win-win

Problem: No energy

Problem: Drinking too much coffee/Trying to drink less coffee

Solution: Natural chocolate with nuts

You can buy this at your local grocery store. I find this helps me maintain energy, and it is actually beneficial to your health to eat a square of this chocolate because of the antioxidants. Be sure to get the natural kind. Hershey's doesn't have the same benefits.

Problem: Nothing to do

Problem: Need a change in atmosphere

Solution: Reorganize your room

Amazing how refreshed you'll feel just doing something a little differently/living a little differently. Move furniture and open up space. Put in an exercise area. Whatever you want, it is your room after all.
