It is always fun to look back at happy memories. Happy memories that can make you smile, sigh, go nuts, go cranky, and you may even find yourself holding onto your tummy because you couldn’t stop the laughter. Memories are special tokens from the past and it becomes a part of the person you are today. Pictures are medium to lingering memories of the past. You will see how much you have grown physically and emotionally. Physically because obviously you have grown taller and skinnier, it is like you are being stretched like an elastic band and you may also have grown into the attractive being, you are today. But the emotional piece of the story might be puzzling to you. Let me share my journey with you.

I got the chance, after 20 long years of not browsing my photo album as a child, to once more take a look at all the pictures and reminisce. It was almost hilarious to have a glimpse of the past. How I looked, how thin I was and how thinner I became during my adolescent years. I could never imagine I accumulated all these fats looking like this today. But there are some things you will find out if you look clearer into the picture, the emotions. The happiness as a kid, the sadness, the unsatisfied look – everything you can see in a picture. I have this picture that I was muddy all over after a game of egg hunt, I ended up with three eggs and all that mess – and I looked so happy. To date, egg hunting is still a popular Easter game. I would like to compare this to my nephew’s photo, same age as mine in my old picture, but after a paintball game. He has the same grin as mine, he looks really happy dripping with paintball paint-squirts and mud. I never get the chance to play paintball in my younger years but I can see through my nephew’s pictures how he enjoyed it. I realized how I have grown as that child who seems happy and contented with little things. And how also little things made me cry as a child – taken in a snap, all documented! I let my nephew see the pictures and he almost leaped with excitement at seeing his pictures at the paintball field. I brought him to play with me. I was excited and he is too. I want to experience this game also. I really enjoyed, I can say as much as my nephew did. We captured pictures of us together. We were both extremely happy.

Again, another documented event in my life, it was like in my childhood. I felt happy having this picture playing paintball, which at least I could show my kids later on – the happy and emotion-filled childhood I’ve had not too many years ago. It is unexplainable how an old picture can bring so much laughter and happiness.

Where are most of the health and figure conscious people found? In the gym working out, on the streets running or brisk walking, along the bleachers doing some stretches, in the field doing their sports activities, on the table having green and leafy veggies with a pitcher of warm water, on the bed doing sit ups. You rarely find these kinds of people doing nothing. They will most likely be found busy doing physically straining activities. They too are hard working employees but they always make time for working out. Being stuck in an office all day is too boring and working out, for some, is a fun way to re-charge. They find working out as the best cure for their busy-work-week migraines.

They may be very busy with working out but they never lose the chance to try the popular games of today, one of them is paintball. Who would lose the chance of trying one of the most popular extreme games of today, paintball that is? Even bookworms might give up their book to play an exciting game. What more the health-inclined-individuals? Most of them are found in the paintball fields crawling, rolling over, running and haunting their opponents. Paintball is one great stress reliever. Who says playing is not working out? Sometimes you need to enjoy what you are doing to be able to sustain the routine. Paintball makes a totally different and new enjoyable way of working out. There are other ways like basketball or volleyball or any game that would bring the fats and oils that you have consumed in your lifetime. Badminton or tennis would also compliment your every desire to get that figure you desire.

But comes with working out is a strict discipline in dieting because why burden yourself with so much physically straining activities when you are not eating right. It is most likely that you work out for the reasons of trying to eliminate what you had in the three meal courses for today. You may have the wrong reasons and the wrong intentions. There are many rewarding benefits of working out aside from getting that sculpt you want, you also relieve yourself from fatigue and depression and release your natural endorphins. It helps you go the distance and never feel tired. It helps you lift your weight and battle obesity that has been infesting the majority, worldwide. Exercise also improves blood circulation and makes our bones strong as we age. Our blood vessels and heart become strong and healthy. Working out provides so many benefits. We develop toughness, strength, balance, flexibility and endurance. It makes some work-related stress and us resistant to fatigue. Do a variety of activities at a different time so that the routine will not bore you leading you to a total halt to your healthy practices. Make your health, your priority and drop the vices that are keeping you from staying at the peak of your health.
