I have been fealing pretty crummy lately, i don't know why though. I just got a little sick on Monday and it was getting worse until this morning. I have a sore throat, runny nose, im coughing alot, i must just be coming down with something. I havent exercised so far this week. Im going to see how i feel in the morning, but im trying to go for a run with a bunch of kids from my school and my personal fitness teacher, Mr. Contois, and my dad. Its a trail run over on these mountain biking trails in the next town over. The run is a 3 mile loop, through the woods in the dark. Im very excited and im looking forward to feeling better...


I guess im doing something right but i've been losing alot of weight...i havent really changed my diet all that much but i have been working out and i was sick for a few days.

Crazy Legs and Grizzly

Today i am very sore from doing the two workouts this week called Crazy Legs and Grizzly. I was so sore this morning when i woke up, my back was really weak, my calf's were burning with every step, and i was just overall exhausted. I wonder what im doing later in personal fitness later...I hope nothing to painful but im sure it will be.

Back Squat 5x5

I did a great lower body workout yesterday in personal fitness, back squat. A back squat is essentially a parallel squat with a bar and weight on your upper back, almost on your deltoids. This is a picture of what the correct form would look like.....   

I did pretty good with this workout starting with 95-105-135-135-145 not a bad workout at all, I was really feeling it in my quads this morning when I woke up ha ha.

I have been losing allot of weight recently, i don't really know why, because i have been eating just as much as i was before, and i hadn't really changed my diet at all, so it must be all the working out.

YMCA Workout

Yesterday at the ymca i did some running and weight training. I started with a 1.5mi run on the treadmill, and 5 min on the oliptical. After warming up i set up the bar for doing push-press, i did 5x5 95-95-105-115-115. After doing pushpress i did some deadlifts, and then i streched and i was done. it was a pretty solid workout, im still fealing it this morning so i guess thats good. I am also very happy that my right foot has stopped hurting for a while. I dont know what happened but its better now.

Running

So yesterday when i was running i hurt my ankle running near my friends house. I don't know what happened or how it happened, but basically i was running and my ankle just sort of locked up and got really stiff and tight. I walked home and just took it easy. I was hopping it would feel better this morning but it still hurt. I can't participate in personal fitness now...im kinda bummed. I hope it stops hurting soon.

Workout at the YMCA

Me and my friend wen't over to the ymca two days ago and did pretty much a full body workout. We started with a half mile warm-up. We then did some weight lifting, we did push-press. We did 3 sets of 10-8-6 reps. We started at 70lbs and added 10lbs each set. After we did some weight training we did 3 rounds of 25 sit-ups, 10 push-ups, 30sec plank, and 50squats....it was a slolid workout.

weight: 219.6lbs
height : 73 3/4in.

Mile Run

So in personal fitness yesterday we re-ran the mile, and i ran it alot faster than i normally did. My previous time was 8:59 and my new time is 8:24. I'm pretty excited for such a time drop...Im gonna keep bringing that time down!!!

Recent Exercising

Yesterday we did the workout Ralph in personal fitness. Ralph is the simplest W.O.D. ever. All it requires you to do is 50 burpees for time. The warm-up for the workout was to do 3 rounds of 50 jumping jacks, 400m run, and 25 sit-ups and a samson. It was a pretty good workout, my time was 4:02....I think i could have done a little better if i just try harder.

Today for a W.O.D. in personal fitness i did the same workout as ralph except with body squats for time.
I did some walking and running over the weekend, I ran 2.5miles on the treadmill at the ymca. and i walked to and from my girlfriends house like 5 times. I would say she lives around a 1/4 mile away....

Weight: 214.2
Height: 73 1/2

Final Countdown

The final countdown is a W.O.D. made of only two different exercises. Burpees and Box-Jumps. The Order in which you preform the exercises is where it gets interesting. You do 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, or 10 Box-Jumps, and 10 Burpees. Then 9 Box-Jumps, and 9 Burpees. Then 8 of each and so on....

It was an interesting W.O.D. for sure. I enjoyed  the fast pace agility needed to get this workout done as fast as possible. I'm looking forward to the workout im doing next period. I don't know  what were going to be doing but i hope it is a weight lifting exercise.

Food and dieting

I have been trying to keep up with my campaign of eating healthy. Recently i had so bad choices in my diet, but i have also had some really good choices too. On race day last Sunday i had an omelet with whole wheat toast on the side. Later that day i had a banana before the race, and then an iced coffee after the race. For dinner that day i had a plate of Chinese food at the buffet near my house.

The next day i had cereal for breakfast before school. For lunch a roast beef sandwich, and for dinner i had chicken and asparagus with mashed potatoes.

Yesterday i had some buttered toast for breakfast, and another roast beef sandwich form the cafeteria, and for dinner i had pizza at the California Pizza Kitchen in Boston because i went into the city to see The Doors with Ray Manzerak and Bobby Krieger, I had a lot of fun.

Weight and Height

Weight: 218.6lbs
Height: 73 3/4in

I am feeling good about my race yesterday. I had fun at the race. I can't wait to do the turkey gobble wobble 5k road race on Thanksgiving Day. The race yesterday was very intimidating in many ways, it had long straight aways, and massive inclines on the hills. I still enjoyed the race though. I feel like i haven't had enough races to quit, so i am definitely going to have to sign up for some more road races, and keep training on the track.

5k Run......

Hey just wanted to talk about the 5k road race i ran earlier around 1 o'clock.  It went pretty well, the course was awful though. Too many hills and turns. I was having a hard time with the hills and dealing with all of the thinking of slowing down and speeding up with everyones pace. I tried to set my own pace but i just couldn't. My time was 37:28. I was hopping for a time aorund 30min. I am happy that i ran the 5k, i think i will def have to do another race soon.....

I am getting ready for dinner with my grandparents...time to hit the buffet!!!!

5k run

Hey just wanted to say i am so excited to run my first 5k race on Sunday. The race is only 10 min away from my house, and it starts at 1:00. I think its going to be a good run, i think i will do good towards the beginning and i think if i pace myself, and focus on my breathing, i will do fine.

I am so sore from the last couple of days of exercising. Yesterday i went to the YMCA after school to do some weight lifting, and a little bit of cardio too. I went from running a mile on the treadmill to doing some cross-fit exercises, and then power lifting. I did dead lifts into a clean and squat; 5 sets of 5 reps. After i did the cleans, i did 5 sets of push-press.

Height: 73.25
Weight: 218.2

5K Race Training and Planning

So i am planning to run a 5k run  in shrewsbury MA, on Nov. 16th. I decided that a goal would be a good thing right now. I need something i can practice and train for. The race is a 5k run, through shrewsbury. The race is a charity event for remembering veterans. I am probably going to invite my dad, becuase he hasn't seen my improvment yet.

here is a link to the race and map to show the 5k loop:

Thruster 5x5

Hey, i wanted to just talk a little about a workout i am doing soon. The workout is a power lifting exercise called a thruster. It is basically a front squat into a push-press. I'm anxious, because i don't really know what i can do for weight on this workout, I'm gonna shoot for 95, and then go from there. I also will prob hold back a little bit; i tweaked my knee yesterday skateboarding.

Here is an example of a thruster:

Height and Weight

hey just wanted to update my height and weight:

-Weight: 223.8
-Height: 73 7/8

Pet Rock

I love this W.O.D., it is the most challenging workout i have done in a while. It is a partner workout so you need two people to do the w.o.d. To do this workout, one person holds a 45lb plate, your "pet rock,"and the other person goes through a set of different exercises. Each person does 3 rounds of holding the plate, and doing the set exercises. The set exercises are Sit-ups, box jumps, wall balls, jump ropes, and walking lunges. You have to do 50 reps of each workout. Me and my partners time was 40:41, so not bad, we finished 3rd to last with about 10 groups. It was a fun workout and I'm looking forward to doing it again.

5k Run

Yesterday in personal fitness the W.O.D. or workout of the day was just a simple yet challenging workout, a 5k. A 5k is a 3.1 run for time. We had under 36 min to complete it. My time running the 5k was 31:28min for the hole thing. My goal by the end of the year is to get that around 20min; i want to beat my dad's time.

Yesterday i had a turkey/roast beef sandwich with milk and water to drink. For dinner i had a small cheese steak from Grafton Pizza, with water to drink. I can't help but having one of those steak and cheese subs every once and a while. My weigh in for this week: Weight-223.4lbs Height-73.5in.

Bencher's Delight

            Today in personal fitness we did a workout called Bencher's Delight, for all those tough guys who think they are good at benching. This workout is insane. The workout requires you to do 21 reps of benching, 21 burpees, 15 reps of benching, 15 burpees, and then 9 res of benching, and 9 reps of burpees. You can use any weight, all though you should stay under 115lbs. This hole thing is timed, my time was 8:46. Not bad, could be a little better.

My food Intake

            So yesterday for dinner i had a chopped chicken ceaser salad at Apple Bee's. For breakfast i had nothing....yet, and a medium coffee at Dunkin' Donuts. For lunch I'm gonna try and eat healthy with a sandwich, and for dinner I'm gonna try and make a salad with salmon on top...

Food Intake

            So i am going to start posting on my blog everything i eat and consume. I am going to start with what i ate on Sunday. For breakfast i had a piece of toast and butter, then orange juice. I had a bowl of ramen noodles with water for lunch and then for dinner i had a burger at the restaurant "not you average Joe's," in Westboro on route 9, for those of you who actually know where route 9 is. The burger was probably the greatest thing i have ever gotten at a chain restaurant. It was called the Blue burger, and had blue cheese, caramelized onions, and arugula on a roll. It was so good.

            Well for breakfast today i had a "cliff bar" which is just an organic protein bar and an energy drink. I will never ever have an energy drink again, it was literally the grossest thing i have ever drank.  For lunch i hada roast beef sandwich and a chocolate milk.

W.O.D. Grizzly+Running

            So today in my personal fitness class we did a workout, a particularly hard one, called grizzly. In this workout grizzly you must do 4 rounds of core and lower body exercises for time. So bassically you start the workout out with a 400m run, or once around the track, then you do 20m of walking lunges. After the walking lunges and running you go into what i find the hardest and most challenging part of the workout, the sit-ups, bear crawl, and then sit-ups again. When doing the sit-ups we are supposed to do 25. After the sit-ups we did a 20m bear crawl, and then one last set of sit-ups. You do 4 rounds of this for time! It is a really challenging workout and one of my least favorites because it feels like its never gonna end. But i finished with a time of 21:46.


            After that personal fitness class i had another one with the same scheduled workout. Instead of reapeating that diabolical "grizzly" workout i just did, i just did a mile and a half for time. My time on that was a solid 16:11, i was focusing on my breathing and pace. I think i did pretty good, but i am definately looking forward to smoking that time in the future.

Walking vs. Running Weight Loss

           Does running burn more calories than walking? The answer is there is no difference, it all depends on how far and how fast you run or walk. A study shows that a runner jogging at 5mph for one mile and a walker walking at 5mph for a mile burn almost the same amount of calories, within 2 calories of 116 calories burned. In another study  they recorded the MET or metabolic equivalents of various activities ranks each activity by calories per kilogram per hour. Just sitting burns 1 MET, if you are 150lbs that's 68 calories every hour. When they tested whether or not you burn more calories by running than walking they found that no matter how you test it, the information you gather is invalid, because there is another variable. How far or how long you run/ walk. So if you want to loose weight just plan a nice long run or walk and it all comes down to preference really.

Presidential Fitness Test

          Hey just wanted to talk about the presidential fitness test, which is just a set guideline that the president thinks all grade-school kids should be able to achieve. So there is a few different work-outs that the president requires you to do. There is a mile run, sit-ups, sit and reach, pull ups, and shuttle run. As the week goes by, i will post what the workout is and what you have to do to succeed in the workouts. The only workout i have done so far is the Mile run. I ran a mile  mid-week last week, and ran it around 10:28. After that mile i ran the presidential fitness mile a week or so later and ran it in 9:17! Since i have two classes that i have to run the presidential fitness mile i ran it again this morning, and i ran the mile in 8:59. I dropped around 1:30 in a week of running.
          I also measured my height and weight again, i am 221.6lbs, and 73 3/8in tall. I am gonna keep on pushing and keep on trying my best....

         Hey and check out this youtube vid i found the other day of some guy kite boarding and it went terribly wrong....its really scary yet sorta funny too.

Front Squats 10x5

             My least favorite power lifting exercise. It requires you to hold the bar right above you clavicle or caller bone and hold the bar with you finger tips and wrist bent back words. Here is a link to show the correct form of a front squat. http://www.exercise-x.com/exlib//76/view/4
             Then after you hold the bar and everything correctly you just simply squat downwards and come back up, the key is to have your upper thighs parallel to the ground. I did 5 sets of ten reps and my weight was 70,70,70,70,75, I had a really hard time with pushing the weight back up, and my form wasn't bad but it wasn't the best thing ever.

Shoulder Press 10x5

            Today i had two workouts in a row this morning...Shoulder press and front squats. When i was doing shoulder press i held back on the weight and worked on my form a bit, because i have been a little sloppy with that workout. I did 5 sets of 10 reps, my weights were 65-65-70-70-75. It was a really hard workout because you thin to yourself, "oh only 70lbs, that's nothing," but on you sixth or seventh rep it feels like the weight has doubled since you started that set.

Height and Weight

                   Hey Just wanted to do another quick update on my Height and Weight, My height is 73.25 and my weight is 220.4lbs.         

The Great Pyramid

           The great pyramid, a diabolical concoction of lower body and core exercises compiled together to make a pyramid of exercise. It starts with a set of 50 squats, and ends on a set of 50 squats, but whats in the middle of these two sets is just evil ha ha. This is the workout........for time.

50 squats

400m run

50 sit-ups

800m run - the top of the pyramid

50 sit-ups

400m run

50 squats

           It was a truely grueling workout, here is a short clip of me doing this workout first person...



My Weekend

                 Hey, i just wanted to talk about my weekend and share all the fun stuff i did, and that i am looking forward to doing in the future. This past weekend was very busy. It was homecoming week at my school and there was so much going on. I started the weekend by watching our high school's football team loose our homecoming game 14-0 on Friday night. The next day was a very very fun day. It was the day of the homecoming dance. I went for a short  1.5 mile run which took about 25min or so, around my neighborhood. It was a fun little run but i got tired fast. Sunday i spent the hole day suffering from a headache, so i just sat back and relaxed the hole day.
                I also wanted to talk about my goals again and just reflect on how I'm doing with succeeding and surpassing those goals. My goals were to fullfill Mr. Contois' and my expectations when it comes to the training, and do other simple thing like pull ups, and run long distance with more ease. I have been running further then i normally do, and have been getting faster and faster with my mile runs and 5k's that i have tried to run on the treadmill before at the YMCA in the next town over. I intend to keep up this work and surpass my hopes and expectations.

Back Squat 5x5 and Shoulder Press 10x5

Today I did a lower body workout. I did Back Squats which is just like a body squat with a 45lb bar on your upper shoulders and just proceeding with a normal squat. My weights were 95, 95, 115, then 135 and 155lbs. So it was a pretty solid power lifting set. I cant wait to see the progress later in the year. I hope to get up to 185lbs by third quarter.

Then another workout I did later on today was a free weight shoulder press with dun bells, i had to do 10 reps of 5 sets. My weights were 40, 40, 40, 45, 45. It was very very challenging. My chest and shoulders are sooooo soar ha ha.

W.O.D. The Great Pyramid....

              Hey guys here is another fun workout that i did on Monday the great pyramid. In order you have to do this set of different lower body and core exercises for time....

• 50 squats
• 400m run
• 50 sit-ups
• 800m run
• 50 sit-ups
• 400m run
• 50 squats

           my time was 18:46...this is not that good i probably could have tried allot harder. I walked a little bit of the laps that i could have at least given a slow jog. I just need to figure out how to work harder and focus my energy to where i need it. It doesn't really help that i didn't have anything for breakfast except a large hot coffee ha ha. I will not do that again. You should all try this workout if you ever get the chance.

Weight and Height Sept. 14 2011

           hey guys just wanted make another update on my hieght and wieght. Week two of recording my wieght I am 225.2 lbs and 73.25 inches tall. I did a workout today called 5-oh, which calls to do 5 rounds of 50 meters of walking lunges and 50 sit-ups, for time. It really really works your mind and your body hard. My time was 16:24 which isnt good but isnt bad either...i hope to beat that time with something aroun 12-13 min in the future.

Personal Fitness W.O.D. Push Press

           Today in personal fitness calss, we decided to do some wieght lifting. Mr. Contois chose the exercise Push Press, which is like a shoulder press but you use you knees to help propel the bar up and over your head. It was 5 reps of 5 sets, and i did 65, 65, 85, 95, 105. So it was a pretty solid upper-body workout, I cant wait to see the improvement in wieght and form down the road...

Nation Fitness

          Hello again, i just wanted to say i had a pretty good weekend and stayed very avtive. I ate healthy and had good meals for every meal of the day. In this post i just wanted to talk about National Fitness and what our country sets for standards of a healthy life and a healthy body. Im gonna talk about two main topics; National Nutrional Guidlines and What our country has been doing toward daily exercise and fitness.
         To start i think the majority of the country's population is unhealthy. People just dont care or they just dont think about the reprecutions of an unhealthy diet of saturated fats, enourmous amounts of sodium, and not enough intake of important nutrients such as protiens, fiber and potassium. To keep the nation atleast moteratley in shape and healthy the USDA or the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture set guidlines to what a daily intake of nutrients, vitamins and minerals should be. Here is a link to show what your meals should look like and they should be portioned: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
         This image shows how you different food groups should coincide during a healthy meal. It might look a little similar to the one they might have shown you when you were in elementary school...

         So this is the "food pyramid" it shows how much daily intake you should have of each major food group and how the realte in importance. The person walking up the steps on the left of the pyramid is to symbolize that a healthy life isn't just aquired by eating healthy but also exercising daily.

         Along with healthy eating comes exercise. Exercise is very important to a healthy life. It helps you burn unwanted fat, and to gain a healthier mind and body. People around the world also neglect daily exercise on a regular basis, but are coming to acknowledge the importance of it. To help people understand the imortance of exercise the U.S. has created guidline for children to become active and forfill a healthy and active lifestyle. The link below is to the National Institutes of Health, and it talks about what daily physical activities are and how to keep you cild fit and healthy. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/Exercise_and_Physical_Activity.cfm. According to this website everyone 18 and under should be getting atleast one hour everday of fitness. From what i have experienced in my life I think that kids are getting there daily exercise in all the time. This is good news it means we can make a change on how our country is veiwed and how our lives can be shaped into more healthy eating, daily exercising people.

        Here is a chart that i used to get an idea of what a daily calorie intake should consist of...

http://www.netrition.com/rdi_page.html 

        This past weekend I went camping. I had alot of fun and did some very fun active activities. We did a little bit of kayaking which was really fun causse we were the only one on the lake! Then we spent the rest of the day playing ultimate frisby. We had a nice dinner or chicken potatos and corn. We then had a bonfire until about midnight, it was really fun. I hope i get to do that again soon.
        Today in personal fitness we did a workout called "best 400." Best 400 requires you to do 4 laps with breaks inbetween each lap and record you times. My times were 1:57, 2:03, 2:10, and 2:07. It was a really fun workout and i actually cant wait to do it again so i can see my improvement...

New Food Plan Ideas

           Just wanted to talk about some ideas to keep myself healthy when it comes to food and drinks. I spet a while researching different food plans as apposed to diets. One of the food plans i have heard and attempted before is called the paleo diet. It is a high in fat, and low in carbohydrates. It also calls for moderated consumption of meats poultry and fish, to get the protien and fatty acids you need. When i first heard of this diet it was described as a diet that the caveman and paleolithic people would have eaten and not only survived on but thrived too. In this diet u arent allowed to consume any sort of processed food, and it is used as a general rule-of-thumb that anything in a box is a no-go.
           Another kind of Food plan or diet i was intrested in trying was a low-carb, high-protien diet. It would invlove consuming lots of red meats and fish, and very low amounts of carbs, around 30-50 grams spread out everyday. This is a muscle building fat losing diet. I think i might try this one.
           One last diet i found and researched was the Atkins diet. The diet claims by eating natural protiens found in red meat, poultry, fish, and eggs. The diet is intended to lose wieght but is most oftenly used to just simply stay healthy which is what im looking for. I enjoy the sound of this diet alot haha.
           Ill keep u updated on the diet i choose and for what reason. Im gonna try to also find some things i can do over the weekend that are good fun and keep me in shape. Im going camping so there should be no shortages of fun times.

Sept 8th, 2011

         Hey I just wanted to make another post about my W.O.D. in personal fitness. Today this morning i did 5 sets of 5 repetions of Shoulder press. There was a slight problem though. On my 5th set on the 4th rep, i felt my neck tighten up real hard to the point where i couldnt move my head at all sise-to-side. I went home to take it easy and it just got worse. It really really hurts and i feel strong saying that it is probably the worst pain i have ever had.

Sept. 7th 2011

         Hey just wanted to talk real quick about some of the exersizes that i did today to stay healthy and fit. I did alot of walking....and i mean alot. I walked around in gym class for two class lengths, which is about 2 hours of walking and did prob around a mile and a half i would say. I then went for another walk when i got home with my mom and her dog, which was a short 25min walk around the nearby cemetery in our town. we probably walked a quarter mile or so. For lunch i had a sandwich and milk and for dinner i had some pizza, and water, i need to deffinately start eating better.

Personal Fitness Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

          Hey its jake again, i just wanted to talk about a quick yet gut-busting workout i did yesterday in my personal fitness class. The workout was called burp-me, named after one simple exersise called a burpee. A burpee consists of a squat a push-up and a jump with a clap over head in an almost similtaneous action.
          Before the workout though we did a warm-up. the warm-up was to do 3 rounds  of 25 body squats, 25 situps, and 25 jumping jacks. After all three rounds we bagan our W.O.D. or workout of the day.
          Burp-me is done by completeing one burpee on the first minute then two on the second and three on the third and so and so on. Well at the beggining we are asked set a goal of how many we would do in that alloted time. My goal was for 10 the first time i did this workout, i only made it to 8. The second time i attempted this workout I set my goal at 10 again and made it to 9 burpees in one minute. This shows improvement which is one of my long term goals by bieng in this class.
          I continue to make more posts about all the workouts i attempt and conqure. -Jake

Week 1 Day 1

          Hey guys its Jake. I just wanted to share some info on my daily life and what i have been doing to keep my fitness campaign up. Today is my first hieght and weigh-in measurement. I am 221.4 lbs and 6.06 feet tall or 72.75 inches.
          For workouts this past weekend i did some walking and swimming. I went on a walk on saturday the 3rd through the woods near my house, about a quarter of a mile away. The walk was probably only for an hour and a half but we walked around 2 miles with stops. On monday the 5th i went on another walk with my friend form her work to my house and then her house, it was about one and a half miles total. That walk was about 1 hour long.
          My weekend was pretty healthy when it comes to my choices in meals, but my breakfast this morning was not so healthy. I had a Coffee and a chocolate butter-nut donut, which is delicious but not very good for you. next time i will have to choose some healthier foods for breakfast.
          My Goal for this week is to focus on getting in a rythm of eating well and healthy. Im planning on going and getting some food later at my local grocery store. Im gonna focus on eating the right portions and the right kinds of food. I would alo like to keep walking whenever i can. It seems to be a good stretch after working out and it is relaxing too.

My Labor Day weekend

           Hey guys its jake again, i just wanted to talk about what i did this past week that contributed to my fitness campaign. I tried really hard to eat healthy this weekend. I had some chicken and pasta salad the other day for dinner at my friends house and i just had a stuffed pepper for dinner. I didnt do so good at lunch when i had a steak and cheese at my favorite pizza place. i went on a few really long walks and did some swimming too. I plan on working my butt off tommorow at gym class and maybe go for a short ride in the afternoon too.

          i'll make sure to keep the posts coming......Jake

The Beggining

           Hello, my name is Jake. I am a senior at my local highschool. In my years here i have been very fourtunate to meet some great alumni and some great teachers. I have been very intrested in exersise, fitness and over all well bieng. At the highschool i attend we are very proud of our classes and teachers. I have met many people while following my passion and hobbie of recreational fitness. One of these people i met is Mr. Contois, an excellent teacher, friend, and more than anything a very good runner. Mr. contois and many other of my friends have inspired me to get in shape and have fun doing it.
           Our school has a great class and program called an "independent study," where the student can get a more in-depth and better atmosphere for learning with the teacher. This class is a one-on-one learning curve that i have not really had a chance to experience. In this class i intend to try my hardest and sucseed to my and Mr. Contois' expectations. I would like to be able to do some simple things i have not been able to do in the past, like pull-ups, running long distance, and just simply get more fit no mater what i have to do.
           So with that i will keep up and keep trying my hardest....
