Being healthy

This year, my father asked my mom and I to start eating more vegetables. Dad thinks we are becoming an unhealthy family, and he’s not happy about it. I told him I’m fine with this as long as I don’t have to eat mushrooms.

This month, I’ve started exercising more, too. It’s difficult because I always feel tired. However, giving up is not an option, and I think I’ll be really angry with myself if I do.

My friend, Stan, gave me a jump rope for my birthday. Every morning before breakfast, I do one hundred jumps. Stan said doing this helps him a lot to stay fit and healthy.

I’m excited about being healthy in the future!
