I decided to lose <strike>my </strike>weight this month be<strike>a</strike>cause I am robust <strike>strong </strike>in the eyes of the chinese <strike>eye</strike>.I am 65KG,and 162cm now.I want to<strike> become to who I was.I was</strike> return to 60kg <strike>before</strike>.So I am doing more sports,like running,yoga,belly dance,walking,house work.But I won't take  <strike>eat </strike>any medicine.I don't think that is healthy.I control my meals. I don't eat too much. I don't like cocacola,I just like water,I don't like fried food <strike>else</strike>,so I don't worry about that.I wish  to be successful <strike>in </strike>this winter. Wish me luck.

这个月我决定减肥。因为在中国人眼里我很壮。现在我65公斤，1米62.我想变成从前的我，以前我60公斤。所以我做很多运动。像跑步，瑜伽，肚皮舞，走路，做家务。不过我不会吃药。我认为那不健康。我控制饮食。我不会吃太多。我不喜欢可口可乐，我就喜欢白开水，我也不喜欢油炸食品，所以我不用为那些担心。我希望这个冬天减肥成功，祝我好运吧。

Hi Doris, I think it depends on the person. It's like asking what kind of music you like. In general, I think those who like work better feel they can make an impact, that is what they are being paid for. Those who like school love to learn and expand their minds - there's too much to know, you can be in school all your life, but that's not to say you can't make an impact - look at Albert Einstein. :) Follow your passion - I personally like work, but it can get frustrating or monotonous sometimes - so in my spare time, learning something relaxes me. It can be Eastern philosophy or a new golf swing. Try to enjoy it!

Hey Sophie, since I'm learning Chinese I won't do a direct translation for you. But, I am a "gymrat" (I'm in the gym alot) - I can try to explain in simpler English terms. Mainstream = more popular. Fitness goes through 'fads' - what's popular one day may not be popular the next. Today it's bootcamp training, the next day it may be kickboxing. It's largely driven by marketing but I say try it and if you like it, do it! Fitness can get boring if you do the same thing over and over again. In this case, when lifting weights in the gym instead of going at a normal pace, they suggest you move through the exercise slowly. So, instead of taking 7 seconds to do a bicep curl - take 14 seconds per rep (repetition)! The theory is it makes your muscles work harder and they will get stronger faster for the time you spend. Hope that helps - if there's any specific part of the sentence you don't understand, make a comment...:)

I'm a freshman
