Resiliency
April 29, 2014
By: Gina Yoryet Roman
I am still flabbergasted at my body’s resiliency. All my life my temple has been very resistant with all the strain’s gone through and nothing seems to stop it. Even now that I can’t reach 100% wholeness it is still alive and kicking.
From a young age I was taught by a woman warrior (my mother) to never give up. “When you can’t run, walk, if you can’t walk, crawl but never give up under any circumstances because you will get there!”
And so I am taking the advice that woman has given me by retaliating against every single physical ailment lingering post surgery that is trying to put a halt to my agitated lifestyle. I am so sorry physical setbacks becauseThat is NOT going to happen even if I have to crawl, I will continue fighting to get there!
Today when I was at the gym, I walked very slowly and gently to avoid hurting my ankle that’s been in pain. At the same time I couldn’t stop thinking that I have to find a solution to this never ending chain of reactions that my body is going through. For that reason, right after setting foot at the gym, I called an angiologist (a physician who specializes in angiology: the branch of medical science that studies the blood and lymph vessels and their disorders) that was recommended to me about two weeks ago to have him check me. This appointment on Friday will only be the beginning of a string of causes that will lead me to physical wholeness and only until then I will be at peace and ease with myself.
I am fighting against each problem at once because I’ve decided that nothing will bring me down. I already took care of the allergic reaction on my face, the spots seem to finally be fading and I am very content for that! My eye infection is meliorating with the drops I was prescribed, my knee still hurts, sometimes it feels as if my surgery had been very recent but I am taking one day at a time for my engine to remain resilient while I age.
Spirituality, family, work and business ethics, health and fitness, charity work, reading, playing with words, reflecting and embracing the simplicity of life...

A sense of everything
A sense of everything...
April 27, 2014
Two days ago...
We just got back, it was very nice, relaxing, beautiful,
and quiet but I long for the presence of the man of my dreams.
Just wanted to thank him for slowly and progressively leading
me into my sense of purpose, meaning, route, and direction.
When I meet him, my emotional capital will be worth investing in a lifetime
highly valuable rate of return known as my eternal partner.
I am here physically but my heart, mind, and soul are wherever
he is day and night.
I will always pray for his spiritual, emotional, physical,
professional, financial, and personal well being!

Food for thought
Food for thought
April 23rd, 2014
By: Gina Yoryet Román
Two nights ago I was told that my writing is very impressive because I give it very meticulous thought and genuine meaning. This kind of feedback is the best momentum to nurture my mind and it fuels me to keep moving forward just when I am running on a short supply of writing theory.
I apply thorough thinking to everything entailed to my ABC’s, what’s formed the woman I am now since I have a tendency to be 10 times more analytical than others - Spirituality, family, work and business ethics, health and fitness, charity work, reading, playing with words, reflecting and embracing the simplicity of life. I’ve always out-dared life and asked the what, who, why, how, when, where of everything. As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned to look at the whole picture and think, analyze, reflect and then act as opposed to before that I was like a pistol, very quick to effectuate thoughtless actions.
Unlike now. In order to find balance I choose who and what to surround myself with. That ‘what ‘and ‘who,’ are the positive and supporting people who love and believe in me (my family), and those that I have always known deep down that would walk this journey with me all of our lives. The ‘what’ would be something that aligns me emotionally and spiritually, and reinforces the inner peace all humans are in search for.
By praying I feed my heart, mind and sold. Praying is the cause that gives me the effect of inner reconciliation. I don’t pray every morning and go to mass every chance I get only because I feel obligated to, I go because I have slowly and progressively developed the love for it. This first rule is my emotional sustenance that I will always hold on to and pass on this principle to my children if I am meant to be a mother.
Through my work and business ethics I was propelled to search within and make a living by helping others. All my younger years were spent performing duties I detested until I came here. Through my bilingual, bi-literate and multicultural skills, I’ve managed to increase my knowledge and share that and my skills with others. Helping others has always given me inner peace - My happiness doesn’t lie upon this principle, but it gives me meaning in life. I was telling this significant person who commented me on my writing, that I love my job and I cannot picture myself doing anything else. On this account, the ‘what,’ is my job, the ‘who,’ are all my clients, students, work colleagues and all those who I am in constant contact with for work related purposes.
Health and fitness. My motto in life is that my body is my most valuable asset and it all revolves around a healthy mind, body and soul. If none of these aforementioned function accordingly, nothing else will. My body and health are my best allies which help me fight the daily battles of life and who will be with me until my last day on this planet. That’s why I only have one choice. Nurture it with the right fuel to make it my most resilient weapon and shield.
Charity work has always been an emotional escape when I am down in the dumps and feel as if the world revolves around me. All through my life I’ve given a lending hand at animal shelters retirement homes, orphanages, my church and low income families and communities and other institutions in greater need because I know that those souls are always straying, bouncing from one place to another only for the mere fact and ill fortune of having been born in a lower social class. Those left at the bottom of society are the ones who need the most, yet the ones who give the most. Every experience I have shared with every single individual has been a priceless practice.
Reading is another food for thought for me. By reading I learn, explore, analyze, critique and admire writers’ talent. I also go M. I. A. for a while by turning off my phone and enjoy taking in all those amazingly well-formed ideas and sublimely put together words. This principle is shared with all of my students being aware that México is placed at the bottom when it comes to reading literacy. Every single one of my classes is required to read a book in English no matter whether they´re doctors, lawyers, architects, homemakers or business entrepreneurs.
Playing with words. I developed a love for writing ever since I was a little girl. Every thought and moment lived was registered in my journals, but I was unbeknownst that some day that would turn into something bigger. Writing has witnessed me blossom into a better person. Writing has been my best friend through all my bouts of sadness, happiness, pride and accomplishments. I would never give it up under any circumstances because it soothes my mind, heart and soul.
By reflecting and embracing the simplicity of life I enjoy the natural beauty of this world and appreciate that small things make something very meaningful. These principles will never be left or forsaken by Gina Yoryet because they´ve formed the "I."
That's why some day I want to be able to share my principles with my soul mate, the one who will challenge life guided by the same doctrine and the man who is not daunted to accept the woman I am... Meanwhile, I will keep giving my heart, mind, body and soul, some food for thought!

A devoted and focused athlete
A devoted and focused athlete
April 20, 2014
By: Gina Yoryet Román
Late February when I first made my come back to the gym, I slowly integrated two pm work out sessions since I could not get myself to make it at 5am. I am always on the look to meet and interview people who are passionate about health and fitness, so I immediately noticed Alejandra. Her trim and svelte physique stood out from all the other ones so I told myslef, “She’s next on my list!” From there on, a couple weeks went by before I had a little time to approach her without having to storm out of the gym and this is what I came up with!
Name: Gloria Alejandra González Núñez
Age: 28
Date of birth: 22/01/201986
Gender: Femenino
Height: 1.77 (5.80709 feet)
Current weight: 66 (145.505 pounds)
Ideal weightl:63 (138.891 pounds)
Fitness level: Intermediate
Daily calorie intake: 1,300 - 1,500
Blood type: A+
Body type: Ectomorph
BMI: 22.0
What sports do you play?: Outdoor/indoor jogging, gym.
How long have you played/practiced this sport? : Jogging 10 years.
How did you get into fitness: Because of felf motivation and because I wanted to change my life for better.
What is your biggest challenge?: Know that I can give more from me every day.
How do you get motivated?: By keeping a positive and strong mind, and witness all the emotional and physical changes.
Do you play other sports?: Cycling or other outdoor activities.
What is your fitness objective?: Improve and keep my body in good shape.
Do you have a special diet?: I have a balanced diet, I eat everything I want but I normally eat a lot of fiber, veggies, fruit, liquid, protein and very little red meat.
How do you handle work, school, family, your social life and fitness?:
I have to manage my time and compensate to be on top of everything. Working out gives me more energy at work and in general.
What is your advice for amateur and young athletes?: You have to have will, don’t leave anything halfway done, set short and long term goals and enjoy physical activities by turning them a life style
What do you think that Mexico is number one in childhood overweight and obesity worldwide?: It is truly sad, we lack education when it comes to health. Nowadays health issues have been addressed at schools, we have campaigns, etc. but we still need peoples’ will. We have to nurture the love for a change and teach our children. We need to use technology in our favor and get a lot of important information to solve this problem.
Why do you think there are so many overweight and obese people, why has this turned into a worldwide issue?:
This is a more serious problem because humans have become more dependent of food and easy things in general. People who work from home, children as well as adults spend long hours using their technological devices; their cell phones, televisions, computers, etc. Sometimes they spend their entire day behind a monitor!
The majority of the population have cars, they shop online, I can give you a long list of examples where people are idle.
What’s your advice to those who want to lose weight?:
We must take advantage of all the opportunities out there, join a sport such as soccer, volleyball, power walk, the gym, or any physical activity that you like.
We can make a big change. If we can’t do any type of exercise (which I don’t think is the case) then we can at least take advantage of the opportunities out there. Walk as opposed to taking the bus or driving, if you go into a building and need to go to a fourth floor, use the stairs, get up and stretch, we need to use our imagination to avoid being too sedentary.
Do you have further comments?: Analyze the number of calories we consume daily and how active we are in order to take care of our body. Also analyze whether or not we are keeping a balance between what we consume and what we burn. Just enjoy any physical, either indoor or outdoor.
