Physical or Sedimentary?

Sedimentary or Physical Paragraph

Am I sedimentary or physical? Couch-potato or athletic? I cannot say what I am in a short answer because my lifestyle has shifted drastically years. Growing up, I was extremely physical. From approximately grades 2-6, I was involved in all kinds of sports. I've played baseball, soccer, tennis, karate, hockey basketball, you name it. Hockey was a sport that really stood out for me, though. Hockey gave me the opportunity to meet new people and be active. I was quite successful, too. I was playing triple-A hockey as an assistant captain. I guess it could be said I was physical at this point in my life.

  In grade 6, however,  I lost my love for all of sports except for baseball. This was simply because I was lazy and baseball didn't involve a lot of running. Quitting all of those sports was a decision I regret to this very day. When in grade 7, I quit the sport I loved, baseball. This was because I was lazy and didn't like being active even though baseball wasn't a very demanding sport. I would carry on to spend the next few years of my life very lazy and sedimentary.

 In grade 9, however, I reached a point where I noticed was wasting my time playing video games and whatnot when I could have been doing productive work. This was when I picked up tennis for the second time. I found this hobby was a way to keep in shape and have fun. I was back on track to being a physical person.

In the summer of 2011, I took up running. I used this as a way to increase my athletic performance and shed some weight. Surprisingly, I learned to enjoy running as a hobby! Running let me be alone and gave me time to think. Recently, I started weight lifting. This allows me to release a lot of stress I get from school, not to mention better my athletic preformance. I want to live a healthier lifestyle and feel better all round.

So what is the answer, am I physical or sedimentary person? Well, based on what I've just presented, I would say that I am a physical person. I was physical for most of my life, but sedimentary for a short person. In conclusion, I consider myself a physical person with shades of sedimentary earlier in my life. I lived most of my life physical, but I have had some sedimentary moments in my life which can't be taken away.
