My Nutrition Log

When I first started this assignment, I thought it was going to be very tedious and would not interest me at all since I was just logging what I did in my everyday life and I didn’t see how it was going to benefit me in any way.

I want to start going to the rec center more often and take advantage of being able to get in for free. I also want to start work outs at home that way I will feel more comfortable in my house and more likely to do
