1 Week Eating Log

A Week In My Life:  Eating Habits  

Description:
Keep a photo journal of everyone of your breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for one week starting starting Saturday February 8th until Friday February 14th.

Disclaimer:
*Eating habits drastically effect your physical and mental well being.  Just as consistent exercise/activity  helps boost your energy, moods, focus, body functioning (organs (skin), brain functioning, muscle control) sleep, memory, concentration, and motivation among many other benefits so does the kind of food you put in your body.

Eating 'well' is something that not everybody has equal access to.  Factors such as parent/guardian purchasing/preparing meals for you, time available to family to cook 'whole' meals, money available for quality food can determine what you are able to eat.  The purpose of this self reflection eating journal is to educate.

This is a quote from the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks locker room that if you can make stick in your life in regards to exercise/activity, school, relationships and the food you put in your body you will be amazed how genuinely happy and healthy you will be!!!

"WE ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE THE EASIER WRONG FOR THE MORE DIFFICULT RIGHT"
 
      -The easy option when it comes to what food you prepare and put in your body is almost always the worse.
