Personal Narrative: My Fitness Pal
For a while now, I have been using an application called My Fitness Pal in which I regularly report what I have eaten for the day. The application authorizes me a certain amount of calories that I should intake depending on my weight and a goal that I had set for myself. It also calculates how many steps I have walked throughout the day, which should be about 10,000 every day or more.

My second goal for myself is to always have breakfast in the mornings because breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast is the meal that keeps you energized to keep you going through the day. I personally always skipped breakfast because I always though breakfast was never important, but was I wrong. You actually gain more weight than you lose by skipping breakfast because you body needs more fuel.

The 10,000 steps a day is a good number to reach, any amount of activity beyond what you're currently doing will likely benefit your health. So far, I am on track with my goals that I have set for myself and slowly am starting to notice changes.
There are many modifications that I would like to change, but for now I am taking baby steps, so I can truly transform and transition my body. My biggest fear is that by not taking care
