Personal Fitness Assessment

Throughout the semester I have seen positive improvements in my health. My goal for this year was/is to get into shape and to make good health habits so that I can easily continue to have them in college.

My eating habits aren’t horrible, but I would like to eat even cleaner and not cheat with unhealthy foods as
