I'm Back!

What I learned from my New Heart Rate Monitor

Night shift, how are you tracking your food?
I work night shift, my day starts around 2 or 3 pm and ends around 7am the next day. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to track my foods because if I'm not paying attention and add something it adds it to the wrong day. What do y'all do or what have you found easiest?
