Things I Love & Things I DON'T Love

I have read a lot in recent years about how to have a full & successful life. One of the keys is finding things you really want. According to the experts, most people don't really know what they want. Maybe because we don't expose ourselves to enough things in order to know. I can tell you this camp has really exposed me to an incredible amount of fitness and food experiences that I would never have tried if I weren't here. I've made some decisions about some things I now LOVE and things I DO NOT LOVE:
