Do you track YOUR progress?

Time and time again we've heard it- the power of writing it down. Writing things down helps us remember, helps us clear our heads, helps us focus. We write down our goals to re-enforce how strongly we want to achieve them. We write down grocery lists so we remember our items in the busy isles of the store. We write down feelings and thoughts for clarity and to express. So why, when it comes to our workouts and our daily nutrition- we fall short?

It's been proven- people who write down what they eat and drink have greater success losing weight then those who don't. Those who track their workouts have greater success in tweaking and changing their program, as well as being able to look back and reflect on their progress, growth, and their journey.

You will gain an immediate consciousness of your eating habits.Through journaling, you will keep track of how many meals you eat everyday, the size of your meals and when each meal is consumed. Are you a late night eater? How about a afternoon binge eater? Your diet journal will provide a wealth of information to learn from, and to grown from.

Along with recording of all the foods you eat, your journal should also contain your feelings, thoughts and reactions with each meal. Were you actually hungry when you ate or just bored? Did you eat because you were happy, sad or frustrated? Did you feel anxious or rushed during a meal? Also, make sure to record how you felt after you ate your meal. Did you feel tired and lethargic? These are extremely important points to document when keeping your diet journal. It's amazing how much you will learn by recording these dietary events in your journal and this is one of the keys to permanent weight loss!

I HIGHLY recommend the "DIETMINDER" journal and the "FITNESSMINDER" journal which can be found here: CLICK

OR if you're not as much of "writing things down" person but still want to monitor your progress I recommend "FITDAY" which is an online nutritional journaling center where you can log your daily intake FOR FREE! CLICK HERE TO VISIT FITDAY!

HAPPY JOURNALING!!!!!
