FITNESS JOURNAL

Have you started writing a fitness journal yet? Each week my clients come in and I ask to see their journal. I have seen them in various ways...on cell phones, on the web site “lose it”, emails and on paper. I don’t care how you record it but get it down on paper. Most weight loss facilities require this and I am no different. I have heard every excuse as to why they don’t have them. If you want to lose weight this week, write it down! It’s that simple.

In your your journal you should have these things:

1. Your measurements and weight, goals and plans
2. Everything you eat and drink (even if it’s bad) and make sure there are 8 glasses of water
3. Daily exercise

At the end of the day read over your entry, this will help motivate you for tomorrow. Hard work is easier when there is a plan to follow. By writing it down and and reading it, you set your mind in gear for success.

Beginners will find it rewarding to record their progress, as they usually see improvements in a short period of time. Women who are part way to their goal can look over their progress anytime they need some motivation. It has been proven that people who keep a daily journal with their food intake and exercise have a greater chance of losing weight that those who do not.
