Journaling

The Joy of Journaling – Your Partner For Success

A great way to increase your success is to keep a visual record of your accomplishments. This can be done by simply writing your success (and setbacks) in a journal. Simply put, journaling works because it holds you accountable to your daily behaviors. If you write about your efforts, then you are more likely to follow through on your goals.

Keeping a food journal helps you to avoid “unconscious eating” - eating that leads to consumption of excess calories, beyond what you may have ever intended to eat.

Emotional eating can also lead to over consumption. Try journaling your feelings, such as stress, anger or boredom can help you pinpoint problem areas, which in some cases may serve as triggers to overeating.

We want you to succeed and to help you, we’ve developed a daily exercise journal and an eating journal:

1. Print out a minimum of seven journal copies for the week.
2. After printing, 3-hole punch the pages and place in a three ring binder.
3. Keep the journal close-by so you don't forget to fill it in everyday
