If you don’t use an app to keep a food, exercise, sleep and stress journal, then write it down!
I call this journal a personal “owner’s manual,” Learn about yourself from yourself.
Start small. Try to make a journal entry a couple times a week. Then, increase the number of days a week you make the entries. Make it a habit by starting with baby steps.
At first, include just what you ate, no weighing or no portion size.
When you record small changes in your diet (not A diet) and start to feel better, you are able to look back at your “owner’s manual” and see what you did and do more of it!!
Recording not only your food intake, but intentional movement, sleep, stress levels, and how you feel. Document your weight weekly. When you see a change, look back! What did you do? Do it again if it’s a positive change, do less if the changes are not moving you toward your health & fitness goals!
Want to learn more about what small changes will move you toward your health and weight loss goals, contact me about my nutrition coaching program.
