For the past few months, I've been trying to lose 5 - 10 pounds and I haven't been doing so well on my own, so I decided yesterday that I am going to do my best to cut out cheese and bread from my diet since I eat a lot of cheese and I love, love bread (and I'm supposed to be wheat and gluten-free anyway).
I figured that a good tool to help me stay on track is a food/exercise journal.
I don't know about you, but every time I decide to start logging the food that I eat and the exercise I do each day, I always start by trying to log it on my phone.
I have used the lose-it app for the iPhone in the past, and in college it helped me lose about 20 pounds!
Unfortunately, now whenever I try to use it, it only lasts for about a day and then I start forgetting about it. So this time, I thought maybe it will work for me if I use a good old fashioned journal with pen and paper.
My friend went to Paris and brought me back this journal, which is nice and pocket sized so it fits in my purse, so I decided to use it. See below on how I set it up!
For those of you who may be interested, I have also created this graphic to help, you can print it out and create your own journal, or you can just follow the guidelines and set up your own in a journal you may already have!
Here's to hoping that I can follow through...Enjoy!
