Health Diaries - Template included!

[ErinJean]

This is a place to record your personal progress! You can use this as a daily food diary, excersise diary, picture progress, and other various health things worth journaling!

Keep in mind when posting pictures that this forum is visable to the public.

Keeping a food and excersise diary will be very beneficial for you to see exactly where all those calories are being spent. It will also be neat to look back on our diaries after we've reached our goals to see how far we've come!

Polly has found a great template that you can use if you like, which includes some great items to track daily! I will paste it below:

I , __________, am on Atkins Induction/ OWL (or insert your plan here). I pledge to keep myself cheat free for ______ days.

I pledge to do the following: (or add your own)

1. Keep under _____cal/carbs/fat per day (choose one or more).
2. Exercise _____ times this week (at least 3).
3. Take my supplements or medications each day.
4. Drink at least THREE 20-oz bottles of water a day.
5. Eat all my vegetables - at least 3 cups a day.
6. I will not eat any junk food, only wholesome snacks.
7. Eat at least 3 meals a day and not go more then 6 waking hours without eating.
8. I will watch my portion sizes and use the palm of my hand as a guide.

Feel free to use this as a guide in your journaling!

I think this will be a great forum for us to keep track of our goals, and to help encourage our fellow board friends going through the same things!

Happy journaling!
