Dear Diary...

I've done many the food journals in my day. It lasts for a week, maybe....even the iPhone app (Lose It!-is my favorite) works for a little while and then I just fade out. The food diary sheet above is one of the most effective ways I've found to monitor yourself while on a weight loss program or just to remind yourself that you are what you eat! I found this cute little number early on while Pinteresting. My new move is to print 2 sheets with 4 on each, cut them out, staple, & keep on my desk all week. There are only 5 days in a work week you say? Well, nothing like coming in next Monday with 3 to go- then repeat printing when you get to Thursday. A great way to stay on track without overwhelming yourself with a huge journal to lug around or having to type the ingredients of your tuna salad into an app one by one. As they say, preparation is the key to success!!
