Keeping track. We use worksheet forms to help us track our daily food and water intake, our workouts, stresses, slips and successes. We fill out and keep a journal sheet for each day and use completed sheets in planning — this helps us repreat good food and workout days, and avoid reliving the bad ones. We also make note of the ways stress, schedule, mood and life itself affect the day — so we can begin to develop strategies that avoid pitfalls.

The journal that results from the collected worksheets is a powerful tool for making changes in your life. Try it: you’re invited to download and print your own two-week journal. Click here for more info.
