My boyfriend just bought this for me and I am SO excited for it. I took off that thing on the front that says wellness journal, it’s just packaging.
I get bored really easily with things, and I’m bored of myfitnesspal so I need a new way to track, and this is the perfect all in one! Here’s a breakdown of it:
There are divided sections and they are as follows:
Personal goals (sections for weekly, and monthly goals, and sections for breakthrough moments)
Exercise log (includes pictures of weather to circle, intensity to check off, what you did, notes, and repetitions)
Diet (daily diet has sections for breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, and night snack, notes, total calories)
General health (what vitamins, how much, how often, medical tests you’ve had done and their results. I don’t think I’m going to use this section often)
Games+Sport (section includes challenge level to check off, event, participants, result+score) also don’t think I’ll use this section often
Inspiration (blank pages to put any kind of inspiration you want, photos, quotes, recipes, ANYTHING)
Then 6 blank tabs for you to create your own sections. Each section is designed differently so you have a lot of room to do what you want.
It also includes in the front: common healthy food items with their nutrition facts, plus about 200 extra spaces for you to add your own most commonly used food items. A measuring. A food calendar of when fresh foods are grown and in season. Useful measurements and conversions, and a conversion chart of US sizes to other countries sizes. There are also stickers so you can note certain things, and stickers with suggested sections on them to stick onto those blank dividers.
This is the BEST journal I’ve seen for weight loss. I think I’m going to make one section weigh-ins and measurements for sure, I’m just not sure on all the other ones yet! I’m so excited about this!
