WHC: Journal

Your goal this week is to keep a journal to track your food and workouts.

This can be as specific or easy as you want. You can track amounts or just the food.

An example of what my journal would look like:
March 3: 1 hour yoga
B: pita, hummus, avocado, garlic, onion
L: salad (spinach, romaine, carrot, avocado, apple, hemp seeds, lemon, apple cider vinegar, olive oil)
D: z-pizza (4 small slices, vegan)
S: banana, orange, vegan ice cream

Why? Studies show that you are more likely to be more aware of the types of food you are eating and the amounts when you write it down (I read this somewhere, I honestly do not remember where). I started doing this back in high school on and off. I realized that I was sick of writing down pizza and rice and burgers. Once you become more aware of what you are eating, you are more likely to eat more healthy!
