People remain motivated when they can see the benefits of their work. If the benefit is not clear, your subconscious mind will automatically pull you away from the task. The diet notebook serves as a great way to track your progress and record the benefit. You can look back and see all that you have done. It builds confidence to see what you are capable of doing.

Write in the diet notebook when and how you exercised. This keeps track of your progress. It shows how far you have come. It also helps you learn what works and what does not. If you had a great workout, write down why. Did you wake up and do it first thing in the morning? Did you listen to your favorite music? Did you have the healthy food you needed in your house? If you know why you are getting success it is much easier to keep getting success in the future.

If you skipped a workout or diet for some reason, write this in your book. Why did you skip? Did you go out with friends? Did you see a commercial for fast food? Did you sit down on the couch and watch television instead? Remember there are no “failures” there are only “learning experiences”. If you know why you missed that workout you can avoid this problem in the future. If you write it down you are much more likely to remember the problem.

At the end of each week review your diet notebook. Keep track of what you did right. Keep track of the mistakes you make. Think about what you could do to improve. Look at what works and what does not. Make sure to give yourself congratulations for the good things you did. Smile!

1Calorie King
I keep track of calories at www.calorieking.com. They also show how many calories the food you are eating containg. They also have other nutritional information.

It is a very valuable site (I am not with them in any way...I just think it is a great site)

9It is Tough
It is so hard to keep the diet notebook. I usually last until lunch. Just too hard to know how many calories.

10A Diet Notebook helps you to see the damage
It is frightening to see how many calories you really eat!

Writing them down in a diet notebook is a great way to get real. You see the downside of your eating. You see the price you pay and then eating is not so fun anymore.
