There's a lot of power in a logbook or journal...and especially if it comes to how you use it for fat loss.
You and I might not be as in control of what we do as we believe we do...
We don't see first hand what we do each day because we aren't making that little bit of effort to write it down. And as we often think taking notes as hassle we don't realise how crucial it is for a fat loss plan to do it.
The simple truth is that without knowing what you current are doing to try and lose fat, you won't know how to change it to get more success.
Because it is worth the time and patience and then some. A little effort regularly really gives you that insight and awareness...especially when you can then look over all the short entries (not talking about a Dear Diary here!)...and see how far you have come..
And it may be that in a few months all you do is write a one liner or a quick bullet list of what exercises you did...and how you felt you have performed...instead of a line by line table about what calories you saved...
Even the act of writing every day...or at least doing it a few times a week produces a great habit of self-discipline and control...
And it's this that keeps you focussed on your fat loss plan. Even if when you mention it to your friends they might think it sounds like you are a bit obsessive!
Well, as is usually the case they're the ones who could do with losing some pounds, getting into shape and having better discipline!
Just remember: keeping even a one-liner a day log is all you need for you to see how much you workout and if it is matching the changes in your body...
And remember that it also subconsciously reinforces your fat loss plan...and without having to spend more than 5 minutes of your time!
