An aid to help in your weight loss and a new beginning for your old exercise routine

I have read through the beginning pages but have not written in the journal yet. I am getting things together and plain to begin my journal writing in conjunction with diet and exercise within a few weeks. The journal is designed to get you thinking about your goals and desires and to create some no matter how small. The journal is layed out in weeks and then does a monthly checkup (with weight changes, blood pressure, cholesterol and so on) The daily pages have an inspirational quote to start the day, questions abour your daily walk and has a checkoff box for your multivitamin. Within the daily page is a Nutrition Center Section that has a small section of the meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks, Drinks and Dessert. A picture of 8 small glasses of water are also on the weekly/daily page to remind you and to get you in the habit of drinking water. Below that is a Notes section where you write up to 4 lines of whatever went through your mind that day. This is a 16 week journal.

One of the better journals out there

I like this journal. It is made to look at your progress in a more positive manner than most. Leslie Sansone really knows who her market is and uses this journal as a continuation of her workout series. In saying that if you are simply walking outside this is a great journal as well. If you're simply getting up and walking a mile today - good for you - better than sitting on your butt! Yeah it's not a lot, but some days that's all I have in me - the 1 Mile Jog - start to finish in 16 minutes is great!. I couldn't believe that I walked 50 miles in December! I was shocked - it didn't seem like I did much, but looking back at the journal - sure enough I did - which meant I got to buy those cool new walking shoes I wanted. The deal with myself - new shoes when I reach 50 miles. Wooo whoo! To quote Leslie - "I'm an athlete, I'm a mother of 3"
