“The body keeps an accurate journal, no matter what we write down.”
On Day 41 I identified behaviors that are almost automatic for me, behaviors that I don’t do consistently and so need reminders, and behaviors that need a lot of work. I have printed a copy of these Lifestyle Changes for my Wellness Journal. I have also made up a TO DO CHECK LIST for my Wellness Journal. As I was working through the daily lessons, I read the daily check list, but didn’t really use it. This is one more tool I have decided to use. The following is my Daily Check List:
Each Day I will do the following:
- weigh in the morning
- review my food plan for the day
- read my Advantages list
- read my Lifestyle Changes lists
- read my Thought/Response Cards
- review my anti-craving techniques
- restart my ‘atta girl’ counter
- wear my pedometer
- blog and leave feedback for others
- monitor what I eat during the day
- do planned and spontaneous exercise
- do at least one activity to enrich my life
- Use my evening planning session to
o Adjust what I plan to eat
o Review challenges of the day
o Record FitDay info, counter, & ped info
It was important to me to customize my check list to my priorities. Many of the CT techniques and eating behaviors I’ve worked on (‘no choice’, sit to eat, etc.) are in my Thought/Response Cards and so do not have a specific check point of their own.
