Fitness journaling 101: How to track water intake + food and Mood

Welcome

Tracking your water intake, as well as your meals, and then recording notes about how you felt after consumption, can be amazing for really tapping into the truth about what’s happening in your body.

By writing down what you’re doing and how it makes you feel, you’re becoming aware of your health, which makes you more equipped to make better choices on a day-to-day basis.

It will become more difficult for you to forget what types of things make your body feel bad, and what makes you body feel good!

Benefits of food + water journaling

Tracking water intake has great benefits.

First, you become more aware of how much water you’re drinking (or not drinking.)

Also, you can actively make changes when it comes to deciding what to drink.

You can plan ahead, instead of being a victim of your schedule.

Buy one of those cute, extra large water bottles with hilarious phrases on them, if you need some motivation. They sell them online, and you can bring them with you when you start your day. Being at the mercy of a drive-thru, or grabbing a soda or your kids’ juice box out of the fridge in the morning doesn’t have to be your only option.

Being intentional with your hydration can improve your skin, your cognitive abilities, your digestion and even your quality of sleep, many experts say. [FREE Infused Water Recipe Book + Fruit & Herb Combos to Try Now]

The other topic I’m going over today is your food and mood tracker.

I love using these Food + Mood Tracking Printables I created, because you will never forget again how a food made you feel.

For example, when it comes to myself, I have a habit of wanting to eat cheese dip and chips as a guilty pleasure.

But if I’m honest, I don’t really feel great after eating that, unless it’s in really small amounts.

Now, if you really get honest and true with yourself, and put some effort into it, you can use your Food and Mood Journal/Tracker and write down how you feel after eating something. [FREE Healthy Eating Journal for Beginners]

I will say, this has helped me make better decisions when I’m at the grocery store.

I remember myself writing down how bad some foods made me feel, and I avoid them, so I don’t make the same mistake next time. [5 FREE Fitness Journaling Pages to Get Started]

This also works when something makes you feel great!

Write down which foods make you feel satisfied, yet energized, and keep eating more of that, and less of the things that drag you down.
