I keep going back and forth between using a planner, or making a bullet journal for tracking my fitness journey. Both have good and bad about them.
My main thing I don't like about bullet journals is I want it to be all artistic and pretty, but my artistic ability is about equal to my 2 year old granddaughter. 😟 And sometimes I just don't want to do all the work in dating, and making a layout even for simple things. I just want to plug stuff in.
I used a bullet journal for the last 3 weeks, but I just didn't feel like doing all that, so I got this back out.
This is a Big Teacher Happy Planner that I got a different cover for.
Now this is what it actually looks like on the inside. But I do a little switching things up.
I white out the dates, and figure out what I want to track for the week. I need to pick out a goal. It says daily goal, but I'm going to make it a weekly goal. I'm thinking of doing something like "workout 4 days this week"
I've slacked off this last week ,but I've been SO TIRED. I'm talking like I felt like I could have slept 16 hours and still wanted to take a nap. That's how tired I've been. I feel better today thank goodness.
I'm going to start back tracking my calories again. When I actually track, I tend to lose weight. Funny how that all works out, isn't it 😅 And get into eating more fruit and veggies. I sort of suck at eating fruit and veggies. I'll do ok for 1-2 days, then well, I kind of slack off. I need to only slack off 1 day and eat them 6 days, cause its not only good for weight loss, but its just good for me. Why can't broccoli taste more like chocolate?
I know what you mean. For calories I used Lose It! Because it works with so ,any devices and has a huge data base of food. There’s sections others don’t have like recording sleeping, glucose levels, measurements and notes for stuff you want to add.

ReplyDeleteMy issue is deciding if I should purchase another Fitbit. Except for the earlier versions they seem to break A LOT. Fitbit always replaces them and all, but it is annoying.
The other thing is I get competitive and will be up at 11 pm trying to get the most steps, which isn’t a healthy mental thing for me. Yet, I like information I can track. What you can measure you can manage (Kurt Johnson says this in APY).
Finally, I gained 50 pounds during the whole sepsis thing, some from meds, but mostly because it took forever to (and I am not there yet) get my energy level and strength back. It was bad. Showering still can wear me out, but I am walking wmd doing weights, Pilates and physical therapy stuff.
Thoughts or ideas would be great….
I use My Fitness Pal cause I've used it off and on for years and I already have a lot of the recipes we use plugged in. And I'm to lazy to do that again lol.
