Get Successful By Getting Accountable

Posted on March 18, 2010 by admin

Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, your personal trainer all use it. It’s called accountability and it works. Studies have shown that diets and fitness regimes are much more successful when you’re held accountable to someone or something. How do you get accountable on your own? Start a journal! Health professionals and athletes swear by them. You can do it on your phone or computer or in a notebook. It’s simple. Write down everything you eat and drink and the time that you do it. Also write down the exercise that you do. Keep it for a least a week and peruse it at the end. You’ll start seeing a pattern of habits that may be sabotaging your quest to get healthy. In addition, my clients have reported that they’ve consumed less calories when they have to write it down, because they couldn’t bear to see it on paper! Here are two of the most popular iPhone apps: Lose It! (allows you to track your caloric intake) and Gym Buddy (allows you to log information for each exercise that you do). Or buy a small notebook that you can keep in your briefcase or purse. You can also download a journal from this site:

Yours in health and buffness,
