Tracking Apps and Old-Fashioned Pen and Paper

Accountability, accountability, accountability.

Old School

Keeping track of how you are doing can help make establishing a new habit that much easier and it holds you accountable to yourself.  For a little reading on how/why this works check out this article by LifeHacker.com.  For my first challenge, I plan on using a good old fashioned pen and paper tracking journal!  Yes, I spent time today cutting and using glue sticks to create my own tracker and yes, I super enjoyed the prep session.

My Cheat Sheet for Container Food Choices

Along with what containers I have had and my workout of the day, I plan to track what specific foods I ate and how I felt throughout the day!  Doing everything I can right now to make the meal plan portion of this challenge as easy as possible because it is the part that I am most nervous about.  Being proactive versus reactive will also make it easier to establish a new habit.

New School

Not everyone wants to carry around a journal with them though.  I like my journal because it gives me something very tangible with which I can track my progress.  That being said there are some smart phone apps available specifically for the 21 Day Fix Extreme Program.

Happy Saturday!
