Health Tip: Create a Food-and-Activity Journal

Jotting down your eating and exercising habits helps you track healthy habits and foster new ones.

The American Academy of Family Physicians suggests:

Logging what you ate and drank, starting when you woke and ending when you went to bed. Include how much of each food you ate or drank.
Writing down what you did to exercise each day, and for how long.
Making a commitment to daily journaling, and thinking about what you’ve learned from your journal.
Keeping your journal with you throughout the day, so you can stay on track without forgetting key activities.
