I've been told that people who write down what they eat are more
likely to lose weight. I also heard that they are more likely to keep the
weight off. This may be so, but it’s an exhausting activity to sustain indefinitely.
So this would be a failure I don't need.
Having said that I am going to
be writing down what I consume until I come up with a uniform eating habit.
With the same menu each day, I won't have to write anything down unless I eat
something outside my regimen.
What will I be writing down in?
A journal. A Bullet Journal to be
exact. As I was researching on how to blog, I came across this exciting system
for planning my day, week, month, year… quite frankly my life.
What is a Bullet Journal?
A Bullet Journal, or BuJo for short, was created by Ryder Carroll, and his website, bulletjournal.com can explain it better than I can. Plus there is this YouTube video, How to create a Bullet Journal + 10 Tips, that I found helpful and very entertaining.
How am I going to use my Bullet Journal?
I've been experimenting with my BoJo for the last couple of weeks trying to use it to implement Plan W. I'm starting with what the tutorials call "The Basics", following the creator's original instructions. I'm not buying an expensive journal that would be so nice that I'd be too afraid of ruining it to even use it. I'm going with a 50¢ composition book (gotta love those Back-to-school specials) and a pen I stole from my sister (because I like the feel of it- so smooooth) that makes bold dark lettering (it's a Bic Velocity 1.6, in case you were curious). This system is flexible enough that not only can I use it to keep track of my eating (what I am calling my food log) I will be able to use to record any physical activity and manage the tasks I want to get done instead of watching another episode of Law & Order that I've already seen but for the life of me I can't remember how it ends (and I must know how it ends or the world will cease to spin on it's axis)... Yeah, it can do that. Pretty powerful stuff here, writing it down. World changing stuff, (at least my world). Life changing stuff, (well, my life). Just by writing it down (or so they say).
