Weight Loss Wednesday as well as Wordless - Quilt

One of my goals is to be healthier during 2016 and having read that keeping a food diary is a very successful way in which to change eating habits I have decided for the first time to actually have a go and keep one.  To help me do this regularly, I have decided to join in on a weekly basis with one or two others out there who are hosting linky parties on the theme of weight loss and healthier lifestyles. So today I am linking up with:

Having seen this wonderful photo on Flickr

I decided I wanted to do something similar so I have begun by creating a Food Diary & Exercise page
which I will freely share with you if you want to start recording what you eat and how much water you drink on a daily basis.
If you click on the button above it will take you to a downloadable document (there are two on an A4 page landscape).  Also a big thank you for backgrounds and snowflake character to the following clipart artists

With the New Year safely behind me and most of the left over nibbles and chocolate gone I am hoping that I can begin to eat more healthily and see the benefits during the remainder of this month.  I am not someone who regularly weighs myself but I feel that giving myself the goal to lose a little bit of weight each week is what I need to motivate myself to change my eating habits.  Sharing with others will hopefully also act as an incentive!!  If you have any tips or motivational quotes I'd love to hear them :)

    Great way to record food and exercise and I have started a food diary too - all tools are worth trying. My tip is to celebrate every little success and to discover the healthy foods you do like and stock up on them

      That's a good tip, Kate and one I will be trying to follow. I like yoghurt so am stocking up on fat free ones to substitute for any unhealthy snacks I normally eat!
