Fit Day

Fitday.com is a wonderful website a friend recently pointed out to me. We shall call her Sideshow "Bob". Anyway, Fitday is a wonderful website for anyone looking for a little motivation or encouragement or plain and simple help with sticking to a new diet or exercise plan. It's perfect because it keeps you accountable for your actions or I guess habits in this case. Journaling is often touted as one of the activities that leads to successful weight loss. FitDay.com provides a journal free of charge. This online journal allows you to keep track of everything you've eaten in a day, your activities and exercises, and log your thoughts. It allows you to visualize what you've eaten, activities you've participated in, goals you’ve set, and anything else that goes into your day-to-day activities. You're able to review charts and graphs every day or over a period of time like a week or month. You can view your progress toward a goal and see how many calories you burned while jogging, putting away groceries and working at your desk. You'll quickly be able to assess the areas where changes are most necessary.
