When I am trying to lose weight or make healthy changes to my diet (so, basically always), the hardest challenge is my food intake. I have to keep track of what I eat, and I need to plan out my meals.
There are lots of apps for this, and I’ve tried several of them. Many of them are very, very good! But at the end of the day, using an app to track my food just gives me one more reason to be tied to my phone. And also? I just like to write things down. I feel more connected to what I am doing when I put it down on paper.
So for years, I’ve just kept a little notebook and used a system to track my calories (or Weight Watchers points, if that’s what I was doing). When I started the 21 Day Fix, I came up with something similar (you can see those here).
I finally got around to turning my makeshift Food Journal into a REAL Food Journal, and I am so excited to share them with you!

There are 62 pages for tracking your daily food intake, so you’ll get two months use out of each book.

So happy to find this food journal to track my WW points. I have tried the phone but I find that if I write my food down before I eat it I am more mindful of what I am eating. Thank you for putting this together for us who like to still track by writing it down. And I'm in the Dallas suburbs also so I can reach out to you for support if needed. :)

You're welcome Jackie! Were you able to find it? We actually stopped making them but I do have a couple at the office still.

Hi there. I couldn’t find the journal on your website or Etsy for a general calorie counter such as the one you mentioned that can double as a weight watchers tracker. Did you discontinue this?

These are adorable. My mother-in-law just joined and so I am going to send this to her. I used to food journal, too, and find that I enjoyed writing it down more than tapping it into my phone. For similar reasons as you, I just didn't want another reason to need to be on the phone.
