Getting Healthy

I've realized something.  I post on this blog WAY more than I do on my one that's supposed to be for getting healthy in my own life.  So, since I created something to help me get healthy using my design skills, I figured that I might as well post it here.


This is for all the people who are trying to get healthy this year.  The sample one is filled out based on an actual record of one of my days.  I'm not afraid to show the world that, like everyone, I have unhealthy habits that I need to change... especially not if it's going to help someone else realize they aren't alone and that they too can change themselves into a healthier and happier person.

This is the one I filled out as an example, and some usage tips.

Please, use and share with links back and/or citations only!  I designed it for personal- not commercial- use, so please don't let me catch anyone trying to sell it or passing it off as their own.  This is from the Dead Pleasures Design Studio so that I can help people, and it is a free tool for anyone who needs it... but it is still copyrighted to me, and I did the work, so please respect my effort and acknowledge it.  If you use it as part of a group effort or just for yourself, and it helps, I would love to hear your story!  Everyone struggles with something, and I'm more than happy to be part of anyone's support network or cheerleading squad.

All you need to do is save the picture of the blank journal, create a word processing document with two columns, then insert the blank journal .JPG in each column.  Then you can print out as many as you need, punch holes in the page, and carry it in a binder with you or record what you've done at the end of the day before bed. Instant food journal, so that you can see your bad eating habits or patterns and fix them, or cheer yourself on for a job well done!  If you're having trouble determining calories and everything else, use Nutrition Data or FatSecret and see what you're really eating.


This is the blank you should use for yourself.  Enjoy!
