I started my channel to encourage people to lift weights and use planners. You would think that I would have a dedicated planner for the gym. I don't. I have been experimenting with different planners. Right now I'm using the notes pages of last year's Hobonichi Weeks. I think the Weeks is a good health planner. I also like the A6 Hobonichi Techo for that. In June, I will probably use my redated Happy Planner.
I love the idea of adding in a face and musing column to check in with your feelings. Also, I think we need “Cat laughs” compilation video; impossible not to smile when I hear your laugh, it’s pure joy! 🥰🥰🥰
New subbie, here. Loved this post! You have such a great laugh and an inspiring manner.Makes me want to get up and move. I believe I will. Great use of the Hobo Weeks, too!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Very simple and track the basic information. I will be using weeks size notebook to track similar information for 2024
Very helpful video! I’m setting up my Weeks as a health planner, which I forgot about fitness & diet falling into that category, so am happy I found your video ❤!
This is wonderful. I like that you have a planner for all these things- not to mention fasting ***food, feelings and workout goals. I once added mood when I was working on my feelings. Blessings, I appreciate your content and transparency.
Thanks for sharing I was using the hobo weeks for a wellness planner for 2023 …. For 2024 I am going to purchase a 2nd Hobo weeks for health tracking sleep steps mood self-care & vitamins
Omg, your handwriting should be a font!! I love it. I may have missed it, but do you write down your meals of what you had that day or is what you plan to have that day? I need to do some sort of meal tracker in my planner, because when I'm not sure what to cook or eat - that's where the danger shows up!! I just got that book about Intuitive Eating because I find the concept so interesting. You also do a great job of talking/narrating through the videos!! Thanks for sharing.
You’re the sweetest! Thank you for your kind words. My meal planning is still evolving. I’m trying to repair my relationship with food after years of binge eating. I try to plan out my meals ahead of time and adjust my foods if I add a skip or skip a meal because I’m not hungry. It’s a work in progress, but planning ahead has helped with grocery shopping. Thanks for being here😊💗
I see those Andes mints (seven months later) and have zero judgment :) This year I have one planner for food and exercise as well as one for language learning because it became abundantly clear that I can't fit all of those into a single planner. I opted for the Take a Note weekly for the language stuff and then the Sunny Weekly (from Iroha) for food and exercise. We'll see how it works but I'm hoping it ends up being sustainable.
@Planning Calm I have the habit tracker calendar from Clever Fox. I have it hung on the wall in my living room that leads to the hallway. This way, I see it every day even if i don't open my planner that day.
The discussion of intuitive eating and fasting is interesting. I also practice IE as recovery for an ED but I feel as if fasting would be against that if it was a pre-determined set time rather than an intuitive, 'I'm not hungry so I'll wait to eat until I am'. This is just my opinion though. i don't have a fitness/food planner because that isn't healthy for me but I liked seeing how you use your weeks. I can't get into the weeks as much as I have my cousin but when i see how nice yours looks, I want to!
Thanks for your insights. This was a suggestion from a dietician I saw last year and thought I’d give it a try. I try not complicate things and do more IE than fasting as my disclaimer indicates. I agree with you on the Weeks. I struggled to find a use for it and this food journal has been the best thing yet. I much prefer my cousin to the my weeks as well. Enjoy your day!😊
@@stephanieplansandreads I never found your comment judgement at all. I always tend to over-explain myself. It's something I'm working on! I appreciate your comment, Stephanie :)
Aww it’s ok Sis! We all have moments like that. Exercise can be tricky to fit in when you’re teaching and already feeling overloaded with stuff it’s can feel like one more thing to do. You’re get back at it again, and if you need a virtual workout Buddy I’m your gal😊🥰
Hey wonderful person ..... thanks for this video, but I did not get where the planning takes place. You sound as if you are just logging what already happened.
Hey there! I understand your confusion. This was first foray into having a food journal and I feel I could do a better job. Stay tuned to the channel for an updated version. Thanks for watching😊

Nice! That’s what I love about planning, you can be as versatile as you want to be. Thanks for watching😊

Lol! Aww…thanks Linds😊❤️
Very cool. I like the mood, move, musings! Stealing that idea.
Glad you like it! Let me know how it works for you😊
I like your musings sections. It’s a great place to put down your thoughts on the exercises you do or how good you ate that day
Thank you😊
Love the look of the slim long planner 💕
Hey Beautiful! Me too. It's great for carrying around :)
One of my favorite weeks videos ever!! So inspired!!
Awesome! Thank you! That means a lot coming from a friend. Welcome😊🤗

Hi!🙋🏾♀️ Thanks for watching and for being here😊
Thanks for sharing. I also practice intermittent fasting. Yes, it is great for weight loss, gut biome and inflammation.
Absolutely! I swear by it. It has also curtailed my desire for snacking on sweets :)
This is wonderful. I like that you have a planner for all these things- not to mention fasting ***food, feelings and workout goals. I once added mood when I was working on my feelings. Blessings, I appreciate your content and transparency.
Thanks so much for your kind words. Blessings to you!😊
Thanks for sharing! The irony was having the candy on your desk, though there is room for candy in our healthy eating! :)
Yassss Sis! You got it. Love your way of thinking :)
Great video! I love how it is so simple and to the point. You can easily find your info if you wanted to look back on it.

Awesome! I can’t wait to hear how you organize it. Check back and let me know how it works for you😊

Here catching up on your videos😆
Thanks for being here😊
Great idea sweetie 👍🏼 I have a planner for almost everything but I never made one for my exercise and food so I’m gonna make one ☝️ 😂 thanks love ❤
Glad it was helpful! Let me know which planner you use to make your food and fitness planner :) Thanks for watching!

Excellent! I like your strategy. Sounds like you have a great system that works for you. And yes, those Andes were mighty tasty. Good eye my friend!😉
I don't have a planner or journal for fitness, but I do have a habit tracker to keep track of the habits that I am building.
A habit tracker is a great idea! When I need to switch things up in the future I will give that method a try. Thanks for watching Sis🥰

I have fallen so far off the exercise wagon lately. I’m not sure why I’m having such a hard time getting back to it.
Aww it’s ok Sis! We all have moments like that. Exercise can be tricky to fit in when you’re teaching and already feeling overloaded with stuff it’s can feel like one more thing to do. You’re get back at it again, and if you need a virtual workout Buddy I’m your gal😊🥰
@@planningcalm thank you so much for the motivation and your willingness to help. That is so kind.
@@BrandiJanei We sisters got to stick together :)
