Nutrition Journaling and Fitness Apps in the Time of COVID-19

I too can relate to the frustrations of weighing scale progress plateaus. With it seems all our hard work has come to nothing. But that is not a positive approach to living both in terms of mindset and perspective as it will affect our behaviors, feelings and attitude.

At the start of this year, I discovered journalling and decided to really integrate it to every aspect of my life — health, fitness, beauty, fashion, finance, travel, postgraduate studies, career, among others. The health aspect I further categorized into medical checkups, weight loss, fitness activities and nutrition goals. Being a perfectionist, like most people, I used to be obsessed with just the weighing scale or tape measure aspect of progress. But now with health journaling, MyFitnessPal and Samsung Health apps, I have discovered a more holistic approach to assessing weight loss and health and fitness progress.

To conclude, do not get discouraged with weighing scale progress plateaus as they are but fluctuating numbers due to varying reasons. Change your lifestyle, eat healthy and nutritious. That is the secret to consistency and long-term fitness!
