Description:

In the past I participated in Rosedzi's weight loss journal swaps. While I was looking to message her about possibly doing another round I found that she is no longer with us. Since I can't ask for permission I hope no one gets offended that I am using her idea for a swap. If enough support is around I will gladly host every month

For this month’s journal, you will begin the journal with an introduction about yourself, which can include reasons why you want to lose weight, your current path to weight loss, challenges to your weight loss, and anything else you may wish to tell your partner before beginning the month. You will also include any goals you have for the month.

At the beginning of each week, you will write out your goals for the week. After which your entries can include what you ate for the day, your exercise, how your day went, your thoughts on your goals, recipes, pictures of your food, pieces of food packaging, or anything else you wish to include. You should aim to write something every single day. At the end of each week, make sure to reflect on how you did on your goals. Then the next week start over. You can also include before and after photos or any photos of yourself if you wish. The point is to make the swap work for you as well as be something to help keep both yourself and your partner motivated and on track. The swap will go til September 1st and the last entry for the month will be Sept 30th however the send by date will be October 9th.

Since this is my first swap hosting in a while I'm posting the rating requirement at 5 because it does take time and effort, I'd hate to have someone flake. However I will angel if necessary.

Hi, Up above, is the swap suppose to go "til October 1st"?

aprilivy 08/11/2015 #

Yes Sorry about that.

AZmom875 08/11/2015 #

Wait, close up is AUG 31st. so we do this for a month Sept 1st til the end of SEPT and we mail the very next day? OCT 1st?

I like the idea but need the dates clarified.

aprilivy 08/11/2015 #

I edited the swap to clarify.

Last day to sign up is Aug 31. The must send by date is Oct 9th.

I hope that helps.

AZmom875 08/11/2015 #

Yes perfect.

This might be really obvious, but are we supposed to use an actual journal so that next month we are continuing in the journal that we receive? Or can this be a small handmade journal with pages stapled together and a cover that we decorate? Should we hand write our entries, or type them up?

I'm unfortunately not able to commit to this swap because of my crazy work schedule in September. I am in love with this idea though and I want to encourage this swap to continue in October, I think it would do wonders for motivation.

@ktmcg82 Just a small notebook works. Each month will get its own notebook. Handwritten is preferred as it helps you with motivation to actually write it down and makes it personal for your partner.

@Emurray I'm totally okay with hosting for as long as people are interested.

Um If I making a small notebook about my lose weight and myself introduce, etc?

aprilivy 09/ 5/2015 #

@Draculadeaf making a small notebook is okay as long as it looks decent and doesn't fall apart easily. Hopefully that helps.
