The end of September is almost here, and that means the Food Journal Challenge will soon be over. I've been so energized by the responses I've received thus far, and I can't wait to see what the rest of September will have in store for us! To all those who have submitted their log to me every week -keep up the good work! To those who missed a week or decided to start the challenge late -remember that it's never too late to start changing your life for the better!

"Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy, think on such things." Philippians 4:8

Let's fill our mind with positive thoughts and inspiring goals for the remainder of September! You can download my food journal template below to help keep track of all the amazing work you are doing. I am so proud to have so many hardworking clients and friends!
