Body Mass IndexIt is widely accepted that being overweight or underweight presents health risks and a proneness to developing certain diseases, de ciencies or injuries. Body Mass Index (BMI) can be used as a general guide to estimate your total amount of body fat and whether your weight is in a healthy range for your height. To calculate your BMI divide your weight in kilograms by your height in metres squared, ie kg / m2.

If you choose to calculate your BMI, present the result to your health care professional for interpretation and advice speci c to you.

Given the relevance of capturing your physical condition details in this journal, a Wellness Watch tool is provided.

Minor ailments (eg common cold, muscular strains, sports injuries etc) may lead you to seek treatment and/or advice from a health care professional.

As symptoms appear, it may help to record noticeable changes so you can speak to your health care professional with certainty about the order and rate at which symptoms appear and disappear. (Naturally, this tool does not apply to emergencies or obvious sudden illnesses for which you would seek immediate medical attention.)

You’ve written down ‘where’ you want to be, ie what your well-being journey is about and your physical condition as it is now. But what do you speci cally want to achieve? And what measures do you need to monitor so you’ll know whether you’ve succeeded in achieving your ideal state of well-being?

You need to de ne your goal/s. Measurable and speci c – not vague, that is the key here! Goals must be achievable and realistic, but the main thing to ensure is that you can look at your goal and objectively assess your progress. Remember the saying “numbers don’t lie”. When you describe how you are going to review your progress, use statements with numbers wherever possible. For example:

write - “I want my weight to be in the range of X kg/lbs to Y kg/lbs”

rather than – “I want to lose weight”

My Goals will help you break down your ideals into simple, achievable statements. Prompted statements are provided to give you a kick-start and help streamline your aspirations into measurable tracking devices. You want to be able to categorically know “Yes, I achieved XYZ”, or “No, I need to keep working.”

Applying a speci c completion date is essential so you can check how far you’ve ‘journeyed’ within an allotted timeframe.

Six My Goals pages are provided; use one or all of them. Your priorities might change and as time passes you may want to set new goals.

Commonly, people are inspired and driven at the outset of any new venture only to nd their enthusiasm and diligence wanes. It is widely accepted that forming a new habit requires repeating the behaviour many times. The number of repetitions and length of time this takes differs for each of us. Your biggest challenge for long term behaviour change may therefore be the early days of your new well-being regime.

Here’s a simple tool for pre-empting apathy or a change of heart, just in case this happens to you. It may be overkill for the highly disciplined. Even so, it’s recommended that you ll this out now. After all, forewarned is forearmed!

If a symptom of apathy appears, ip to this tool to remind yourself how you can overcome indifference and eliminate excuses that may hinder your progress towards better well-being.

Be rm with yourself at this point and you may nd strength from your own words later on.

This journal does not recommend any particular method or program for steering you toward a better state of well-being. Your needs are individual and speci�c. You might be following a structured program from week to week or prefer to live more spontaneously. Whatever your situation, this section allows you to monitor the following factors as a general indication of your state of well-being:

rns

This tool helps you plan and monitor your behaviours across the well-being aspects de�ned above.

General HealthA generalisation of how you rate your health on a daily basis, eg good,

r.

Sleep Pattern and/or Hoursrd your sleeping patterns, eg

restless, sound; and the number of hours, if you wish.

Healthy EatingWhen embarking on a new well-being regime you may choose to watch your dietary habits closely and alter them. A revised eating plan may compliment a new physical activity program and help achieve goals such as body toning, improved medical test results or losing/gaining/maintaining weight.

Because there is a vast array of published healthy eating plans available, this tool merely provides the place to capture your food intake and applicable calculations or summaries. This tool works on the premise that you will gather all the information you want or need, to learn about:

�c needs are for healthy eating;

roups will affect your health; andrding eating programs that best suit you.

It is particularly recommended that your healthy eating plan be decided with advice from a medical professional and/or dietitian.

Physical ActivityProvided you are active within your body’s limitations, your health and well-being will bene�t from regular physical activity. There is a vast array of exercise, sport and recreation pursuits from which to choose. Whatever your physical activity involves – be it weights training, walking or running kilometres, swimming, playing team sports – this tool uses the measure of active time as a tracking device.

Relaxation & BalanceIt may seem contradictory to track relaxation. However, for many of us the demands of modern life mean we have to consciously make time for ourselves and prioritise ‘time-out’. Use the Weekly Well-Being Tracker to prompt yourself that time for you is important to overall well-being. Record your moments of ‘me-time’ and what you did. At a glance you can monitor whether you are getting enough relaxation and balance.

A Progress Tracker is included every three weeks. Use this page to re�ect upon your achievements for the previous period. Use the tracker to assess your progress and whether you’re getting the most from your efforts and chosen programs. Think of it as your conscience giving you a little nudge to be sure you’re being true to yourself. Write as little or as much as you need.This may also be the time to re-visit your medical practitioner, dietitian or other health professional. If necessary, make changes to your healthy eating, physical activity or other well-being program inclusions to ensure maximum progress towards your goals.
