Weekly Activity Diary

How to fill out your Weekly Activity Diary:

  • Print out the weekly activity sheet and fill it in with your current usual weekly activities.
  • Now go back over it and identify the things you ‘have to do’ with an H, the ‘should do’ with an S, and the ‘would like to do’ with a W.
  • Is there something missing, such as time out for you? Make a list of things you would like to do for yourself, no matter how big or small.

The Program to Reduce Incontinence by Diet and Exercise (PRIDE) saw women randomly assigned to either an intensive six-month weight-loss program of diet, exercise and behaviour modification, or to a group that received information about diet and exercise, but no training to help them change habits.
