One-Page Year-At-A-Glance Future Log

Birthday Log Row-Style Future Log
This layout covers four pages, each of which has three rows. Further, each row is for a month of the year. The main header is a yellow brush lettering. Additionally, the months have black separators between them. Each month has a mini-calendar of the month.

Weightloss & Measurements Tracker
This layout includes 2 sections. Further, these sections are weight loss on the left page and measurements on the right page. The weight loss tracker is like a board game that flows from the top toward the bottom. As weight is lost, Kathleen can fill in the squares. Additionally, the right side is mostly a list with space left blank to write in detail. Then, at the bottom, there is a chart for rewards. For the headers, lettering is a golden yellow brush cursive.
