Progress

How do you track your progress? What type of progress motivates you the most to keep going?


I've been making progress in the gym. I have been able to increase my volume and strength. I hope I start looking stronger soon too. I have lost a little weight, not according to the scale, but I'm now able to wear clothes I couldn't before. My jeans are too big, I can now wear one of my old belts. My vests now zip and button. All that summer ice cream flab is disappearing yay!


I've been eating really good and tracking using an app. Yeah I had some Halloween candy for a couple weeks but didn't seem to hurt me. I'm doing great now. Gonna push on thru winter!

My first day at the gym, I was hooked up with a trainer who set me up with a program and taught me how to use the machines. For each machine we write the number of reps and the amount of weights we are using.. Every time I went to the gym, I would grab my sheet and check my progress and see if I could increase any of the machine weights. When I could, it was cause for celebration because it was like climbing another rung on the ladder! Seeing the progress I made on a daily basis motivated me to go every day.

Although I haven't been to the gym in years, my paper is probably sitting in the filing cabinet. It would be interesting to see how much I have lost compared to how much I gained from the last time I went.

You might not have lost as much as you think. We are capable of retaining muscle memory for years.

    check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
