Twelve markers worth watching
Pick three or four. Tracking everything is how tracking stops.
- Afternoon energy is steadier.
- You fall asleep more easily, or wake less often.
- Stairs feel less like an event.
- Walking distance or recovery has improved.
- Clothes are more comfortable, whatever the size label says.
- Meals happen more regularly.
- Hydration is less of an afterthought.
- Movement happens on ordinary days, not only motivated ones.
- A hard day no longer cancels the week.
- Self-talk after a setback is kinder.
- You ask your clinician better questions.
- You notice progress without needing the scale to confirm it.
