Track it

The old adage, what gets measured gets managed, holds true for health and fitness too.

For a couple months I’ve been tracking my sleep. Well, I have been tracking it since 2019, but recently I’ve been making a point to look at the information each day.  I look at what time I went to bed, what my 7 night average sleep duration is and how many hours I got the night before. Ultimately, I’m aiming to get my seven night average consistently over 8 hours.

Taylor has been tracking his steps this month. Everyday he makes some decision about his schedule based on getting those 10 thousand steps in. It can be as simple as I need to walk this morning since I won’t have time this afternoon.

If you’re trying to up your sleep, or steps or protein, give tracking it a try. It’s not an immediate solution, but by tracking it, you’ll learn more about yourself and your habits, and be better equipped to make adjustments and tackle your goals.
