I’m always harassing my guys at the gym to track their results. I tell them “It’s hard to develop a realistic picture of where you’d like to be in the future if you don’t have a through understanding of where you’re currently at…” and tracking your data helps you to do that. It’s unbelievably empowering.
I made a commitment when I started this Whole30 to keep a daily training and food log and post in on my personal blog (this site) to 1. keep me accountable to the people (in my gym) who are doing the Whole30 with me and 2. for me to gain an extremely clear picture of what’s happening to my body (mental, emotional and physical) as well as how my training is progressing over the month of July as I strip out all inflammatory food out of my diet.
Tracking your training data is a non negotiable and while I have tracked everything I consume each day, it’s not something you have to do (track your food)Â if you don’t want to. If you choose to leave out tracking your food that’s ok but I’d strongly encourage you to get empowered through the tracking of your energy levels and emotional journey. The more data you have, the more you can learn and knowledge is power right?
