How often do you take a look at your progress?
As a coach, this is a practice in which I engage clients (and myself!) regularly. Motivation, as we tend to think of it, is fleeting; the get-up-and-go feeling doesn’t last forever. Taking stock of where you’ve been, and where you’re going, is a reliable tool to use when you’re wondering why you keep putting one foot in front of the other day in and day out.
That being said, I am a Health at Every Size-aligned coach who does not coach intentional weight loss, so my progress-tracking methods are a bit unconventional, as far as fitness goes. Rather than lining up numbers to compare and contrast, I prefer to ask more open-ended questions, leaving space for each client to discuss what they see with the goals that matter to them.
