Throughout the month, I went through several workout cycles, experimenting with different plans and intensity levels. But without the usual data point of the scale, I often felt like I was flying blind. I wasn’t lifting heavier, and my 5K times didn’t improve noticeably either. There was a clear sense of plateau physically and mentally—like I was stuck in place with nothing concrete to show for my effort.
But when I finally stepped on the scale to kick off a new month, the result was... uneventful. I stayed basically the same.
And that’s a win.
That one number, unchanged, gave me a huge sigh of relief. Paired with a side-by-side photo comparison, it confirmed what I suspected: not much visual change either. But most importantly—nothing got worse. That’s the signal I needed to keep going.
This experience reminded me that stability is progress. Especially when chasing long-term, sustainable change, holding steady during tough or uncertain stretches is a big deal.
Diet-wise, I’ve started slowly reintroducing carbs in hopes of breaking through some of the energy barriers I’ve been facing. As I prepare for an upcoming vacation where I won’t be restricting my diet, I’m hoping this helps my body respond better to increased carbs—both physically and mentally. It feels like the right step at the right time.
For now, I’ll keep my progress check-ins to monthly weigh-ins, but I’m already considering a shift to quarterly in the future. This month proved to me that consistency, not constant measurement, is what truly moves the needle.
Here’s to the next stage—more growth, more learning, and more patience.
