Monday I started a four-column scorecard instead of arguing with myself about stopping and restarting. Date, appetite from 1 to 5, sleep minutes, and whether I hit 90g protein.
I ran it Monday through Thursday, then compared those four days with the prior 14. Appetite average went from 2.5 to 3.8, sleep dropped 35 minutes, and I missed protein twice.
That was more useful than the vague dread I had on Tuesday. I'm keeping the same sheet through Sunday before I decide whether a break is worth it.
Mildly contrarian question: has anyone else tested a pause with a tiny scorecard instead of a big decision?
