I built my tracking sheet around side effects, protein, and a 7-day weight trend. Somewhere around day 60 I added a fourth tab. It logs unplanned things: dinner with friends, a long walk with no podcast, saying yes to a Saturday plan without running an energy budget first.
The scale line is down 14.2 lb since the first entry, and my trendline is almost embarrassingly straight. But that tab shows 9 spontaneous yeses this month versus 1 in February. Tirz didn’t hand me a new personality, and I’m not ready to call it getting my life back, because that phrase feels too tidy.
What I can measure is that I’m not treating every invite like a math problem with a hidden cost. Anyone else tracking a non-scale column that made the shift visible?
