#track progress

Embarking on a successful journey, whether in your personal life, career, or any other goal, involves clarity, planning, and persistence. Here are ten straightforward steps to set you on the path to success:

Set Clear Goals: Define what success looks like for you. Knowing exactly what you want to achieve gives you a clear target to aim for.

Make a Plan: Break your main goal into smaller, achievable tasks. A detailed plan helps guide your daily actions and keeps you on track.

Gather Resources: Collect everything you need to succeed, like information, tools, money, or advice from experts.

Learn Continuously: Keep gaining knowledge related to your goal. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make smart decisions.

Find Support: Build a network of friends, family, or colleagues who encourage and support you. Their support can be crucial in tough times.

Take Action: Start working towards your goal. Progress happens when you move from planning to doing.

Stay Adaptable: Be ready to tweak your plan as you go along. Sometimes, unexpected challenges require you to adjust your approach.

Track Progress: Regularly check how much you've achieved. This helps you see what's working, what isn’t, and how close you are to your goal.

Keep Going: Don’t give up, even when it gets tough. Persistence is key in achieving any long-term goal.

Celebrate Successes: Enjoy your achievements, no matter how small. Celebrating keeps you motivated and happy on your journey.

today i set up the membership at a local gym. i wanted to find a 24 hour gym, but i settled for a low priced gym so i can work my way up. most likely, due to my work schedule, i'll only be working out three days a week, maybe four if i take a day off work and the hours of the gym work in my favor. 

i got new shoes yesterday and picked up an extra pair of shorts today and a post-workout hoodie (an excuse to get a pretty nike hoodie i've been looking at). the pair of shorts i had are a lot shorter than these (three inches maybe, but when you've got thunder thighs and a booty, those inches matter). once a week i think i'll pick out another pair of shorts or another pair of shorts/pants to have for the gym. 

i had debated on going in for my first night tonight, but decided i should make a plan of attack instead of going in and selecting a random thing to work on each day.
