Made this after watching (and doing) the same thing over and over: start strong, miss a week, feel like garbage, quit entirely.

Turns out the fix isn't more willpower, it's one weekly check-in — same 4 questions, every week, rain or shine:

1. What did I commit to this week?

2. What did I actually do?

3. What got in the way, if anything?

4. What's one adjustment for next week?

That's it. No scale, no guilt, just a status report. Free template's attached if you want to copy it into a notes app or share it with a workout partner.

(If it's useful and you want the fuller system — how to pick an accountability partner, what to do the week you fall off completely — I put together a longer guide too, happy to share the link if anyone wants it.)
