Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I’m weighing myself every morning and letting that one jumpy number decide whether the whole thing is working
• I keep following all the "healthy food" lists and still feel wrecked after meals other people swear by
• I don’t have a heart rate strap and I never trust the wrist reading anyway, so I’m left guessing whether I’m actually in the right zone
• I can see exactly which days I slip but I have no idea why some days I follow through and others I don’t
• My days have all blurred into one long flat stretch where I’m sure nothing makes any difference
