Keeping track of your activity
helps to keep you accountable. It

plan so that you can achieve
your goals.

There is no better way to stay
motivated than to see the
decrease in numbers on the

have been achieved, the process
of tracking your progress
promotes good habits. When
you see results, you remember
all the good things that you did
to achieve your goals and
commit to doing these things
consistently.
