Like Mike said on the cover, it’s all too easy to lose sight of the progress we’ve made when we’re focused on how far we have to go. One of the ways to overcome this tendency is to track our progress with tools like journaling. Whether your goal is sticking with your workouts, sticking to healthy foods, or getting some movement in every day, these steps will set you up for success. Step 1: Decide how you’re going to track your progress. Journaling can be a great way to do this. When we write down our experiences and our moods associated with them, it teaches us that our behavior matters. For example, if you work out and feel great after, recording that feeling can help you connect those positive benefits to your actions. The next time you’re tempted to skip a workout, you’ll have that
reminder to fall back on. You don’t have to spend hours on an entry, either. It can be a small daily check- in noting the habit you stuck with and how you felt after. Use a notebook or calendar to keep track of your progress. Step 2: Keep yourself accountable. You’re off to a great start by recording your progress. To keep that momentum going, it’s important to share what you’re working toward with others. This can be especially helpful on days when it’s hard to see any progress. A friend or family member will remind you of how far you’ve come and give you encouragement to keep going. Step 3: Celebrate your success. You stuck to your workout program for three months! That’s something to celebrate! Now that you’ve put in all the time to track your
progress, take a moment to acknowledge your success and accomplishments. Small rewards along the way will help you stay motivated and provide further encouragement. Call a friend so they can celebrate with you. As you continue on your health and fitness journey, we’re here for you! Reach out to the encouraging team at Kinetic PT Specialists with any questions or concerns. If you notice pain or mobility issues during your workouts, we’ll work with you to identify what’s going on and provide the customized treatment to get you back on track with your goals.

INGREDIENTS • 1/2 cup oil (extra-virgin olive oil recommended) • 1/4 cup vinegar (apple cider vinegar recommended) • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 4 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp dried oregano • 1/2 tsp salt (Himalayan pink salt recommended) • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper • Cayenne pepper, to taste
DIRECTIONS 1. In a bowl, add all ingredients except cayenne and whisk until well mixed. If desired, add cayenne pepper a little at a time until you reach your preferred level of spiciness. 2. Serve immediately or, for an even better taste and texture, refrigerate for 1–2 days. 3. You may increase the batch size, but keep the ratio of oil and vinegar the same — 2-to-1. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 months.
