weight — 23 things I got wrong before I got it right
Something I keep coming back to: weight — 23 things I got wrong before I got it right. Built an elaborate spreadsheet, abandoned it by week nine, restarted with four columns and have kept it ever since. Logged the missed weeks as blanks rather than skipping them. The gaps turned out to be the informative part. Added…
Annotated the fortnight I changed training. Without that note the numbers around it would look like a mystery.

Disagree with daily weighing. You are logging fluid, and the emotional cost is real for very little information.
A log is only interpretable if the conditions are consistent. Same day, same time, same state, same scale — otherwise you are recording measurement variability rather than change.

ahmed_abubakar is right about blanks. Silent gaps make the series lie.
Are the missed weeks in there as blanks or dropped entirely?
Small fix — that is a reconstructed entry rather than a contemporaneous one, and the post presents it as the latter.
Kept one line a week for 15 months. It was pointless for the first eight weeks and then it was the most useful document I owned.
