Stress Relief

Your Workout Today
Here's a place to announce what you "plan" or "did" do today to move your body. From my own experience when I make a plan public I almost always get it done. Brag on yourself, maintain your plan and/or inspire someone else. It ALL counts.
Vital Signs
What values, measurements or stats are you tracking right now? I'm checking my weight about weekly. I don't count calories but I do try to get about 20 grams of protein with each meal. I'm tracking my workouts and shooting for 3 per week. I'm always tracking my mood, sleep quality and stress levels and trying to keep those…
