We might share similar goals - to be healthy and get in better shape.
In business, it is common knowledge that "What gets measured gets improved" and we leverage this principle in our health too.
The weight on the scale. How much we deadlift. Our bodyfat. Our mile time. Etc. All of these are measurable, and with focused effort, we can improve any metric.
We will measure what matters to us. So, if our goal is to be healthier and in better shape, we can measure our behaviors, not just the outcomes.

Here are 3 habits you can focus on for the next 60 days. Try 1 or all 3, but commit to tracking your actions. What you measure gets improved!
1. EAT - more protein
If you have goals to lose weight, get stronger, or just feel better - you will need to have a grasp on how much protein you're consuming. And no, saying, "I eat pretty healthy" doesn't count.
Measure your protein intake for the next 60 days. It doesn't have to be every day, but at least 3x per week, track your intake and learn how much you're consuming and let that guide your decision to add more protein to your diet.
2. MOVE - steps!
Do you know how many steps you get in a day? Why not use the next 2 months to add in a 30-60 minute walk or jog? Use this time to clear your mind, get some time alone and increase your activity level!

3. RECOVER - sleep more!
(All the parents with young children just rolled their eyes and cringed!)
Sleep is arguably our most valuable commodity. Yet, we self-sabotage ourselves regularly! Yes parents - you too!
Your phone prevents you from getting quality (and the quantity of) sleep you need. Do you scroll right before bed? Or do you wake up and scroll? Put your phone away.
Take the next 2 months and experiment with putting your phone away at 8:30pm. Track how many days per week you do it. I'd bet money that you'll start sleeping better, and more in less than a week!
