One thing you see plastered on social media, and other fitness outlets, are stories of people’s tremendous success and amazing transformation.
People who have the quintessential side-by-side photo where they went from a size 22 to a size 4…
The new-found bodybuilders who went from flab to six-pack abs…
Or maybe they have gained some weight and went from being scrawny to being jacked…
In any event, they all have one thing in common…
They all track their progress. And if you are serious about losing weight and gaining muscle, you need to start tracking your progress as well.
How can you know if you have improved if you don’t even know where you began?
Tracking your progress is far more than just knowing your starting weight and your goal weight. For example, you might see an increase of ½ pound on the scale tomorrow morning, but that could be muscle gain.
So you may be asking… Why track your progress?
The answer to this question is simple…
What gets measured gets managed… Not only will you be able to see how far you have come, but you are also able to see the roadblocks that could be detrimental to reaching your fitness goals.

Tricks To Start Improving Your Looks Now
Achieve beauty by simply caring for your skin, body, and hair! This article has easy to follow tips on making sure every aspect of your appearance is at its best, to ensure you always look beautiful. Following this article’s advice, and maintaining consistent upkeep of your body will help you look and feel great.
New products called mattifying lotions are perfect for any makeup kit because they can be applied anywhere on the face that appears slick from excessive oils. These lotions often have a creamy or heavy gel consistency and can be applied without a mirror; it also provides a smooth foundation upon which your makeup can be applied.
Use fake eyelashes. They are actually easy to apply and can be found at a cheap price. They can really enhance the look of your eyes and are great for creating that dramatic look. You can use a look like this anytime, but it’s often a look many try to go for at night.
Brighten up your eyes with this natural look: apply a light, neutral-colored eye shadow to your entire upper eyelid. Look for sand, khaki, beige, or fawn colors. This will neutralize any redness on your lids, which can make you appear older and tired. Add drama by smudging a darker shade on the lids just in the crease.
Make sure you have Vitamin E around. Vitamin E has multiple uses. Vitamin E is wonderful for your skin; keeping it soft and fresh looking. It helps keep your cuticles nice and smooth, too.
Use lukewarm water to cleanse your face when bathing. Hot water will cause skin pores to expand, and you will lose natural oils your skin needs. When you lather up, these oils are stripped away. Bath in warm water instead to ensure your skin will be soft and supple. Cooler baths and showers will also save money on your energy bills.
If the idea of applying strips of false lashes gives you cold feet, consider single lashes instead. These are considerably easier to apply and require only a small amount of eyelash glue, compared with the amount used for full lashes. Individual lashes, when placed in the outer corner of the eyes, produce a far more natural effect.
Do not forget your hands need to be pampered too. Hands are often overlooked in beauty treatments. That is why it is said, if you want to know someones age, check their hands. In addition to daily treatment with lotion or cream, you should exfoliate your hands once a week.
Juice will help you get a healthier skin. Eating fresh produce is essential to a healthy body and skin. Fruit and vegetable juices are good for the skin, as well. Add them to your diet. In addition, if you replace any sugary drinks such as soda with fruit juice, you will help your overall health, including your skin.
If you have an overly pale appearance this can be due to iron deficiency. Take a daily iron supplement or eat a spoonful of iron-rich manuka honey. This will help you look healthier and give your skin a natural glow.
Blot oily skin. If you are out on the town and notice your face is oily, use toilet paper to blot your skin. This works as well as any blotting paper and will remove any excess oil you may have on your skin and give you a perfect flawless look.
A great way to accentuate the upper lash line and not create an overly spidery fringe is to apply a strip of the false lashes that are used for your lower lashes. Apply from corner to corner and because they are shorter than usual falsies, they will thicken the lash line and not cause excessive elongation.
Hand lotion can be a great fix for a bad hair day! In the cold of winter when static has you looking electric, rub a small amount of lotion on your hands and gently pat your hair down. In the humid summer, do the same on the ends of your hair to tame frizz!
If your hair is fine, avoid using conditioner on a daily basis. In fact, using it once or twice a week would be plenty. Instead of making your hair healthier, too much conditioner can weigh it down. Take it easy on the conditioner to keep fine hair shiny and bouncy.
Keep petroleum jelly on hand for a variety of beauty tricks. Use it for removing eye make-up, it is gentle and effective. Use it as an intensive dry skin treatment. Use petroleum jelly in place of lip gloss for healthy soft lips. It is widely available and cost effective.
If you want to fill in your brows but find pencils too harsh-looking, try a brow powder that’s a bit lighter than your hair color. Powder provides a softer look and is easier to blend than waxy pencils. You can set the powder using a brow gel or a dab of clear mascara.
For women who use makeup, a common problem is usually lipstick. A lot of ladies make the mistake of wearing bright or bold-colored lip stick. While you may want to create a dramatic look on certain occasions, neutral shades should be chosen for daily use.
When you are filing your nails, be sure to only go in one direction. If you go back and forth you are sure to weaken the nail. The stress that this causes will damage the nail plate and make your nails more susceptible to breaking a lot more easily then they will if you go in one direction when filing.
For the most natural look when shaping your brows, avoid plucking hairs above your brows, instead removing stray hairs below your brows. Plucking hairs above your brows makes it too easy to remove too much hair, resulting in sparse brows or an unnatural “surprised” look. Step back from the mirror and check your brows as you pluck, to ensure you aren’t removing too much hair.
Everyone wants to be a natural beauty, but these tips will make sure no one knows your look is not effortless. This article shows how simple it is to achieve beauty. By keeping up with many small aspects of your body, like weight, skin, and style, you can look beautiful and put together.
