Summary

Comparison has often been called “the thief of joy” and I agree with that statement.

The healthiest comparison to make is to where you were the day before. You can do that by tracking and recording your workouts and seeing the progress you have made. Personally, I use an app called “Beyond the Whiteboard” that helps me keep track of all my workouts and the Carbon Diet Coach for my food intake.
