    It's all about what motivates you. Myself, having grown up on RPGs and the like, keeping a very, very detailed workout log each session proves to me as I watch my numbers improve from week to week (feels like leveling up) that what I'm doing is not a waste. You get used to the way your body looks since you see it every day, so little aesthetic improvements go unnoticed consistently enough that even bigger, cumulative improvements can fly under the radar. With a journal, you can be sure that you really are getting bigger and stronger IF that's your goal. For me, it is. I don't care about playing sports or competing. I want to be strong, lean, and fit. If your goals lie elsewhere, then you need to identify the metrics which are most important to you and track them over time to become a believer in the power of your own efforts.

    Also, TC, I think you're overdoing it. Working out TOO hard and TOO often will stagnate your fat loss AND muscle gain as a consequence of too much cortisol secretion, cortisol being the primary long-term stress hormone. Can you post a nice, detailed list of your day-to-day activities?
