Don’t Reset Your Baseline: The Multi-Tracker Trap · Ryan's Journal

• 0:07
  You, you switch from a Fitbit to a Whoop or an Apple Watch,
• 0:11
  and boom, your momentum is just totally wiped out!
• 0:14
  Craig called it, he said do not mess with your data!
• 0:18
  You change the instrument, you reset the whole baseline!
• 0:22
  Oh, Craig was dead on with that one.
• 0:25
  See, back in the WWF, if Gorilla Monsoon was giving you the play by play and Bobby
• 0:32
  "The Brain" Heenan was managing your corner, you didn't just fire Bobby because a
• 0:37
  new guy in a shiny suit walked in the locker room.
• 0:40
  You, you, you stick with what brought you to the dance!
• 0:44
  You swap your Fitbit Inspire 3 for a Whoop or a Withings just because it has some
• 0:49
  fancy heart feature, and now your historical metrics are completely corrupted,
• 0:54
  ruined!
• 0:55
  Totally ruined!
• 0:56
  And look at what is actually being accomplished here, look at the sheer numbers!
• 1:01
  Dropping from three hundred and seven pounds down to two hundred and fifty-five
• 1:06
  pounds while taking six hundred milligrams of Seroquel every single day?
• 1:12
  That is massive victory!
• 1:15
  That puts you right in the elite ten to fifteen percent tier of people who actually
• 1:21
  keep the weight off!
• 1:23
  It really does.
• 1:24
  That medication metabolic wall is no joke, man.
• 1:27
  Going from three hundred and seven down to two fifty-five, er,
• 1:31
  even two forty-nine at one point, that is a monumental physical win.
• 1:35
  But then some bully comes along on the internet or in town,
• 1:38
  talking about, oh, Whoop is better, or bringing up old insults,
• 1:41
  and they try to bully your achievement, try to ruin your confidence.
• 1:45
  They try to drag down the momentum because they cannot match the results!
• 1:50
  It is pure jealousy!
• 1:52
  So if you want the extra tracking, you do not throw away the original baseline.
• 1:57
  You stack!
• 1:58
  Look at consumer expert Clark Howard on television.
• 2:01
  He wears a Garmin fitness tracker on his right wrist and a Samsung smartwatch on his
• 2:06
  left wrist!
• 2:07
  He literally wears two watches, plus a health ring, creating his own suit of digital
• 2:12
  nannies!
• 2:13
  Yeah, Clark Howard!
• 2:15
  I saw that, he has got the Garmin nagging him to work out on one arm,
• 2:18
  the Samsung synced to his phone on the other.
• 2:21
  So look, if you want safety, put your Medical Guardian emergency watch on the second
• 2:25
  wrist.
• 2:26
  Keep your Fitbit data clean on the first, put the emergency watch on the other arm.
• 2:30
  You got two arms, use 'em!
• 2:31
  Two arms, two wrists, maximum power!
• 2:35
  That is how you protect your hard earned victory from the bullies and keep pushing
• 2:41
  forward!
