Progress isn’t always about having great days. Sometimes, it’s about having better weeks. That’s one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as I navigate my recovery journey with my foot and ankle. When my orthopedic told me to focus on week-to-week improvements instead of daily highs and lows, something clicked.

I’ve started documenting my mobility progress on social media. Sharing full-body videos where you can see how I move still brings hesitation. But putting it out there feels necessary. If I’m working through it, why not let you in on the process?

Documenting progress has become a tool for reflection. It’s not just about seeing improvement now—it’s about looking back months or years from now and understanding what the process truly looked like.

I’ve started treating my treatments, using an ice compression sleeve, wearing a splint—as workouts. They’re part of my routine, and recognizing them as such helps me stay consistent.

This process reminds me of a broader truth: Progress is messy, fluid, and rarely linear. But when we embrace it and stay consistent, things start coming together.
