It's not always a straight shot to the top
I've definitely hit a plateau with my CW practice. The past week I've pretty much have gotten nowhere in my advancement in learning CW. But I'm somehow still happy with how things are going. Mainly because I'm not allowing myself to be phased by the lack of progress.
All of us who have tried to meet a measurable goal; whether it's learning a skill, losing weight, strength training, etc. we've hit a plateau now and then when all progress stops. One can either plow through it, or find an excuse to claim to be a valid reason to stop. I'm going to plow through.
Can no longer fool myself when I now see the data
On a side note I finally purchased a Garmin Instinct 2 GPS watch. I wish I broke down and got one years ago. It is going to be a game changer for both my outdoors activities and improving my productivity at work. They are simply amazing devices that I feel are really worth the price.
After wearing it a few days now, the information it provides is simply amazing to me. Although one metric I did find disappointing. My cardio metrics are much worse than I was leading myself to believe.
I know I don't have the wind I used to have years ago, but I have been in denial has to how much I've let it slip. Time to change that too.
