The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me track fitness progress simply.

What I do: [walks, gym, runs]
Metrics I care about: [consistency, distance, how I feel — not medical data unless my clinician asked]
How often I'll log: [daily/weekly]
Tool: [notes / Sheets / app I already have]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Three metrics max.
2. A simple log layout.
3. A fortnightly review ritual.
4. What not to obsess over.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent diagnoses, doses, calorie targets or treatment plans. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example
