Learning to Stick With It

from One Year, No Excuses · host Chris Hawkins

Week three wasn’t louder — it was lighter. And that matters. In this episode of One Year, No Excuses, I share my Week 3 check-in and reflect on what it looks like to stay encouraged without pretending everything is perfect. I walk through my weekly checklist around faith, focus, andcreation — naming the yeses, the nos, and the “mostly” — and talk about why encouragement often sustains discipline longer than pressure ever could. This week, I also share my starting weight and measurementsfor the first time — not as a goal, not as hype, but as honest data to ground the process in reality. We talk about: Why progress doesn’t always announce itself How “mostly” can be movement, not failure Why quiet habits are often the ones that last The difference between pressure-driven discipline and sustainable consistency How to stay engaged without turning self-improvement into self-punishment This podcast isn’t about perfection, expertise, or having itall figured out. It’s about showing up honestly, paying attention, and staying in the work — one week at a time. If you’ve ever felt discouraged because your progress didn’tfeel dramatic, this episode is for you. One year. No excuses. Just showing up.
