It’s 11 PM. You had a long day. You’re on the couch. You grab a handful of something. Maybe you “forget” to log it. Tomorrow you’ll start fresh. Right?
Except tomorrow you’re already one step behind. The moment you skip logging that last bite, you’ve told your brain that the system has loopholes. One skip becomes two. Two become “I’ll get back on track Monday.” Consistency dies in the small moments.
The 11 PM rule is simple: log everything, even the late night snack. Not to shame yourself. To keep your brain in Grit mode.
Why the last log of the day matters
When you log that final bite, you’re closing the loop. You’re saying: today counted. I showed up. Your Grit score reflects the full day, not the curated version. That honesty is what builds trust in the system. You’re not “cheating” the app. You’re not cheating yourself. You’re just recording the truth.
An AI fitness coach like Scully doesn’t judge. You say, “I had a few crackers and cheese before bed.” It logs. Your daily totals update. Tomorrow you wake up with a clean slate and a record that says you didn’t quit at 11 PM.
