Add your details and copy & paste a blank line. Try not to cock up the table
I'd encourage all users to update the table every one or two weeks. Set a reminder on your phone. The fewer dropouts the better, even if you're temporarily heading in the wrong direction. The group can rally around and help everyone along, don't be afraid to say you're struggling (illness, feeling down, mental health, lost mojo, injury).
For documentation and traceability purposes the 2022 Wiki and thread can be found here:

If you want to you can copy, paste and update your table input from the previous year (if you entered)
