The middle of a change is where most people quit: too late to feel new, too early to see results.

The middle is the worst-lit part of any change. The novelty has worn off, the results have not arrived, and you are too far in to enjoy the old way and too early to enjoy the new one. Most people stop here, and they stop not from weakness but from a lack of visible evidence.

Expect that stretch and name it when it arrives. Shorten your horizon to the next two weeks rather than the whole outcome. Anything you can measure daily helps, because the middle is precisely where feelings stop being a reliable instrument.
