Focus on What Really Matters:
Off-scale Victories
This is one of my favorite topics. It's been heavy on my mind for the past couple days for a few reasons...
1-I'm pregnant and will only be getting bigger so I HAVE to focus on off-scale victories
2- Even though it's everyone's first instinct to judge progress via the number on the scale, it truly is MORE important to focus on these victories. ...
I do know for a fact that, if you're putting any kind of effort into your own fitness journey, you've accomplished at least one if not many more off-scale victories.
What I mean by this???
- you're stronger
- you've held strong to your diet
- you've gone up in weights
- you can fit into those old jeans
- you've stopped modifying the workouts
- you've stopped taking extra breaks in the workouts
- others have seen change in you
- you've built confidence
- you've lost INCHES!
- you've inspired someone else
- you've motivated everyone in this group
- you've become someone that others can go to for advice about fitness because they see you working so hard
-YOU DID THIS. I can't do any of these things for you.
...
It's been your choice to start your journey and to push your hardest.... and that, my friends, is an off-scale victory.
...
Weight fluctuates throughout the day. The number on the scale can change with every sip of water you take. Focus on the FACTS.
