It is Powerful. Don’t get me wrong, knowing how much you weigh is important but don’t let that be the ONLY factor that you look at to see your progress. I use to be obsessed with how much I weighed until talking to my doctor. I didn’t realize that I had major problems with my thyroid and adrenal glands, more on that later.
Here are the 3 non-scale victories that have helped:
Your mobility and range of motion has improved- this tends to be the most underutilized in workouts. You can strengthen and lengthen muscles at the same time.
You can jump higher - I jumped a lot as a kid but as I got older, I realized how important it is to strengthen my pelvic floor. Don’t forget to bring some fun into your workouts and jumping can do just that. For those of you with a weak pelvic floor and it is challenging to jump, stay tuned.
You choose a fibrous and/or protein-enriched food over a sugary food- Decisions. Decisions. This, in turn, will affect the scale overtime. The nutrition can be the most challenging part so find a program that implements a lifestyle change. I have one that works if you need one.
In the end, I am grateful.
