What the Scale is NOT telling You!

So, you've been busting your butt in the gym at least 3-4 days a week, putting in work on that dreaded treadmill, eating all the right stuff for weeks now and then all of a sudden ----- BOOM!----- You stopped loosing weight, you can't get the # on the scale to change, you think your scales broken, or maybe the house has shifted so the floor must now be at a slant so that's what's throwing your numbers off, lol. If that sounds anything like you then... STOP!!! Stop NOW before you go NUTS over what you could possibly be doing wrong!

If you know that you are giving your workouts a 150% every time you train and you are staying consistent w/the right stuff then do yourself a favor and focus more on what the scale is NOT telling you --- like how strong you have become. Do you look better in your clothes? Have you lost inches? Do you have more energy and spunk? Do you FEEL AWESOME NAKED? Ok, well maybe not so much yet for some of you on the latter, but you get my drift ;). My point is stay AWAY FROM SCALE; I mean not entirely, but keep it to a minimum. I can't tell you how many clients I've had that made this same mistake and the moment I told them to quit and they actually LISTENED, they felt better about themselves, and guess what! They lost more weight, go figure!

Here's a tip: Don't weigh yourself daily, but try only once a week and the rest of the time just take notice of how you are feeling.

I like this quoted riddle: "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." So that's how you approach your weight-loss, "One bite at a time". You didn't get overweight overnight. So the weight loss takes time, patience, focus, and hard got damn work! So let's do it! If I can do it, so can you! Take care, take charge, and I'll See You at the top!
