Every so often I have my clients do update pictures to see where their progress is. As I’ve shared before that’s one of the best ways to see where progress is being made and where were still may need to be done.
The other day I checked in with one of my clients to see how they were doing after our make it right get it tight workout session the day prior and their response was
“ Hey Crystal! SORE, but I’m moving. I had a non-scale victory one of my shirts that was tight on my back is not anymore.”
They are so many non-scale victories people can use to let them know they are going to right direction rather than stepping on the scale and the scale not telling them anything other than a number.
Please understand me clearly, even if the scale number did not read the number you hoped for at that moment in your journey yet you’ve noticed difference that has benefited your life since you started your journey then that should definitely outshine what the number reads. Yes I know the “But I just wish that….” Recondition your mind to learn how to accept The good things that are happening to you even if they’re small and not allowing the scale to steal your joy. Yes it’s an added bonus if the scale number reads what you want it to but remember overall health is the ultimate no matter what The scale me read. If you’re not feeling healthy even if the scale reads a happy number for you that’s still an issue.
Here are some re-focus ways you can go through your journey to know you are still heading the right direction with your health and fitness plan
