Your Scales

Your scales don't tell the whole truth they can be easily skewed. Your weight varies wildly on the time of day you step onto the scale, whether you just took a shower, clothes you're wearing, recent bowel movements, water retention, skeleton mass, muscle mass etc. Some things you can control, somethings you obviously can't, which is why it's fine to use a scale as one of the measurements of your weight loss progress, but it shouldn't be the only measurement.

Going forward will shall be using different measurement tools these will be items of clothing, pictures, tape measurements and how you feel within yourself. These will act as our markers to continue to progress forward and keep you accountable, we shall be doing this every 2-4 weeks.

 When the voices start to creep into your head about getting on the scales or how much heavier would this make the scale if I did that or I did this... etc. I've brainstormed some things to distract yourself with:

Usually that's all it takes is a little distraction, you'll get through the uncomfortable feeling of really wanting whatever it is you really want and you'll feel like you conquered the world when you don't give in!

1. If you are at a restaurant as soon as possible order a green salad with vinaigrette dressing to keep you occupied when the breadbasket comes - or make an advanced decision not to have it.

2. Instead of dessert tonight, foam Roll your entire body and stretch from head to toe!

3. Go try on all of the clothes in your closet. See what fits, what doesn't and clean out anything you haven't worn in a year. Or at least try everything on that you feel good in to give you a boost.

4. Hit the shops and buy yourself a new outfit! Nothing feels better!

5. Wearing something you feel good and confident in when you head out to dinner will remind you - Nothing Tastes as Good as Lean and Sexy Feels!

15. Log on to Facebook, which can be an easy way to use up some time. Check out what some of the people who inspire you have been doing, read their blogs or articles. If you get bored on Facebook head over to twitter.

16. Make yourself a tall glass or in a wine glass of sparkling water with sliced oranges, lemons, limes and/or cucumbers or mint leaves. Is that a Mojito? Sometimes having a glass of wine can be pretend...

17. Have a comfy place that's cozy and relaxing where you can go and just zone out with fluffy pillows, a comfy chair, windows or outside and chill. You can read or just relax and breathe. BUT if you find you can't stop thinking about what you are craving switch gears and get a workout done. Nothing like breaking a sweat to get you refocused.
