We’ve all been there before…you are working out, eating right and you still aren’t losing weight. This doesn’t mean you are aren’t making progress towards your goals, but it might mean we need to create non scale related goals.
Looking for a great listen about goals – check out the new podcast’s on audible my Mel Robbins.
7 Reasons you aren’t losing weight
- High Stress
- High Cortisol levels
- Not enough sleep
- Not enough water
- Ate something high in sodium
- Ate something you have a food sensitivity too
- Haven’t gone to the bathroom
When you find yourself in this spot, it’s time to focus on non-scale wins that keep you in the game and moving forward.
Working out…
Trying to establish a new workout routine (which aides in getting healthier and losing weight) – focus on getting the workout done, getting the workout done 5 out of 7 days, improving your strength, reducing inches and seeing your hard work in how your clothes fit, in pictures or in the mirror.
Want to improve your nutrition? Non-scale goals can be:
- Got in 5 cups of veggies today
- I only ate chocolate once today
- We cooked 6 of 7 dinners at home this week
- I didn’t buy a snack from the vending machine
We aren’t talking HUGE goals here, just something small that can be done daily that adds up over time to helping you reach your big goals and lose weight. It’s the same principles we were taught to achieve any goal in life – make them realistic, attainable and something you don’t hate!
Share your non-scale goals with a friend, coach, family member and then celebrate together when you reach them! This type of accountability is what keeps you going for the next one! This kind of accountability is also what we love doing. Want to read more, click here.
