Learn: What circumstances preceded the events that led to it?
Plan: Is there a way to make it easier for you to stick to your goals in the future?

“What can I do today that adds value to me tomorrow.”
It’s easy to succumb to short term convenience and comforts when we are tired, hungry, stressed or overwhelmed. Especially at the end of a long day or week.
Most of us do not deviate from our action plan when things are easy. We veer off track when things get hard, inconvenient, or require more effort than we expect.
When this inevitably happens. Shift your mindset and REMEMBER that your long term goals are valuable and hold a greater purpose than how you feel in this fleeting moment.
Stay true to what you know you should do. Keep the promises you made to yourself. Your tomorrow self will thank you that you persevered today.
Every week I have the opportunity to hear how my 1 on 1 clients stay consistent to their long term goals despite their circumstances and about the rewards and benefits they see because of their previous consistency.
We call these Non Scale Victories and I have all my clients share at least one with me each check in.
Next are a few non scale victories that were shared with me recently.
Eating well and nailing their full body resistance workouts while on full time kid duty and a husband out of town. This includes a very active, nap skipping toddler!
Keeping to their nutritional goals despite the stress of moving halfway around the world, starting a new job, finding a car, and a new home.
Getting to play in the snow and keep up with their kid for sled riding.
Having someone comment about how buff their arms are now.
Seeing noticeable quad growth while waist measurements stay the same. Lean Gains!
We all lead full and busy lives.
It’s easy to get lost in the chaos of the moment.
Hold strong.
We are all more capable and resilient than we realize.
On your own fitness journey pay attention to your many non scale victories.
Victories such as:
Increased strength, endurance and mobility
Increased self confidence and self efficacy
Less anxiety around food
Better Sleep
More ability to cope with negative stressors and less overall stress
More energy for daily tasks
Less joint and muscle aches or pains
Allow these victories to help you remember that making your fitness a priority is always worth it.
