 Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and welcome if you're new here happy happy Friday It is just before 6 30 in the morning, and I'm at WW as usual But I wanted to share a couple of things about my week with you guys before I head in and then I wanted to talk to You guys about a couple of things that Have been weighing on my mind a little bit. So first let's talk about my week. My week was excellent I got in four days. Yes for of Jazz or size. I am loving my schedule where I'm going Friday after WW Saturday and then I go Monday and Wednesday and then Tuesday is an additional option for me If I'm in a position to go and get that extra workout in but this week I was really busy with real estate so that just wasn't an option for me But I am so proud of myself that I have been consistently going at least four days a week sometimes five days a week Super proud of myself for that. I have been loving loving my clean eating approach. I'm loving it you guys I am not hungry yesterday was the first day that I was actually a little bit more hungry in the afternoon where I ate my snacks I actually had to I had some hummus with some cucumbers and then I also had oh my gosh I can't remember what the other thing I had was a yogurt I had an oikos triple zero yogurt Which I will not be purchasing moving forward because they have natural flavors in them But I had a couple in my fridge that I wanted to eat up Speaking of yogurt you guys last night for dessert because I Had four time at my office, so I didn't get home until late. So I had kind of a weird dinner I had an Ezekiel English muffin with some non or some Trader Joe's organic turkey breast And a slice of cheese and avocado and then I had a Ciggy's full fat four percent Greek yogurt or Icelandic yogurt Oh my gosh, you guys where has full fat yogurt been on my life? It was so incredibly delicious I loved it so much. It was five smart points and worth every Single one of those five smart points so incredibly delicious So that is what I'm gonna be buying from now on and I found them at Walmart I was not able to find them at Fred Meyer, but other than that my food you guys no complaints It was great all week. I'm loving this whole eating again. I'm not hungry I feel like I'm making really good food choices. It's fueling my body And I'm just not missing at all the processed food and if I have a sweet snack It's either those coconut rollers from Costco or a little bit or two points worth of a lilies chocolate bar That's it. Like those are my sweet treats and I'm not feeling deprived. I'm loving it So whole food clean eating jazz or size going great My one concern and this is kind of what I wanted to talk to you guys about my one concern is my calories So in my head the last couple days I have quickly done the math for the calories that I'm consuming just in my head based on what I'm eating And I don't think I'm eating enough because whole foods fattier foods like almond butter Those types of things they have more points in them, but that doesn't mean that they have more calories So I'm a little bit concerned that I'm under eating my calories now that I've switched over to clean eating So this week I'm going to track my calories and my points And I'm just going to see where on average I fall every day versus points versus calories And I'll be sharing that with you guys in an upcoming video my clean eating 101 series because I think it's important That if we are gonna eat clean that we're for sure eating enough calories to fuel our body and not make our body go Into a mode where it thinks that we're starving is so lots more to come on that My first clean eating 101 video is out and it is on my channel where I talk about the dirty dozen in the clean 15 So important you guys. It's the foundation of clean eating. I'm gonna link it down below for you guys So now that we've talked about all these things I'm gonna go into my workshop and I'll be back to share the topic we discussed and this week's weigh-in Hi guys, I'm out of my workshop and I just have to say that The topic that was discussed this week really really hit home with me and I'll explain that a little bit later But it was thinking outside of the scale not just focusing on what the scale says Because the scale you guys is a piece of metal that we step on that tells us our gravitational pull in the universe It doesn't Make us who we are it doesn't even tell us how our journey has been necessarily Because there are so many factors that play into the weight that shows up on that metal scale every time you step on it And we get so fixated on the scale that we forget about all of the other positive things that we're doing to improve our health Our joint recovery our muscles our bodies in general We forget about all of those things and it's time to bring those back to the surface Bring them back into light and start thinking about non-scale victories So that is what our topic was this week and it came at a perfect perfect time So number one is think about three Positive changes that are not scale or weight related that you've seen over the last month So I'm gonna share mine with you guys number one The first thing that comes to mind is that I have established a consistent and consistent being the key word here Workout program with Jazzercise. It's a program. I am consistently doing. I'm loving and I am seeing Literally amazing results from that exercise program a lot of you have commented on my videos saying that my face looks a lot thinner That's just the start you guys just from Jazzercise My body has toned up so much my clothes are looser. They're fitting better I'm getting into smaller sizes of clothing even though I've lost a good amount of weight I mean not like 20 30 pounds since the beginning of the year, but I've consistently been losing weight this year I am still seeing more than that Changes in my body and my clothes and so establishing a consistent exercise is the number one change Also, you guys know I've changed my way of eating to a clean whole foods eating approach And that has made a huge difference as well not only in feeling satisfied and full throughout the day But also in my workout. I have a lot more energy I don't have that afternoon slump where I'm wanting something sugary or salty or bad for me That doesn't happen anymore and very rarely do I even eat a morning snack between breakfast and lunch? So all of those are huge victories that aren't Related to the scale and actually in my opinion are more important than any number that I would ever see on the scale So think about you and what positive changes you've made over the last month that are non scale related So number two is consider the impact these non scale victories are these changes that are not scale or weight related How have they impacted your life in general your health you're eating and for me you guys know I mentioned jazzer size has toned up my body. I'm stronger. I'm healthier I have more energy than I've ever had in that period with clean whole food eating It's just it's amazing the difference that those two things have made in my life and to be a hundred percent honest I Care less what the scale says now that I've incorporated these changes because I know that sometimes when I work out Because I work out hard my body retains water. I also know that changing your food Sometimes down the road will have a negative impact on the scale because your body is getting used to these changes both Exercise related and food related. So for me the scale just I like to see the number go down But I'm more focused on my health and the health changes that I'm seeing as far as being strong and eating good food And fueling my body with food that actually my body knows what to do with so That's what you have to do is consider the impact that these small Non-scale victories are non weight related victories and changes are having on your body and number three is enjoy your successes notice how these non-scale victories are non Weight related victories have changed your life and have changed your feelings I think it's really fun in a journal or a planner or whatever you use to kind of monitor your weight or write down Your goals write down some of your non-scale victories each week What are you noticing about your body or your health? Or how are you feeling that you're noticing that has nothing to do with the scale? Because those often make a bigger impact overall than even the weight on the scale the scale is not Everything I know we weigh in at WW and that number is supposed to be the be all and all But that number doesn't always show what actually happened the week before we all know that we can have a perfect week Where we do everything right and not see a single loss sometimes and maintain and even sometimes a gain on that scale Don't let it get you down and instead focus on all of the good things that you're doing for your body your health and For your mind your soul What are you doing that has nothing to do with the weight and focus a little bit more on that? So I love this topic and I think it's something that we need to be constantly reminded about I need to constantly remind myself because I've been on here several times where I've told you guys that I'm a little bit Frustrated with my weight loss for the week because I did all these things right throughout the week and the result just didn't show on the scale But I'm seeing so many other positive effects from all the things that I'm doing right that that number on the scale Just isn't as important. Wow That's like really freeing to say that that number just isn't the be all and all for me anymore The fact that I want to consistently move my body every week And then I want to fuel it with good whole foods is way more important to me and that's just crazy I mean wow do I want to lose weight? Absolutely, and am I losing weight? Absolutely, but it is not the be all and all for me because I feel so good with the other changes that are non-weight related that I've made So I want you guys to think about what changes you've made or even what changes you might want to make in the future That aren't weight-related that will just make you feel happier healthier and just better overall well-rounded in your body Body your mind in your soul. Alright, I love the topic as you can see I'm very passionate about it and it's become more of a passion since I've done these non-scale victories myself But with that there is also the weight loss or stepping on the scale Results that are important in our journey as well. So for me like I mentioned. I had a great week I was a little bit more hungry yesterday. So I actually had a little bit more snacky I mean whole food clean food, but a little more snacky stuff yesterday and ended up having a little bit later dinner Because of floor time. So when I stepped on the scale today I lost point four and I'll take it after almost a four-pound loss or three and a half Excuse me three and a half pound loss last week. I will take point four. It is still a loss I'm moving in the right direction and I have lost every single week So far in February and that's amazing. I'm seeing the results on the scale But more importantly, I'm seeing the results when it comes to my body and feeling stronger and healthier and more satisfied in my food Choices really really brings me so much joy and the scale. Yes, I'm happy I lost now is it in what I should have lost in my opinion for the week No, but I also know that I lost three point four last week and that sometimes your body Just can't lose that amount every single week. So I'm hoping with consistent exercise good cold foods I'll see another loss next week whether it be point this point that or pound this pound that a loss is a loss They all add up to a big number at the end of the year. So another loss this week in the book So I want to hear from you guys how your week went and what are your thoughts on Focusing more on non-scale victories than what that scale says. What are your thoughts on that? Is that something that you struggle with? Are you really fixated on the scale? Are you someone that weighs yourself every day or multiple times a day or what have you decided or Noticed a pattern of being the important piece of this weight-loss journey for you the scale or those non-scale victories and hey I'm the first one that the scale mattered a ton to and just over the last couple of weeks three weeks I've really started thinking less about that number on the scale and more about what I'm doing to better my Health and for me. I mean, it's a transition You guys know that it's been a long time that I was completely focused on the scale and I the scale still matters to me But these other things have just come to the top of the list and are more important for me So I want to hear from you guys what your thoughts are also. How was your week? Did you gain? Did you lose what was it? Was it what you expected when you stepped on the scale? And how did it make you feel with whatever way weight loss weight gain maintain whatever it was that you had this week How did that make you feel and what are you going to do to focus more on the non-scale victories?
