“Let’s talk non-scale victories” – Mia

My apologies, I’m not sure how to share – I’ve hit the share button at the bottom of this blog post, several times, and I get an empty screen. Neither can I find the reblog button. Any help would be very much appreciated 🙂

So below is the information copied over from Mia’s blog, which I thought very useful, especially given my theme today :). https://newmenewmia.home.blog

Mia, thank you for letting me share this info. https://newmenewmia.home.blog

Tip 1: Measure Yourself! Dig out that tape measure and measure your hips, waist, thighs and neck and keep a record in a diary or notepad when you see those numbers changing it can be a great motivator.

Tip 2: How do your clothes feel? Do they fit better? Are they feeling baggier? This can be a sure fire way tell that you are making good progress. As I said in a post earlier this week I now own a pair of MC Hammer looking trousers! They look ridiculous but it made me feel great.

Tip 3: Endurance! Are you finding your cardio workouts easier? Can you manage a few extra minutes without feeling exhausted? If so this is a great indicator of progress. I am somewhat limited due to my fibro so I have to be careful to pace myself but when I started my little bit of exercise I could not manage more then a few minutes of Pedal biking but over time I have managed to build this up so again progress!

Tip 4: Face Gains and Definition! As your journey continues you might start to notice more muscle definition in your body. I have always had a bit of a double chin but over time I have noticed that my face is a little slimmer and I can see much more muscle definition in my legs since biking.

Tip 5: Gut Health! Might seem a strange one when talking about progress but I have noticed a massive improvement in my gut health. I have become a lot more regular which for a suffer of IBS from birth is a huge relief!

So when the scales don’t seem to be budging just look at the bigger picture and keep going!
