What Your Scale Won't Tell You

 

Isn't this the ugly truth?
Every time I got upon that weighing scale while on a fitness journey I always skipped a heartbeat until I realized how the weighing scale was just not the right way of scaling my progress. As long as we are progressing we are happy but the moment the scale stops reducing we get frustrated and demotivated and would want to just give up. This fluctuation or increase in weight might not just be due to fat gain there are several more factors that contribute to these fluctuations.

Scale can't tell you whether you are stressed, have a hormonal imbalance, or have had sleepless nights and are dehydrated these are the major factors leading to weight gain while you are still on the deficit and doing extremely well in your weight loss journey.

Instead of getting stressed and making it even more worst take a step back and check if you fit in your old clothes, and if your energy levels and stamina have gone up. Weight is just a number don't let it quantify your hard work and grit. There is always a better parameter to compare your progress.

Celebrate every milestone before you create the next new milestone. Just remember there are many who want to reach where you are today. What matters is you are already on that journey progressing each day and the day is not far when you will finally reach your goal.

Make A Change

  The choices you make every day in terms of your food define your future. A lot of lifestyle disorders like diabetes, Thyroid, BP, PCOD, and PCOS are caused due to wrong eating habits and no workouts. With food we have around 30 choices every week, so 30 opportunities for us to fix our lifestyle. So you still have options to eat what you currently eating or make changes to switch to better nutritional intake. It can't be more simple, isn't it? So what say? Are you going to make changes with food and help yourself shape a better future? One meal at a time can still make a huge impact.

HOW TO DRINK MORE WATER

  HOW TO DRINK MORE WATER I drink around 4-5 litres of water every day in summers while completing even 4 litres during monsoon and winters becomes a common challenge. So here are some tips on how I complete my water intake. 1. I fill 4 bottles of water every 1 litre and time myself to finish it every 4 hrs. I wake up at 5 so my first bottle has to be complete before 8 as I do my workouts early morning The second bottle to finish by 12 pm being the busiest part of my day. The third bottle I time to finish before 4.  Finally the last bottle before 7 pm. After that, anything I drink is a bonus. 2. I always sip and drink water never gulp it at one go. 3. While at work I keep the bottle right in front of my laptop, the thumb rule is every time I see the bottle ill take a sip of it. You won't even realise the bottle getting finished. 4. The same while watching television I keep sipping water in between commercials. 5. Drink a glass of water after using the washroom. 6. Drink a glass of

  HOW TO WAKE UP EARLY: In my previous post, I explained waking up at Brahma Muhurta and its benefits. Thank you so much for all the appreciation. I am very much confident all those who commented about waking up 30 min before must already be nailing it into their everyday routine. Let's discuss some tips on how to wake up early to embrace the benefits of Brahma Muhurta. Trust me I have been struggling through the same until I started making small changes which helped me to align myself to waking up at 5 am. Some tips are: Start sleeping early.

They are the biggest distraction. Head, foot, body massage, or warm water bath relaxes your body an
