Let me tell you something-

On a Keto or any weight loss journey you are on, the hardest part is not about what food you should eat to help you loss weight; it is the habit, mindset, determination of yours that will lead you to your goal. 

I couldn't wear this coat last year because it was way too tight. This year I can wear it with some room to spare. My rings, my watch band, my bangles, my clothes all are loose on me. My skin, my health, my mind all are much better compared to last year. My face is shaping and my belly getting flatter. This is what I value! I may not have the super model figure but I am so proud and happy with my body! .

.

This is probably my hundredth time to say this and I know lots of you have noticed already, DO NOT LET THE SCALE DEFINE YOUR WORTH! I am so proud so many of you understand the scale is not the only thing to show your progress! Remember to find things that motivate you on your journey not stressing you! Mental health is as important as physical health ❤

1 hr low intensity workout

Lots of movement, I move heavy boxes (stock) on a daily basis, taking care of the boys involves lots of movement. Walk the eldest to school, walk back 5 days a week etc

I personally don't recommend to use the scale for measuring progress because that numbers can fluctuate so much with different factors.

Conclusion- I did this experiment to show how numbers on a scale can change in only 7 days with -

1. Eating out x 2 (One night was a feast night), fasting etc. I have seen lots of people are stressing out when their scale number doesn't move or goes up when you are doing your best!I know what it's like, I was one of them too! But guess what? By stressing out "IT DOES NOT HELP YOU TO YOUR GOAL". Find methods and NSV (Non Scale Victory) to keep you motivated and stay focus❤

When it comes to setting goals that are new, you need a plan, motivation and determination to get there. It is important you understand you "want to do it" instead of " Everyone else is doing it, I need to do it too".  Keep your progress in check, if one way does not yield results look for another, allow yourself to make mistakes but learn from your mistakes. Try not to compare your progress to other, surround yourself with strong, determine and, positive people. This always make your journey easier.

It is hard to stay positive and strong at times, but we all have the ability to make it work, it comes down to "do it now or later?" Later never happens.

If you put the effort in, results will show. Give it time, stop making excuses, do more, talk less.
