6️⃣ Non-Scale Victories🎉 TAG A FRIEND THATS LOSING FAT!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every morning, when we step on the scale, there are two possible outcomes. 📈Weight could be up. 📉Weight could be down. For those emotionally attached to seeing the number drop.. y’all are leaving your happiness to a flip of a coin! 😫 Detach yourself from it. Free yourself from it and use these 6 non scale victories as reminders that YOU ARE PROGRESSING. 🙏🏾
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📷 Progress Pictures- There is nothing like looking at a transformation picture of yourself, and seeing change! 🤳🏽 I recommend taking them somewhere around 10-13 days apart. Many people like to say they use the mirror.. but we see ourselves everyday! Tracking and seeing the visual progression will keep you motivated and from stressing off the scale.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💪🏾Stronger Lifts- PROGRESS shouldn’t be solely determined by how much you lose, what about how much you can lift?! Make sure to track your gym sessions! If you can lift more weight or do the same weight for more reps, YOU‘RE GETTING STRONGER!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😏Getting Compliments- My clients will sometimes say, “Johnny from accounting said I was looking super fit today!” 😍 But then follow it up with “but I don’t know..” COME ON!!! You really think someone would go out of their way to make up a compliment to mess with you? 🤷🏽‍♂️ You take that compliment and eat it up! 🙋🏽‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📊Measurements- Tracking inches is a must! There are so many different factors as to why the scale can go up and down.. But if your waist is shrinking that means one thing- FAT LOSS.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👚Clothes Fit- Anytime your pants start feeling loose, CELEBRATE! When your arm gains start filling in your sleeves 👕 CELEBRATE! You’ll ALWAYS feel better in your clothes as you decrease body fat.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧠 Mindset- Anytime we catch ourselves making steps towards better mindset, we should celebrate! Whether it be stopping at one slice of 🍕 pizza, getting back on the grind right after a vacation, not beating yourself up for a slip up, or.. heck I don’t know.. maybe FINALLY looking at the scale objectively!

Here’s a little for you guys for to aid in the turn up this weekend! 🎃 🔥
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😈😇I’m a firm believer in balance! So, I will almost always encourage my clients to make sure to let loose from time to time. Trying to eliminate something completely, whether it be a certain food or alcohol, in hopes to drop fat is unnecessary! 🤷🏽‍♂️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙋🏽‍♂️Keep these points in mind:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥛It’ll be easier to track hard liquor, the less ingredients in a drink the more likely it’ll be an accurate read. 🍹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📲We log it as either fat or carb to act as a placeholder for calories. If you tracked your macros and logged alcohol without doing so you will end up going way over your calories, but your PFC macros will look on point. Alcohol has 7cal per gram which is unaccounted for on the nutrition labels. 📚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’ve lost some body fat already AND already cut back drinking on drinking, take it slow! You’ll get buzzed much quicker 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Plan and log your drinks ahead of time, most people have trouble with Myfitnesspal while a little tipsy. And if needed, make sure to save room for drunk munchies 🍔 🍟 🌮
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope everyone has an amazing Halloween Weekend! 👹🤠 🎃

⏰Weighing in daily is something I require of my clients!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
TAG A FRIEND THAT HATES THE SCALE
📉I actually pulled these weights from an archived client. Imagine if Client X 😎 was following the plan but only weighed in the day of check ins.. he/she would then see 138, 138, 138, 138 week after week😫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Imagine that stress!! What am i doing wrong!? 😰 “My body is stubborn! 💊What supplements can I add in!? Should I sauna?! Can I just do more cardio?!” The freak out would be real!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
LUCKILY , for the client, we track daily weight and were able to see that the weekly average was dropping each week. So motivation stayed high, adjustments were made when they needed to.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hear it all the time.. people telling others to throw away the scale and to focus on the mirror.. 🤦🏽‍♂️lets make sure to stop telling this to the same people that would be too impatient to even be able to see that change in the mirror. Weight, when tracked and analyze properly, is an great indicator of progression.

Facebook memories showed me this Gem from 7 years ago from after a 🥊 boxing match, Then years later after a physique competition. Thought I’d post this because I’m finally going up to Seattle this weekend to visit my mom!! ✈️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love this photo because as much as I like to think I’m self made 💰 , and do things all on my own, It reminds me that I owe so much of who I am to my mother. What may look like a “transformation” is more me growing up to be the man she raised 💎.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mom, you taught me that if there’s a will there’s a way🙏🏾 Thank you for showing me so much support- no matter what the Venture. For showing me that Love is unconditional. And That no matter how hard things get, to appreciate life- because no one is promised tomorrow.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Love you mom, see you on Friday! 😘

This is One of the most frequently asked questions.🧐 HOW MANY MEALS SHOULD I EAT PER DAY?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔥TAG A FRIEND THAT NEEDS TO SEE THIS🔥
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For general weight and fat loss, the question we SHOULD BE asking is how MUCH should I eat per day. In the scenario above, whether the meals (total 1800 cals) are eaten every 3 hours, spaced out as breakfast lunch and dinner, OR during a 6 hour eating window after 17 hour fast. The fat loss will be more or less the same. 🤷🏽‍♂️ The scenario above shows that a person could consume their food at different times depending on their schedule and see the same progress.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤦🏽‍♂️NO eating more often won’t magically boost your metabolic rate, NO fasting for hours won’t help tap into 🔥fat cells quicker, and NO breakfast really aint the most 🍎important meal of the day..
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was in a consult this afternoon and a potential client said, “I’m busy at work so it’s a hard to get meals in every 2-3 hours.” 😩 their last coach made them think this was a necessity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t over complicate things! 📖First figure out how many calories you need in order to be in a caloric deficit, 📝figure out how many meals works for your schedule, and plan your food accordingly.

🙋🏽‍♀️LIKE AND COMMENT IF YOU’VE EVER FELT PERSONALLY VICTIMIZED BY THE SCALE!🙆🏽‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔥Oh MAN! I’ve NEVER been this excited to put up a post! 💯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember! ALL of the daily weight fluctuation can be accounted for, but rarely is it actual increase in body fat!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤬Don’t let the scale dictate your mood, if you do, you’ll start your day on the wrong side of the day 50% of the time. NO successful weight loss transformation was ever achieved by decreasing body weight EVERY SINGLE DAY. 🤷🏽‍♂️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😩I see it happen all the time clients lose motivation because they don’t see the scale dropping! 🤦🏽‍♂️ And they let that affect their adherence to the program, which then may actually slow or undo their progress. 📈📉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍟SODIUM, BLOOD, 💦WATER, GLYCOGEN, P*E, and S**T 💩 cause weight fluctuations. Disconnect your emotions from the scale, it’s an amazing tool to gauge progress. Weight yourself, track it, feel free to make an observation, and move on with your damn day! 💁🏽‍♀️
