Avoid the Scale!!

I’ve gained 7-10 pounds in the last 6 months from doing CrossFit. If I relied on the scale I would be pretty upset. But I also know that I’ve lost several inches which makes it ok. Muscle weighs more than fat we all know that! Bottom line you can’t go by what the scale reads. What I recommend is either get measured or measure yourself. The three areas to focus on if measuring yourself is your stomach, hips and thighs. You just need to make sure the measurement is taken in the same place each time. For your stomach use your belly button as a guide. For you hips, stand with your feet together and measure the widest circumference. Then for your thighs measure 10 inches above your knee cap (easiest way is to mark your leg). Good luck! Let’s loose inches together! Measure today and let that be your motivator. Give yourself 2-4 weeks of eating well and consistently working out before you remeasure!
