Hello, little beans!

I’ve maintained a 20 lb weight loss since around November of 2015 but I’ve gained so much in these past few months! This post is to show that changes can happen even when the scale stays the same.

- I’ve gone down two holes on my Fitbit band! (One more and I’ll need to move from a large to a small.

- I’ve upped my steps per day from 5k to 10k (which I regularly exceed, my highest record being 45k in one day).

- I’ve gone down a ring size.

- I have brought my resting heart rate down from 88 bpm to 72 bpm (an unhealthy range to a healthy range).

- I’ve lost fat in my arms to the point that sweaters that I wasn’t able to wear before now fit.

- My leggings are looser than they used to be in the butt and thighs.

- I used to have to use a bra extender which I’ve now ditched, and have even gone down a notch since then on the regular strap.

- I regularly win Fitbit challenges.

- I’ve worked out 5-7 days a week for 20-60 minutes EVERY single week since December 25th. Every week!

I’ve personally gotten anonymous hate for not losing “pounds” and I think that’s silly and very damaging for people to see. A fitness and health journey is NOT just about the number on the scale. I look at it once every few weeks and the number hangs between 195-197 and that’s just fine with me! Clothes and jewelry is looser, I’m crushing goals left and right, I’m making my heart healthier, and tons more.

I’m not sorry that the scale isn’t moving and you shouldn’t be either if it isn’t for you.

Keep pushing, it WILL pay off.
