Non-Scale Victories Are What Matters

May 2, 2019 by Nolie

Non-Scale Victories or NSV for short are the biggest part of your weight loss. Yes, you heard me right. The scale is a lying asshole and I am here to tell you why.

March 25th I started a new 30-day program. It involved 30 days of proper nutrition and portion control. I have a big overeating problem, I love my food. Then I added in 21 days of working out every day for 30 minutes.

Proper Eating + Exercise = WEIGHTLOSS!! Well that is what one would think, but like I said above the scale in a lying asshole and this is why we have non-scale victories.

Non-Scale Victories

At the end of my program, I had only lost 1 pound. I wonโ€™t lie, I cried. All that work for what? For nothing!! I fell down the self-pity hole. Ordered poutine, had a chocolate bar and lounged in bed all day. Completely ready to throw in the towel.

But then I remembered about NSV. I got out of bed and broke out the measuring tape. Guess whatโ€ฆ I had lost 5.5 inches. My clothes were fitting betterโ€ฆ Hello size 10 jeans, goodbye size 14 jeans. Hello, new hole punched in my belt.

Not only that but I was honestly feeling better than I had in years. I was getting more accomplished around the house. I was more present with my family. Oh and those 3 flights of stairs in my house, they no longer owned me, I owned them and climbed them no problem and without being out of breath.

So yes according to the scale the month was a total flop. But those non-scale victories were singing my praises. I got off the self-pity train and started my 21-day exercise program all over again (yes, I love it that much I am doing it again).

So remember, the scale is not your friend 90% of the time. Muscle weighs more than fat and your clothes and how you feel are the true measurement of change.

Spread the love!

I remember 3 years ago how I felt working out. My mood was better. My energy was better. I felt so much better in my clothes. โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹

I let it all go and piled on the excuses. I'm tired, I'm sore, I don't have time. That last one has to be the most pathetic excuse ever as a stay-at-home mom of a 10-year-old and 14-year-old who are in school full time.โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹

So here I go. 5..4..3..2..1..GO!โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
