SO – Do Numbers Matter Or Not?
So I was just finishing up a wolf pack session last night
Every now and then
As well as taking measurements around the belly, love handles, guns, chesticles etc
I’ll weigh my men as well… you know… the scales, the naughty step, the scales of justice… they’ve had a few names down the years
All these things help us measure progress
Now – a couple of the guys jump on, they’ve been dropping fat and body weight for fun over the last 4-6 weeks
But they weren’t any lighter tonight, no big deal, just keep doing what your doing – key lesson there man.
My last amigo gets on, he hasn’t lost a gram and he’s fuming
‘I don’t get it he said, I feel better, stronger and my clothes fit better but I just can’t lose weight’
‘Stop right there mate’ I said
Because you see
What the f*** is more important than the way you feel ?
If you feel better, and you know your stronger – and the old work trousers are looser round the middle then your IN the right direction
So what I’m getting at here is
We all put a lot of power into the scales
I know you’d love to drop a few pounds
And don’t get me wrong
I won’t bs you like some of the idiots I see on social media
Saying that how much you weigh is just plain irrelevant
It’s just a tool to measure progress
But just remember – you only want to lose weight and tone up so you can FEEL a certain way
– more confident
– proud of your achievement
– like your stomach is noticeably flatter in this shirt
– optimistic about your future body
– energetic
– Alive
Have a great evening, don’t forget the numbers but don’t lose your sh** over them either
