Plus some awesome non-scale victories
===================================================================
Regular readers of this blog will know how important NSVs are (Non-Scale Victories).
I covered this in my last blog post here - Link -
and I discuss how Pennie, my dietitian at CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet, told me to concentrate on the non-scale victories rather than just concentrating on the numbers on the scale.
This resonated with me as I was growing frustrated as I was following the diet and exercise regime perfectly, but not seeing the reward on the scales I thought I deserved.
Well the great news is that the non-scale victories eventually lead to scale victories.
Over the last two weeks I have lost 1.9 kilos
- 200 grams two weeks ago, and 1.7 kilos this last week.
But the best part is, I have achieved two awesome milestones.
The first milestone is cracking the elusive 125 kilo mark.
It feels like forever, but I cracked the 130 kilo milestone only five weeks ago.
I know that I am losing almost exactly one kilo a week consistently, but some of my weekly losses have been small, but then followed up with a large one, which messes with my head.
I have to constantly remind myself that weight loss is not linear, and that it changes constantly.
Anyway, it was a pretty awesome day on Friday as I officially cracked under the 125 kilos.
In fact, I hit 124.6 kilos, so I am pretty proud of this achievement.
And this leads on to my next victory.
I have now lost over 60 kilos !
Just thinking of that makes me tear up a bit.
All my hard work, dedication and consistency is paying off in big dividends.
Seeing that number makes it all worth while.
But the non-scale victories are also so important.
I now record my non-scale victories as they happen, so I can review them with Pennie.
This is an important part of my dietitian sessions, and it really does help with motivation.
I strongly recommend you do the same.
- Record your non-scale victories and share them with your partner / friend.
- Share them with the official TWD facebook group.
I would love you to share them in my private Facebook Motivation and Support Group - Link
So here are my personal non-scale victories for the last two weeks.
- Avoided junk food during my son’s sleepover birthday
- Avoided chocolates at work
- Only had one quarter of a tiny quiche at work morning tea
- Had only one small piece of birthday cake
- Ate my own meals at a three day training course
- Donated a LOT of the clothes that are now too big for me
- Bought some trousers the next two sizes down - 127cm and 117cm - for the future slimmer me
- Continue with food prep
- Continue with walking
- Continue with meal plan
I can't explain how happy I was to be going to Target and Lowes, and browsing through the lower end of the Big Guy section.
The only bad part is, I only get about 5 - 8 weeks before I need to go down a size.
But what a great 'problem' to have !
Anyway, the most important part of this strategy?
- Write the successes down, and review them weekly!
I'd love to hear of your successes, so join my Facebook Support Group, and keep in touch.
It's a private Facebook group, so only other members will see what you post.
Bye for now !
