One Year Difference⠀
⠀
3lbs up in average weight. Measurements up slightly.⠀
⠀
Let’s play a game: ⠀
⠀
What advice would you give me?⠀
A. Drop my calories⠀
B. Switch to a keto macro split⠀
C. Add a few long runs to my training⠀
D. Panic and bake cookies ⠀
⠀
Ok trick question because I am not doing any of that.⠀
⠀
Do you know why I am not worried?⠀
⠀
I’ll give you a list:⠀
⠀
✨Maintenance weight is a range⠀
✨My clothing fits me fine - even jeans⠀
✨My performance is good in the gym⠀
⠀
Most importantly:⠀
⠀
👉 I’ve been tracking my data and I know the trends👈⠀
⠀
Over the course of the past 365 days my average weight has lived mostly within a 3lb range. ⠀
⠀
Diving deeper into my biofeedback, in the past three months my sleep has been subpar and my stress has been high. ⠀
⠀
Could that affect weight? FOR SURE.⠀
⠀
Here’s some more truth: ⠀
⠀
I might have gained a little fat. ⠀
⠀
OR⠀
⠀
I might just be at the top of my range.⠀
⠀
But guess what focusing on THIS largely irrelevant detail is called?⠀
⠀
Self-sabotage. This is what it looks like when we actively or passively take steps to prevent ourselves from reaching our goals. Opting for A, B, C or D above would be doing just that. ⠀
⠀
You know what diffuses self sabotage? Acknowledgement of the data. Then taking action based on what that collection of information is telling you!⠀
⠀
So let me encourage you to pause next time you see a bump on the scale and gather ALL the info surrounding your intake, measurements and biofeedback before letting emotions override your next steps.⠀
⠀
There is a very good chance you are getting results you want, but simply not looking in the right places. ⠀
