Before Day 1
STEP ONE
Before we start let’s get some things off our checklist and set you up for the best possible success.
TRACKING YOUR WEIGHT AND MEASUREMENTS
A few things to keep in mind. Most consider weight loss their goal when actually it is a RESULT. It is a result of positive lifestyle changes. Your body will lose unwanted body fat, and gain muscle and strength from the food used for FUEL and your physical activity.
Favourable changes in our weight and measurements are indicators of POSITIVE CHANGES. And the opposite is true. Unfavourable changes in our weight and measurements are indicators of NEGATIVE CHANGES in our lifestyle.
Keeping track and seeing POSITIVE results with our measurements and weight is encouraging and motivating.
