Getting Healthy

::captions on video and below::

Slept a good 8h5m last night so I could smash a workout today and boy did I crush it!

Increased the weight on hip thrusts from 125 to 135 so I'm using the big boy plates now and I hit all 12s!🥳 Gonna do 150 lbs next time EEEP!

The scale has been up about 5 lbs from my recent lowest and it's not bothering me in the slightest and that's a huge NSV for me.

In the past, while doing all my healthy habits, if the scale went up and stayed up for a whole week I would start beating myself up, negative self talk, and end with a whole lot of self sabotaging which lead to actual weight gain rather than being patient, practicing positive self talk, focusing more on my habits and less on the scale, and waiting for my WHOOSH.

The scale will go up for so many reasons, lifting heavy, carbs, eating later in the day (food still in belly), 💩still inside you, shark week, lack of sleep, and I'm sure there are more reasons.

So why do we always chalk it up to ONE reason: I suck, I'm a failure, I should just give up. ??WHY?? STOP THE NEGATIVE SELF TALK and if positive self talk is too much then at least practice neutral self talk where you just tell yourself the straight up facts:

This week I have: 🥳hit my water goal 3× so far 🥳hit my step goal every day 🥳hit my sleep goal 3× so far 🥳been in my calorie range every day so far 🥳been in my protein range every day so far

Consistency is key so take a look at how consistent you are and make a plan to smash your goals.
