In the end, you don\u2019t want to focus on weight goals. Weight, for the most part, actually works against your main goal. Weight can be distributed in many ways. It can be shown as inflammation. It can also vary by hormones or water weight. There are various causes to why your weight may show more than it really is. Your weight is typically higher the day after weight training. You\u2019re not fatter; your body is just in the process of recovering from your workout. That\u2019s why you never want to focus on weight, instead, rely on fat percentage or physical measurements. Don\u2019t ever be disappointed by the weight on the scale because even a good strength training regimen can alter the value you see even several days after it is completed. I\u2019m currently at a point where I\u2019m not seeing dramatic weight loss. My trainer has been measuring me and we\u2019ve seen the measurements decreasing in all the right areas. What does this tell me? It tells me that I\u2019m increasing my muscle. That\u2019s a good sign.<\/p>\n

If there is one last piece of advice that I had for anyone trying to improve their health, it is to make sure that if you are weighing yourself, don\u2019t weigh yourself everyday and definitely don\u2019t do it multiple times per day. Set a specific time to weigh yourself. Pick a particular day and do it only on this day. The best time of the day to weigh in is right after waking up. You have the least amount of water weight on you because most people don\u2019t drink anything while sleeping.<\/p>\n

As long as you are maintaining a good diet and complete a sufficient amount of exercise per week, you should be able to keep up with your ultimate goal. When starting a new diet regimen you may also need to do a little experimenting to find out which combination of foods or exercises\u00a0work for you and which don\u2019t. Not everyone progresses at the same pace but doing something is always better than doing nothing. Sometimes you may just have to force yourself to workout. I\u2019ve had these days but once I finally start doing it, I find that I\u2019m pushing myself and realising that it\u2019s not as bad as I was making it out to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Most people choose to make a new resolution on New Years. For me, I forgo something like this. I don\u2019t want to start out the New Year by stressing over what I plan to accomplish in the year. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I do plan goals for the New Year, however, I don\u2019t make it […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"url":"","client":"","location":"","start_date":"","end_date":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[105],"tags":[116,113,112,115,108,107,106,111,114],"class_list":{"0":"post-613","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-health-and-fitness","7":"tag-10000-steps","8":"tag-change-it-up","9":"tag-detox","10":"tag-ditch-weight-goals","11":"tag-get-motivated","12":"tag-new-years-resolution","13":"tag-spring-clean","14":"tag-vivo-fit","15":"tag-workout-goals","16":"entry","17":"has-post-thumbnail"},"yoast_head":"\n
