How do you measure progress?
Do you measure progress from the scale? Or clothes fit? Pics?
I’m a firm believer in taking pics as 1 way to measure progress. Fitness is an every day journey for me, with struggles & bad habits to overcome like anyone else. But I treat every day like a new opportunity to prove something to myself, learn something new, feel uncomfortable or pain & try again. Never Never Give Up.
If you’re afraid of gaining too much muscle, as you can see from the right, it’s a toned look when you’re not flexing. If you’re afraid of the new number that muscle shows on the scale, ditch the scale. It’s a deceiving liar most of the time anyway.
