Last week we looked at setting STAR goals for our weight loss. Those goals should be:
S – Specific
T – Truly doable
A – Active
R – Relevant
Your homework for the week was to set a STAR goal for yourself and share with me on social media… Let’s see how you did with your homework!
- Stacey pre-tracked her weekend camping trip and packed what she needed to “keep her guardrails up”
- Michele’s goal was to make her bed every day
- Kimberly bought an exercise bike at Aldi for $63. Her STAR is to ride at least 5 miles a day
Bravo ladies, you nailed it!
This Week’s Topic: Chat #162: Think Outside the Scale
Have you ever done everything right and still didn’t get the loss you expected at the scale? Have you ever gotten a loss you didn’t deserve? We’re here to talk about all those moments in today’s chat.
5 Ways to Judge Progress Without the Scale
- Moving a notch tighter on your belt, watch, or fitness tracker
- Breathing better and walking farther
- Needing to size down your underwear/bra
- Using a larger selection in your closet (things that you may not have worn for awhile!)
- You can comfortably bend over to tie your shoes or shave your legs
This Week’s Homework: #NSV
Remember the scale isn’t the only place you have a victory… post your NSV (Non-Scale Victories) and tag me so we can celebrate with you!

Extra Credit
Sleeveless shirt season is coming! I asked what everyone’s favorite non-gym exercise is and we are using those to make 3 “Get Fit Games”
Game 1: Get Ready Go Go (morning)
Pick 5 things you do every morning that are usually stationary and go go instead!
- While coffee is brewing, do arm exercises
- Brushing teeth? Heel raises
- Do 10 squats while you’re getting dressed
- Walk the dog an extra lap
- March in place while you wait on your kids or husband
Game 2: While at Work Workout (all day)
- Stand up when you answer the phone
- Hand deliver a message to a coworker instead of emailing it
- Find a few office chair exercises on YouTube
- Parking lot patrol: volunteer to pick up trash in the lot for 10 minutes. You get some cardio and everyone else enjoys a clean place to park!
- Office obstacle course
Game 3: After Work Wrap Up (evening)
If you watch the same shows most nights, make up a game! Actually write it down and keep it handy.
For example, when watching Big Bang Theory choose quick exercises you’ll do every time:
- There’s a scene in the lunchroom
- A character says the word “physics”
- Sheldon knocks on Penny’s door
- Someone makes fun of Howard
- Sheldon says “Bazinga!” (pick a more challenging exercise for this one!)
