41.20 Different Ways to Measure Progress in Health & Fitness Postpartum (or Anytime) BEYOND Losing Weight and the Numbers on the Scale

Hey beautiful friend! If you're setting your sights on improving your health & fitness in this New Year, I want to give you some different ideas for how you can measure & track progress, other than those numbers on the scale.

Especially postpartum, we usually end up focusing on losing weight, and often turn to the scale as a main metric of our progress, and a measure of our worth.

It can be helpful data for some, but it is SO far from the full picture, and is often not actually an accurate representation of our health & fitness. And it is FAR from a measure of our worth. Yet we often allow it to define us & how we feel about ourselves & our bodies.

In this episode we'll dive deep into:

• Body image & healing our relationship with exercise & food as we set new goals, resolutions, & intentions.
• Why it may be detrimental to focus on weight loss
• Why those #s on the scale are inadequate in painting a picture of progress
• 20 ideas of what to pay attention to instead

You can improve your health & fitness, and grow in confidence, strength, & performance, WITHOUT losing sight of what matters most along the way, and with God at the center. Optimizing our holistic health enables us to pour into all we're called to, to serve our family & beyond, even more fully & faithfully, and lead by example.

Let's do this together!
