At the beginning of the No Excuses Project I took some time to set goals and did my usual beginning routine -- you know -- you take the before pic and jot down your weight and measurements at different points on your body -- those places where you either want to gain or lose and get psyched up.
Now at the end of week three, I have lost four pounds which leaves me with nine more to go. My weight loss really wasn't my top priority -- it was more about making healthy choices and getting in shape.
But this morning I took my measurements and split them into two categories. Cat. One for places where I want to lose inches and Cat. Two for places where I want gain inches. Then I compared my beginning inches to my inches from today and I have seen more improvement here than in my overall weight loss. YAY!!!
The best part of my Benchmarking by Inches strategy is that I plan to reward myself by buying some new clothes for the spring. I'm thinking short sexy dresses and some sleek new golf wear.
What is your benchmarking strategy and is it working?
