Earlier this week we launched the 14 Objectives, 28 Days program with mission #1, which is as easy as it gets.
Mission #2 - Measure
What I suggest you do is to take measurements of your self over scale weighing.
Unless you have digital scales that provide bodyfat %'s, then scale readings can cause all sorts of issues as if you gain weight you can't see what type of weight you've gained, and if you've lost weight then you can't see what type of weight you've gained.
This can cause you to either beat yourself up too much affecting your psychology or being a bit too lenient and telling yourself little porky pies to make yourself feel good.
Scale weight isn't as important as body composition, but body fat percentage is tough to test accurately and consistently.
Instead, rely on tape measurements.
For this mission, get a fabric tape measure and measure these areas:
Around
the largest part of your belly/love-handle area
Upper leg (thigh)
Chest (across nipple line)
Between belly button and nipple line (upper abs area)
Upper arm
Measure
once per week if you're on a fat loss plan and pay close attention to the belly
and love-handle area.
Stop
putting it off and take your measurements.
Be accountable.
