Three weeks ago I stepped on the Hume scale and got a reality check.
Not because the number on the scale shocked me.
I’ve always known my body tends to store weight in my trunk and upper body. Seeing the percentages broken down by body part hit differently than looking in a mirror.
It wasn’t discouraging.
It was clarifying.
Instead of thinking, “I should probably get healthier someday,” I thought:
“Okay. Here’s where I am. Now let’s see what happens if I become intentional.”
So for the last three weeks I’ve focused on:
✔️ More protein
✔️ More fiber
✔️ Less alcohol
✔️ Consistent movement
✔️ Better daily choices (not perfect ones)
And today I stepped back on the scale.
Body fat percentage dropped significantly across my trunk, arms, and legs.
Muscle mass? Essentially unchanged.
That matters to me because the goal was never to lose weight at all costs.
The goal was to lose fat while keeping the muscle I’ve worked hard to build.
And here’s the part I find most interesting:
My workouts are what we do every day at The Movement House:
• Mobility work
• Stability training
• Light to moderate weights
• Time under tension
• Balance work
• Functional strength
The things people often dismiss as “not enough.”
Yet here we are.
The scans reminded me that awareness creates change.
Sometimes seeing the truth on paper is exactly the wake-up call we need—not to shame ourselves, but to start paying attention.
Three weeks isn’t a transformation story.
It’s a consistency story.
And honestly, those are the stories that change lives.
💚
Move Well. Stay Strong.
