]]>Look at Your Diet
When you start your health and fitness journey, you’re usually stricter with your diet and what you can and can’t eat. As time goes on, it’s natural to become more lenient. Start paying more attention to what you’re consuming and switch up your diet. Play around with the carbs, fats, and protein you’re taking in. Make sure you’re also drinking enough water.
Switch Up Your Exercise Routine
Now that you’ve been working out for a while, it’s time to amp things up. Your muscles have become familiar with your routine, so try new exercises or increase the intensity and time of your exercises.
Prioritize Sleep
Sleep is one of the most important things and if you don’t get enough of it, your body is in a constant state of stress. Sleep deprivation is linked to increased cortisol, a stress hormone that leads to body fat accumulation.
Stop Weighing Yourself
It’s time to stop looking at the scale. It’s not an accurate measure of your self-worth or how much weight you need to lose or gain. Remember, muscle ways more than fat. A better way to measure your progress is to see how your clothes feel and before and after photos.

The number you see on the scale is not the only relevant thing when it comes to weight loss. For example, if you’ve been exercising and building muscles a lot lately, the scale may actually go up a few pounds, but you still might be losing fat and inches.
So when I see a little sunshine I’m definitely going to take this moment to SOAK it up! 
..And absorb some much needed Vitamin D 
Avoid Stress
If work and life have you stressed, your body will produce more stress hormones and this can mess up your weight loss. Stress hormones basically make your body preserve itself and don’t let it lose any of the backup body fat.

If you’ve been honest with yourself, i.e. you’re eating healthy and exercising, there’s no reason to worry about weight loss. Not every week will be the same. Sometimes you’ll lose a lot and sometimes you’ll stay at the same number for a few weeks and that’s okay. Just give yourself time and trust the process!
