😈 Protein vs The Scale Demon (Week 3 Challenge Reflection)
Week 3 F45 Studio of our Protein Challenge is officially done!
Final score:
🔴 Team Red – 192
🔵 Team Blue – 148 (Me)
Team Blue was not far behind though. Honestly the real win was seeing everyone push themselves to add more protein into their day.
This challenge actually made me reflect back to when I first started trying to hit my protein goal.
Let me be real… it was NOT easy.
During the challenge conversations, I noticed something interesting. A lot of the ladies shared they were afraid to eat more protein because they thought it would make them gain weight.
Some even fasted or skipped meals because the scale number was stressing them out.
And that’s when I realized…
👉 The scale can become a little demon in our head.
It makes us believe:
• Eating more = gaining fat
• Protein = weight gain
• Scale up = failure
But what many people don’t realize is:
💡 Protein helps preserve muscle while losing fat.
💡 Muscle supports your metabolism and strength.
💡 Body recomposition doesn’t always show up immediately on the scale.
And yes… muscle is denser than fat, which can make the scale confusing sometimes.
That’s why I’ve learned to look at progress in other ways too:
• Strength gains in the gym
• Inches lost
• Clothes fitting better
• Energy and recovery
• Confidence
Protein used to be hard for me to hit too. But like anything, it became easier with time and practice.
So if you’re still struggling to reach your protein goal…
Give yourself grace. You’re learning a new skill.
And that alone is a BIG win.
Be honest… did the Scale Demon 😈 mess with your head this week?
Or did you defeat it and focus on strength and protein instead? 💪
