What's up, you guys? Famous Ashley Grant here.

Welcome to More Movement, Please, the podcast
00:10
where I hope to inspire you to move your body
00:12
more. Today, I want to talk about non -scale
00:14
victories. I think I've talked about these in
00:16
the past. I'm not actually sure. I've recorded
00:18
so many episodes at this point, I am starting
00:20
to lose track of what things I've talked about
00:23
and what I haven't. But I'm excited today wanting
00:27
to share this non -scale victory because I am
00:29
down another pant size. Yesterday, I knew I needed
00:33
to go get some more pants because the ones I
00:35
was originally wearing whenever I started this
00:37
insane getting serious journey back in July,
00:42
they were just so big that I was literally having
00:44
to use almost like a rope belt to keep them up.
00:48
And so I was like, all right, that's it. That's
00:49
enough. It's time. I need to go get a new pair.
00:52
And I grabbed a pair that I thought was going
00:55
to be too small because. I don't know, just something
00:58
told me, just give it a try, see how tight they
01:00
are. And y 'all, when I tell you that they slid
01:04
on so easily that I looked in the mirror and
01:08
I just started crying tears of joy. Holy cow,
01:11
like it just, I jumped up and down and I just
01:14
was so excited that I had dropped another pant
01:17
size. So since July 14th, 2025, I have dropped
01:22
four pant sizes. That is nuts to me. My goal
01:28
was to get into the pant size that I'm in now,
01:31
and I'm shocked as hell that I did it this quickly,
01:35
like truly. I didn't expect to to get down to
01:40
the size that I am now as quick as I did. I know
01:44
I've been working really hard and and all that
01:46
jazz, but I literally just I was in awe and I'm
01:50
still in awe. And I I've looked at my. I looked
01:54
at my pants a few times today, like making sure
01:56
like, oh, do they actually fit? Am I OK? Am I
01:59
going to rip my pants? Am I good? But no, they
02:02
actually fit. And y 'all, it is the best feeling
02:05
like. The scale hasn't changed quite to the degree
02:08
that I was hoping it would, but I'm told that
02:10
it's because muscles weigh more than fat. And
02:12
so that's probably one of the big factors that's
02:15
contributing to the fact that I'm nowhere near
02:17
the weight that I wanted to be. But I guess it's
02:21
true that, you know, as long as your pants fit
02:24
better and you're getting into the size that
02:26
you wanted, gains are happening. Good things
02:29
are happening. So I'm just I'm tickled pink.
02:31
And I wanted to share this milestone because.
02:34
It just, it feels so good. And I just want to
02:36
share it because I want to inspire people to
02:39
achieve their own goals, their own fitness goals.
02:42
And I'm not going to call them weight loss goals
02:44
anymore. I'm going to call them fitness goals
02:45
because that's what they really are. Because
02:47
even though I'm not dropping weight, I am gaining
02:52
muscle and I am losing inches. And oh God, it
02:56
just feels so good. And I want more of this.
02:58
I'm going to keep going. Like I said in a previous
03:01
episode, I am going to just ride this wave as
03:04
long as I possibly can. I'm going to enjoy the
03:06
hell out of this movement as much as I can, because
03:08
after as many years as I had of a sedentary lifestyle,
03:13
to be moving as much as I am just feels so good.
03:16
And yes, I'm in pain today. I actually hurt my
03:18
shoulder, but the pain I'm feeling is absolutely
03:22
worth it. And it's so much better than the pain
03:25
I was feeling before of just existing. I just
03:29
wanted to share this because I said I was going
03:31
to be raw and real and transparent. And so this
03:33
is my my victory lap of holy crap. I'm down four
03:37
sizes and I do kind of want to get down one more
03:40
size. This was my goal size. But you know what?
03:43
Let's keep going. Right. Let's let's have some
03:46
fun. If I can get down one more size, that would
03:49
be. phenomenal. I would just be absolutely blown
03:52
away. And for the first time in my life, that
03:55
actually feels possible. I did not ever think
03:57
that I would say that. But if I keep going at
04:00
the rate that I'm going and I keep working the
04:02
way that I'm working, I think it's actually possible.
04:05
And and again, I've said this before and I'll
04:08
say it again. I'm not really changing my diet
04:10
very much. I'm still eating pretty much everything
04:12
that I was always eating. I will admit. Still,
04:15
it's smaller portions than it was because I literally
04:18
cannot eat more than I than I am. And I think
04:23
that's just because I'm really listening to my
04:24
body now. I'm not just stuffing myself the way
04:27
that I used to. I'm paying attention as I'm eating
04:30
and mindfully eating, but I'm not changing what
04:33
I'm eating. And yes, I have changed my my. my
04:37
beverages just a little bit. I told you guys
04:40
that I am reaching for water more than I ever
04:42
have in my whole life. So I am cutting way back
04:45
on soda, way back on juices and other beverages.
04:49
So water is like the main thing I reach for.
04:52
But other than that, the only thing that is really
04:55
a dramatic change in my life is how much I'm
04:58
moving my body. I love how much I'm moving my
05:02
body. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow
05:04
at Zumba. I'm hoping my shoulder will feel better
05:06
by then. But even if it's not, I'm going to show
05:08
up. I'm going to keep going. And onwards and
05:11
upwards, my friends. Have you worked out today?
