Non-scale Victory ... The numbers on the scale aren't the only truth!

Have you ever heard of an NSV? Well, in fitness lingo, an NSV is a non-scale victory.  What does that mean? A non-scale victory can be any positive change you notice about yourself after dedicating yourself to a fitness/weightloss/nutrition regimen. Sometimes, when we begin a regimen, we expect to see results immediately. Not only that, we expect the numbers on the scale to decrease quickly. Even though we may see some change in those numbers, we might get discouraged that the changes we wish to see are taking far longer than we'd hoped. DON'T get caught up in that number! Not the starting number.  Not the current number. And certainly not that final number. Just continue on your path and celebrate your big and small NSVs along the way!

Watch my video describing some personal NSVs. Feel free to share yours below, too! I'd love to hear from you! : )

When are you expecting? Be mindful.

Please be mindful when you say things to people.

I usually take to writing when I'm upset because I don't like to let people see me upset, but today I went to video. This is an unedited, first take of a real moment in my life with one of my dear friends and challengers. It's raw, real, and emotional. I almost wasn't going to post because it's so honest, but here it goes. Please watch, think, and share this message. Spread the love.

Nice to meet you!
