What does NSV mean in MISCELLANEOUS

A Non Scale Victory (NSV) is any kind of success or achievement related to your health and fitness journey that doesn't involve a number on the scale. They are moments that show progress towards our health goals and should be celebrated!

Everyone's NSV's will look different depending on your individual goals, but some common examples include being able to run longer distances, seeing changes in body composition, trying something new in your workout routine, fitting into an old pair of jeans, noticing improved digestion, etc.

Celebrating your non-scale victories is important for recognizing all the hard work you have done and staying motivated to keep going! You can celebrate with a favorite treat or reward yourself with something special that fits within your budget. Taking time for yourself or setting goals for the upcoming week are also great ways to celebrate non-scale victories!

Recognizing non-scale victories can help you stay motivated when immediate physical results are not seen yet. Every day offers up little opportunities to make progress and when these moments are appreciated they may even motivate you further! It's also important to remind yourself why you're on this journey and focus on smaller achievable goals - patience is key.

Scale victories measure progress by the numbers while non-scale victories recognize other successes related to our health journey such as how we feel mentally and physically, improved energy levels, our relationship with food, movement ability etc. Accomplishing either one can bring joy and motivation - celebrate both!
