What is your non-scale goal?

Hi guys,
Everyone says "I want to reach X weight," but the weight is more than a number-- it represents something bigger to us. I thought it would be fun to see what everyone is working for that has nothing to do with stepping on a scale and seeing the right number.
What is one non-NUMBER goal you have? A fitness event? Looking great a reunion?
As for me, I have, no kidding, 8 to 10 really nice pairs of jeans ($90 to 100 each) in a box in the closet, and I haven't worn them since 2010 or so. I'm wearing el cheapo jeans I don't even like and dammit, I want to bust out this PILE of awesome clothes I can't wear! I'm actually thinking of digging through them, finding the cutest pair, and leaving it somewhere I can see them frequently to keep me on track.

My motivation is being able to put my helmet on when I go for a ride and not look like a have a sideways butt crack along my 4 chins. Also, so that I don't have to wear a Jacket riding when it's 95 degrees only to hide my gut. Can't wait for Spring!0

To become a triathelete and eventually an ironman. To be able to average 20mph cycling on a regular basis. To run a 25 minute 5k (think I am already there, but haven't raced it recently) and 55 min 10k. To get stronger and build more muscle...get rid of all the extra jiggle and then hopefully be able to get a mini tummy tuck instead of a full.0

To look my best for an Anime convention I'm dressing up/cosplaying for at end of January 2015. Both costumes I'm going with are pretty form-fitting, so I'm trying to slim down and look my best.
Even after January, I have quite a few clothes that I'd love to fit into again. Like my favorite pairs of jeans that are size 1s..0
