My NSV (?) with pics
Not sure if this counts as a Non Scale Victory since its only due to the weight loss that it happened, BUT...last weekend I was able to fit into (and be ok with wearing in public) an authentic Irish national rugby jersey that a friend brought me when he came to visit from London a few years ago...it sat in my closet ever…

First workout above 1000 calories
According to my HRM today's burn was 1,117 calories. First time over 1,000 and I'm exhausted!

My motivation
One of my biggest motivators for getting in shape is my dog, who loves me no matter what, but sure likes it when I'm fit enough to keep up with him. (also pictured his buddy Willie or as I liked to refer to him...mini me)
