Mixed Bag

Well, thanks to the Weekly Progress Report surveys I know how several of you did this week. And, as I expected, it was quite a mixed bag of results! I'm glad to hear of the good stuff going on out there and I appreciate those with a less-than-stellar week still letting me know what's going on.

Remember, it's about progress, not perfection. So don't let the poopy-licious days/weeks/months get ya down. If you can bounce back... or even just slowly ease yourself back... from some rough days/weeks and make the next week even a little healthier, then you're making progress!

Just a bit of advice based on some of the comments I received: When your time/energy/mood is not conducive to exercise or working on your fitness goals, try to at least spend a few minutes breathing deep, thinking calm thoughts and stretching a bit. It doesn't take much time or energy and, holy cow, does it make you feel a ton better! Try it next time you haven't been able to do anything else "healthy-ish" and hopefully it will help get you back on track when you're willing and able.

And don't give up those great family traditions that might include some not-so-healthy elements. Those are important family feel-good times. They usually only happen every once in a while and we just need to enjoy them and get back to our normal, healthier lifestyles ASAP!

Let's make it a good week!
