"Progress, not perfection."
I am making progress. I'm in week four of my training program. The fact that I've made it well into week four is exciting in itself...sticking with anything over time has been, uuuumm, challenging for me.
I have not done this perfectly...missed a day here or there because of travel, or unexpected downpours...but I didn't stress out. Gave myself a break. I just determined to get it done the very next day. I've been struggling to figure out the smartest timing on my local road to not cause shin splints. I almost fainted after a workout in week two. I have not seen any weight loss. So, I could get discouraged or say it's not worth it, or quit cause it's hard or because I'm not doing it "right". But look here...
Week 2 Week 4
It's not perfection...but it is progress. And that's good enough for me.

Yay you! For me progress comes in the form 2 steps forward and 1 step backward. It makes me not be so hard on myself when I fail . I just remind myself I'm in a one step backward moment and that usually precludes 2 steps forward! Congratulations and keep up the good work!
Love it. Progress, not perfection? I need to remember that.
Woo hoo!! What an inspiration.
I have been quoting "Progress, not perfection" to myself lately and was trying to remember where I had read it, then I remembered...it was on your blog! Thank you! :)
