Progress...not Perfection.

This has been one of my mantra's in life..(and I have a lot of em!). I've never experienced remarkeable results from anything I said or did, that had lasting results. I'm all about the 'lasting results'. Quality over quantity... it' gotta stick.

My eating was out of control last week. ST. Regis Hotel in Monarch Beach just sucked me into the insanity. I worked out & ran almost everyday, but I had far too much rich food, H'orderves, cocktails & wine. What was I thinking???? I WASN'T thinking! Reminds you of the importance of the big picture. Little or no success with diet or exercise alone....I bet I gained 4-5 pounds. ARGGGGGG. It's soooo tough to lose. I tell myself stop whining and pay the piper! Progress, not perfection. Pick up where I left off and be a big girl about it. Maybe I should make myself watch Super Size Me....just for shock value. I get weighed in (@ WW) on Tues, and I can't workout again until Thurs. (minor medical thing) so I'll take advantage of it and get myself organized, re-group the diet and workouts. Ramp up the cardio. I need to add at least 1 spin class a week.... increase mileage on runs..stretch, stretch, stretch and core. Maybe it'll all seem new... who am I kidding??! I do love journaling that brand new page in a training log, and the first run in my new kicks....and the first day of a well thought out & comitted eating plan.

I am healthy & I am blessed. To experience progress. Those incremental increases in endurance, speed and strength. Not perfection....and that's o.k. by me. I'll keep doin what I'm doin and I'm confident it'll stick!
