After my free day yesterday, I'm back on track and feeling great!

Am considering last week a success. I missed one weights workout and one cardio workout, for a total of four days. I am trying to move away from the idea that perfection is necesary and focus instead on progress and on doing my best. I'm a teacher, and that's what I expect out of my students. That they try their best. I haven't been doing the same thing for myself. I've been either moving around haphazardly not giving it much effort at all or striving for complete perfection. By first week on BFL I'd say my effort was, on a scale of 1 to 10 a 7 or 8 or 9 every day. For the first time in a long time, I am feeling proud.
