a moment to refocusonlife ~ progress

Goofy. 

Last week I had one of those AH HA moments. I was down and kicking myself while I was down. I had made some mistakes in my eating. I had bounced up a pound or two on the scale. For the week, I was over by about 1500 calories. I was really hating on myself.

Weekly, I listen to Jillian Michaels podcast. On Friday I had to travel to Charlotte for a seminar. On that trip, I got to hear Jillian's latest podcast. It was truly a day I needed to hear a specific message. And, it came during the podcast. Isn't life crazy like that? You need something specific (in this case VERY specific) and karma delivers it to you.

Jillian said that people should strive for "progress not perfection". That rang true with me. That hit home. I'm not going to go into all the reasons why I was striving for perfection. I'm also not going to dissect that quote. Either it strikes you or it does not.

Just for today, focus on progress, not perfection.
