A Stumble is Not a Fall

This is...
Day 51!!!
And I had not even noticed passing day 50. =/

The last 5 days have been a non-CrossFit blur. I'm feeling inclined to skip the workout. Also I am staying very busy with other things so it is easy to forget or not get around to it. I'm wondering if I might be doing just a little too much, too soon.

I'm prone to that.

I missed Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and now today is another rest day. My plan is to start back tomorrow. So. The key to this plan is starting back tomorrow. =)

There is an old saying that "a miss is as good as a mile" and I am so glad that is not true in fitness.

For us, anything is better than nothing. Even if we choose a piece of fruit over empty calories and study the website videos, it helps us. That's progress!

Here is what my new *virtual* friend Lenora posted on my CF Log (thanks, Lenora!):
Delita, you are consistent in your commitment. Some days are going to be better than others. You are always moving forward, and progress is not only the number of reps, or weights. You are keeping your commitment to yourself by doing whatever you can on a given day.
And fellow CF Gramma (see link on left) Sarena left me this advice (thanks, Sarena!):
Some days that may only be, "I drank 6 glasses of water" or I ate nourishing foods today or I slept 8-9 hours. Whatever it is accept it, be thankful and move on!
I'm thankful.

I'm moving on.

Who's with me?

I'm with you...! One of the things I have struggled with in the past is not letting myself off the hook about skipping a workout. It let to burnout almost every time. This time I'm all about one day at a time, one choice at a time...keep up the great work!
