Making Mistakes

I'm on a roll for making mistakes. Today I overslept by 90 minutes, but I'm back on track now and won't be doing that again. Going from West Coast to East Coast is always tough on the sleep schedule though, even when you get up before 5am all weekend in LA.

Today's workout had to be shortened, and so I only did:

1A) Renegade Rows
1B) Hip Extension Hold
1C) Plank
1D) Bird Dog on Stability Ball

2) Heavy Backward Sled Drags

Bally the Dog comes home from the sitter later today, and we'll have a big dog walk tonight.

About those mistakes, I keep telling myself:

"You are going to make mistakes. It happens. Dust yourself off and start again!" - Larry Winget

Also made a few diet mistakes this weekend. Discover those here:

=> 5 foods not eat (although I ate 2 on the weekend)

And today's kickbutt mindset tip:

Be loud and proud of what you are doing. There are more folks secretly wishing someone will take charge and be a healthy role model for them. It might not happen overnight, but if you continue to lead by healthy example – without preaching or being condescending – you can build an entourage of social support and people who want to be healthy like you.

Have a great week,

PS - Found this quote the other week...

...and while it is not "motivational", it is great advice:

"Your reputation is harmed the most by what you say to defend it." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Think twice before getting into arguments...especially on the Interwebbingz.
