It’s late Sunday and I’m taking a minute to reflect on the week past, as well as what awaits for the week ahead. This time of year (December) is always crazy, and it’s getting more crazy by the hour. 

On Wed, we had a very blah chest workout, followed by a much better back workout on Thursday. Earlier today (Sunday) we had a really good leg workout. I still have a nagging shoulder injury that I can’t shake that is affecting some upper body movements as well as how I sleep, and yesterday I smashed my knee in the door and then twisted it hunting down the Fountain family christmas tree. 

I worked a lot this week. On several occasions I left the house in the morning and didn’t return until 11 or 12. I haven’t slept much thanks to whatever it is that keeps from entering deep sleep. 

But I overcame all of it. Despite the injuries, I jumped in the leg press and pounded out a couple good sets. I’ve continued to make progress working on our website (naturalprofitnesscoaching.com), and despite falling asleep a few times at work, I’ve maintained a pretty even keel emotionally. 

Like Arnold’s quote says, I haven’t been living with my hands in my pockets. Unfortunately weeks like this happen, things slow to a crawl, and some mornings it takes most of my energy to get out of bed and start my day. 

But time passes, things get better, and I’m learning to focus every day on little victories as they happen. And it works. One minute at a time, one step at time, one little victory at a time. 

Consistent effort = results, even if they are slow!
