Streak is over :(

I tweaked my knee the other day on ice while running with Molly. The swelling has gone down, but it's still tender. I went for a short walk today and felt ok. Planning a longer walk tomorrow. So streak is over since recovery is most important :(

I didn't hit my goal (25% completion), but I learned a few things about myself:

It's a much easier mindset for me to be active every day. There's no thought, just get up and go do... SOMETHING! It made me happier, I am sleeping better, and coping with stress. There's always something to work on whether it's strength, endurance, flexibility, speed, recovery, etc.

And instead of cramming them all in on workout days, I could spread it out and focus better. It's more manageable to walk in to a workout thinking,  "Ok, we're lifting. Or just yoga tonight."

I've learned that flexibility is key. Life throws curves and if I missed a specific workout on a certain day, I used to feel like I failed or had to start over. Some days, I didn't feel like doing what I scheduled, so I ran or did a workout video. That used to make me feel like I failed because I wasn't disciplined enough or I lacked will power to follow schedule. In reality, I still worked out, I'm not a professional athlete, so what if I changed my workout....I still worked out!

I'm learning to let go of the perfectionist. No one is 100% all the time, it's impossible and probably quite miserable. I am down 9 lbs AND enjoying life, so something is going right!
