Pie? What pie? I don't remember any pie...


The first round of the holidays is behind us now.  Whatever happened happened.  Maybe we ate more than we hoped.  Maybe we forgot the way to the gym.  Maybe we didn’t.   Whether we stuck to our plan or to our plates, it’s over.  Today’s mission:  forget it all.

If we did all the right things, great.  Gold star for us.  But that doesn’t mean we don’t have to keep on doing the right things.  Sadly, fitness is a continual process.  We don’t get to reward ourselves for good behavior with bad behavior.

If we dove head first into the gravy, that is also in the past.  We do not need to spend energy on wailing and gnashing of teeth; that energy is better spent lifting weights or running around the block.  Shame and blame do not help us.  That kind of psychic weight lifting does not make us stronger.


Life happens right now.  Let’s choose good things in this moment.
