It may seem like a simple mistake, but it can snowball if you don’t stop it in its tracks. Today, we look at knowing and accepting our tendencies. We also talk about routines, mindsets, and chronic states of living. We look at the self love/punishment fence of triathletes. We talk about our “why” and what real, attainable, and lasting goals look like. We get into taking care of the body and ridiculous goals. Topics: Crazy NFL Recap Training mistakes that cost you Off Balance Diets Knowing who you are and current fitness What are your tendencies when things go wrong? One mistake connected to the next It’s not about being perfect Intent  Routines and mindsets Accepting the outcome Mindfulness The Self Love/Punishment Fence Better to be undertrained Maximizing your ability to feel better  Should you take today off? Chronic Living Maintaining Health Taking care of your body The goal is to be your healthiest A “stay hard” mistake Attainable and in the ballpark Ridiculous Goals Minimal Effective Does vs. Too Much Play with the cards you’re dealt  Making up for Mistakes Take time to right the ship Don’t let one bad decision ruin your week Work hard/Play Hard?
