I'm watching this weeks Biggest Loser while I FINALLY unpack from my trip home. As I'm watching it, Bob is excited for one of the contestants going 3.0 on the treadmill. Really? Three miles an hour? That is why I love Bob and Jillian. They know it is a growth process, and don't expect more than what the contestants are able to do. Of course, they push them to do more than what they *think* they can do, but that is another story.
I love it because it gives me permission to be excited about my little achievements, even though there are women at the gym running the entire time and I have to take breaks and walk occasionally. But lets face it, since Nnel died, I haven't done much, so even being on the treadmill at all for a full hour is an accomplishment!
Never discourage progress, no matter how small.
