We discuss how each of us handles a setback and then we both are diggin’ a TV show this week. Jenny has a meditation related win and my learn is related to this month’s exercise challenge.

1:19: We review over all how the daily exercise challenge went in September
4:09: We introduce what we will be challenging ourselves to do in October as it relates to food and drink.
5:54: Who Are You Anyway? Today’s question is: If you’ve committed to something and then find you were unsuccessful after a few days or weeks, will you re-assess and then double down or are you more likely to give up and assume that it’s not for you? or more simply….How do you handle a setback?

17:32: We wrap it up for this week and encourage you to keep moving and finish up the month with the daily exercise challenge. It’s not too late to join us in the Facebook group for some accountability for your workouts through the month of September and into October as well.

Key Quotes:
“I’m really glad that we had this challenge, and I’m equally glad that we are finished. I am definitely going to keep up the habit of building in physical exercise into my daily life, but I definitely won’t be super rigid about what that looks like.”– Jenny talking about wrapping up this challenge
“I really need to employ a bunch of different strategies to make it more likely that I’ll follow through on this important habit. So as we head into the next month, I’ll continue to schedule my exercise but I’ve also started a weekly accountability call with a friend where we can check in with each other and help to keep each other on track.” -Peggy discussing her learn for this week
