For those of you who are facing similarly stressful
times, keep this in mind. Yes, stress makes it easy to
come up with convincing excuses. But it also makes
perseverance that much more rewarding and important.
Stress makes the prize richer. Recognize this and hold
out. Thank you Jean for your inspiring and hopefully
imitable example.

The worse your existing habits, the more good habits
will do for you. Again, it may be harder, but it's
more rewarding.

Best of luck for week 2,
