Summary

Do you ever wish you could take the thoughts in your head about losing weight and getting more physically fit and turn them into actions in a place not inside your head? Unfortunately, the time isn’t perfect, the plan isn’t perfect, the location isn’t perfect, and a million other things aren’t perfect and so you just stay where you are. We’ve all been there. This week, Catherine and Donald go through an article by Marie Forleo on getting over your perfection paralysis and actually getting started. Before you know it, those thoughts have turned into action. Plus, Catherine wants a pair of fries, Donald becomes a backup singer, and the couple sets a 4 second timer to get it done.
