No, that's not good. That's fantastic!
Look, I read the whole post so I know that you cut after this but that isn't the point. While significant, that is an entirely different point. What is the point is that you wanted to cut and did not. Each time you don't cut when you want to is significant and each time you gain more strength to say no to cutting and more confidence that you CAN say no.
Too, you worked together. Okay, maybe the next day you weren't working together so well but it's like lifting weights or exercising. When you successfully lift more than you've ever lifted before - or run further or faster than you've ever run before, you're liable to be a little tired, worn out and not at your best the next day. It doesn't void the improvement or mean you're not getting stronger or faster or in this case, better able to work together. It means you're pooped.
