Putting the best foot forward

It could mean two things:

  1. Given the situation (your health, your mood, weather, environment,
    etc. at that moment) you'll give your best. It means, for example,
    that rains dampen your spirit and it is raining now and it is dampening
    your spirit but you'll try your best.
  2. You'll give your best when you know that the weather's perfect for you, your mood's upbeat, your health's in prime, etc.

Let's say you are going for an important meeting – a meeting where you are making a presentation and pitching for business – and you say that you'll put your best foot forward… Most often you convey what's explained in the first point.

The first situation is frequent. The second one is rare. Intuitively you know the second one could be more rewarding. The thing is, adapt well to the first kind and you automatically turn it into a second kind of situation.
