need to think about it
Had a good meeting today.
Sifu Brinker suggested we write about what we've learned this year...what worked and what didn't. I think I'm going to have to think about it. This year has been amazing even though I haven't fulfilled all of my goals. But I don't know if I have any real advice for the next team because I feel like I haven't figured it out yet. I feel like I'm just starting to get a handle on things, but there's always the worry that a week from now I'll be in a slump and things will get hard. I have a routine but truth be told everyday I have to make myself do stuff. It doesn't get easy. I see the benefits everyday from my training...my health, my strength, my flow,etc...but when it comes to doing my form reps, my pushups, etc., it can be so easy to put it off and hard to do. Sometimes doing my forms is really fun and I feel like I've come so far....but then the next day my forms seem to take forever and I feel like a scarecrow trying to do Kung-Fu.
The one thing I've been able to do consistently every day is blog. They aren't always the best blogs...I don't always put in a good effort or have something meaningful to say....but it is something easy to do so at least every day I'm doing something. Blogging is the thread that's kept me going.
I don't know.....everyone's journey is different.
I'll have to think about it more.
Basic numbers: 5 reps tai chi, 5 reps broadsword, 202 crunches, 208 kicks, 204 pushups, 3 miles
Acts of kindness: gave the cat and dog treats, made a nice dinner, helped someone
Today I consumed: a danish, half a banana, some fries, some tortilla chips, fish with potatoes and beats and a peice of chocolate cake. I drank a cup of coffee, a cup of tea and 8 glasses of water.
