Yesterday was my birthday and it was a fantastic day. Spent it fairly simply with my family and two of our closest friends. I enjoyed the moment of just being with family.
I recorded my food and activity for both days and so far I haven’t missed a day. I feel a routine starting develop. I had a good conversation with Sifu Langer today during open training. We talked about the Black Belt cycle and how things like consistent training and recording have a profound impact. I’ve been inspired by Sifu Langer for a very long time. I got to know him when he came back and before he was a black belt. I saw him kick and claw his way on his way to earning his black belt. Then the accident happened…. To see him today smiling and well on his way to recovery is nothing but awe inspiring. The advice he gave me and the feedback on my forms was pure gold.
Working with both Sifu Lindstrom and Sifu Ward was also amazing. The opportunity that open training gives is un measurable. There’s the opportunity to for some “one on one” feedback but I also value the informal time with everyone there. The casual conversation, the jokes, the laughs are all part of it.
My diet is also starting to show some results. I’m down almost six pounds in the past week. I do realize that this mostly water that I was retaining based on a poor diet high in salt and processed foods. However I’ll take it! Seeing the progress is all extremely motivating and helps me make the right choices.
