Day two - updates

 Well it’s been two days and these are some things I’ve added to my plan and some general observations.

    Made and executed two days of meal planning.  We’ve made a conscience effort to reduce the sugar in our diets.  We don’t drink soda or eat a lot of sugar heavy desserts.  However there is a TON of added sugar that we don’t realize we’re eating if were not mindful.  Our current diet is a throw back to what worked for us a year ago.  A balanced diet of lean protein and high fibre foods such as fruit and veggies and whole grains and lots of eggs.  Increased our water intake to around two litres per day from about one.  Feeling full for longer periods is the goal and what we are eating is getting us there.

    Diet tracking has been a big thing.  It’s as important as recorded my push ups and sit-ups.  It helps me understand what I’m putting in my body.  Also by recording what I’m eating it helping me resist those late evening snacks.

    I’ve found that I enjoy training in the evenings at the same time that my class starts at.  I’ve tried mornings but I prefer to enjoy the quiet time with my espresso and breakfast. 

    The push up challenge is fun and I’m enjoying participating.  It’s also something that gives me a target and or a purpose for training.  I start my evening training by warming up with the goal of completing the days challenge.  I’ve found that with this goal in mind I’m accomplishing way more that initially set out to do.

    I Ho Chuan recording.  It’s only been two days but I’ve recorded and totalled them up.  

    Spinning back kicks have been one kick that I’ve chosen to spend a little extra time on.  This evening I’ve noticed that if I move my lead leg across the centre line (slightly) it's helping with my rotation.

    Hand combinations have been a favourite and I’ve been playing with my jab and fade.  I’ve really enjoyed using the jab not to make heavy contact but to feel out my distance and to set up my reverse hand.  I’ve been playing with my fade as well.  Keeping my chin tucked in and rotating the lead shoulder over to allow the jab to glance off and create some distance without moving my feet.  This allows me to quickly counter.

We’ll that’s it for now.
