A little bit of this and that.

This is the first week that I've been away from the kwoon in a couple of weeks.  I wasn't "feeling" like I wanted to attend Monday's class.  My wife tried her best to convince me but it still wasn't working until she said "why don't you just log in and watch the class".  I did exactly that and eventhough I didn't participate in class I didn't break the posative momentum that I'd built over the past couple of weeks.  Tonight I logged in and participated in class from my hotel room.  It wasn't the best situation as I didn't have a lot of room and it's been tough learning the sword form in person so it was even tougher over Zoom.  However it was sooooo good to participate and getting some hand form reps in and some sword form reps.  I really liked the intensity of the warm up tonight as well.

I had my first one on one with Sifu Rybak this week and it was great just chatting.  I'm finding that I need to actively engage if I want to progress and keep moving forward.  

It's been a pretty good week so far with some ups and downs but I'm happy to keep moving forward.  I didn't have a great eating day today but it's only one day and I'm not beating myself up over it.  I recognize that there will be days like today but they won't de rail me like they did in the past.  I keep asking myself these questions, "why am I on this journey? Why have I changed my diet? Why am I a Kung Fu martial artist?".  I can finally say that the answers are more about the journey than the destination. It's never been like this for me but I've come to realize that the journey has become more important.
