Thanks guys

Thanks for the comments guys!
Ya, it's been hard getting used to everything. I'll get into the groove.

Basic numbers: 153 pushups, 26 kicks, 3 reps tai chi part 3

Acts of kindness: gave the cat treats, brought Romeo to Kung-Fu, gave Julia a hug

Today I consumed: a granola bar, 2 hard boiled eggs, a banana, 2 chicken burgers and some ice-cream. I drank 2 cups of coffee, a cup of tea and 8 glasses of water.

Slumping

Haven't blogged very regularly lately. It's funny because last year I blogged every day without missing a beat...now that I don't have to it's hard to keep it up. My training has been reflecting my blogging. Now that I don't have to do all the practicing, it's hard to stay on top of things. It's funny because I didn't think I would have much of a problem keeping things up, but as I shift my focus to other things in my life (like my job), it's easy to be lazy. I guess that's what it comes down to really. A constant battle against normality.....ahhhh Stuart Embery...you were so right. Mastery, as he says, is a constant struggle to produce results beyond the ordinary. The problem is that ordinariness is easy...extraordinariness is hard. Case and point...my coffee struggle. I've pretty much given it up...but that's because it's hard. It's so easy to fall back into old habits and established crutches. Am I really serving myself by just giving up...obviously not and I know that. But it takes effort.
I just need to find some good old self-motivation.

Got to buckle down. Let's see if I can go a week no coffee. Starting tomorrow, the saga continues.

Basic numbers: 51 pushups, 51 situps, 52 kicks, 3 reps tai chi part 2, 3 miles

Acts of kindness: gave the cat and dog treats, took Julia and the dog for a walk, complimented someone.

Today I consumed: a bowl of cheerios, 2 bananas, half an apple, a boiled egg, a cucumber and cheese sandwich, a cookie, a granola bar, 2 hotdogs, 4 cups of coffee (stupid daylight savings time!) and 8 glasses of water.

first day down!

Survived my first day at work. Everyone was really nice and I think it will be a great gig once I get settled.
Training took a back seat today though, got some pushups and situps in, but no form reps or kicks. Gotta get back in the game.

Acts of kindness: gave the cat pets, played with Julia, complimented someone

Today I consumed: a bowl of oatmeal, a banana, an apple, a sandwich, a piece of pizza, half a hotdog, a cup of coffee, 2 cups of tea and 7 glasses of water.
