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.

Basic numbers: 102 sit-ups/crunches, 102 pushups, 3 miles

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.

Last day:(

Today was my last day at the university. Monday I start my new job. I'm still doing my PhD, but now I'll be doing it through work at the geological survey. The lab group I work with threw a little pizza party for me which was really nice. It's nice to know I'll be missed.
I'm looking forward to next week, but I'm nervous too. I wonder how the schedule will be for my training.
No longer just a grad student....now I've got a big person job:)

Basic numbers: 51 pushups (yesterday), 102 pushups today, 102 crunches, 3 reps tai chi part 2 1 rep broadsword right, 3 miles

Acts of kindness: complimented someone, held the door for someone, played with Julia

Today I consumed: 3 pieces of buttered toast, a cucumber and ham sandwich, 2 pieces of pizza, 3 cupcakes, some leftover casserole with broccoli and some blueberries. I drank 3 coffees and 8 glasses of water.

Fiddle time!

Got some practicing in today which was good. I didn't get any practice in yesterday and ended up not blogging too. I find that now, since I'm not in the I Ho Chuan, if I don't get any practicing in then I don't blog bad habit.
On a plus side though, tonight I made a breakthrough with my fiddle playing. I was able to play the whole song and it sounded like a song! Making some progress.

Basic numbers: 51 sit-ups, 102 pushups, 52 kicks, 3 reps tai chi part 2, 1 rep broadsword right, 2 left, 1 dog walk, 5 miles

Acts of kindness: gave the dog treats, gave the cat a treat, gave the dog a new toy, made MIke lunch and coffee

Today I consumed: 3 coffees, 8 glasses of water, a piece of peanut butter and jam toast with fruit, a ham and cheese sandwich, a banana, 2 peanut butter cookies, some pasta with chicken and 2 pieces of toast.

Progress

Long day. Got some practicing in though so that was good. Haven't had time to get some tea, but today I had tea at work instead of coffee which was good. Making progress slowly I guess.

Basic numbers: 102 pushups, 153 sit-ups, 3 reps tai chi part 1, 1 rep broadsword right, 2 left, 3 miles, 1 dog walk

Thanks Miss Gibbons!

Thanks for the heads up Miss Gibbons! I will check that out. I think your right that I just need to find a replacement for coffee.
I got back from out of town and had a nice weekend with the family. Time to get back into the swing of things practice wise tomorrow though. It's crazy, but I start my new job a week from now. I'm pretty nervous. I even had to go buy some new clothes....
That will certainly throw a wrench in my routine, but in the long run I think it will be better because I will have a consistent schedule. It is sure going to be a big change though.

Basic numbers: rest day

Acts of kindness: gave the dog and cat treats, took the dog for a car ride, made pancakes

Today I consumed: 2 pieces of toast and and egg with a banana, some popcorn, some sausages with perogies and veggies, 2 cups of coffee, 9 glasses of water
