NPs log....

So, it's been a while.

I let my body heel on Monday, V-day..
Tuesday I went light with a bwe day
pushup, lunges, squats, crunches, and good ol' jumping jacks to get the heart going.

Wednesday, went to class, worked forms and some push hands apps for about 2 hours.

Thursday, did forms walkthroughs and some bwe

Friday I rested

Sat. went skiing, hiked 1 run, took a few more runs around the mountain. Hit a kicker (a type of jump) that launches you over the cornice (a snow cliff of sorts). Worked on landing 180s on my skis.

Sunday I went back up skiing, hiked 4 runs, only pushed the pace on the first hike, up to the kicker from the day before. Skiing was good, so we stayed around until 4, making for over a 7 hour day skiing.

Rested Monday, as it was a holiday and I was sore and I strained a muscle in my leg.. somewhere on the back inside of the left leg.

Tuesday bwe same as before

Wednesday, worked kf and taiji forms in class, did more push hands stuff....

Today:
I'm going to try to get on the bike for 30 minutes, and do some lifting in the condo complex gym...

Also, I think today is going to be my last day drinking soda for the next month.

I've plunged back into the pepsi thing again, but not as bad as before.
I pretty much don't care about it anymore, I'm still trying to be more healthy with my food choices. Suppliment Shakes, Fruit Juices and Water more often than the occasional pepsi (the only soda i drink)
I think what set that off was one day when I went to my accountant and she offered me a cup of coffee, my body was just soaking up the caffeine like a plant absorbing water but..
anyway it's not my blog
train hard.
peace.

I've cheated on the soda thing, well, mostly 'cause I don't drink coffee, and it's hard to remember tea when I have a class for work.

Sunday:

bwe:
crunch x 80 (fourty slow, fourty fast)
pushups (no idea how many, but not enough that I should have lost count)
squats x 50
calf raises x 35

Oh, and about the soda.. I'm down to like a can a day, from like a liter or 20 ozer.

Well done on kicking the soda, the stuffs like paint stripper.

Over here in the UK you can use it to make an old penny turn nice and shiny so whats it doing to your insides.

Trainings Looking Good.
