I just want to advertise an old school idea that is being lost on society. What you may ask? The sending of postcards!. Check it out.

Reset

I can't explain what happened to me lately. I think the winter and cold was dragging on me. I lacked motivation and was eating horribly. I was worried that I was throwing all my hard work out the window and that I would end up packing on the pounds again over the winter months.
Fortunately a switch in my head flipped on Sunday and I feel like I'm back in the game. I curled yesterday and and did cardio at the gym. I was riding a natural high all day. I thought that my postive high could help our curling but we still lost. (I don't think we won a game this season yet). Classic.
So I'm just happy to motivated again and recharged. I don't know where it came from but I do not want to jinx it.

Winter

I find the weather makes it hard to stay motivated. It is cold and it gets dark super early. It makes a person just want to stay inside and play video games and hibernate.

So we lost our curling game last night. As ususal we keep the game close for the first few ends then the opponents blow us out of the water. Classic.

Tonight I'm back to martial arts. So basically its the same routine for me each week: martial arts and curling. I added a walk on Saturdays. Really though I should be focusing running but first I would need to find a race to run.

Still on the Grind!

I went to martial arts on Monday and curled later in the evening (We lost). Tuesday I went to martial arts and tonight is martial arts and repeat process on Thursday. So my weeks usually just fly by.

And this upcoming Sat I plan on a super hike. If you know where I'm from I plan on hiking the whole outside loop of Hershey Lake.

So my days are full of physical activity. Now the only piece of the puzzle is watching what I eat.

Unrelated note: I watched Megamind the movie last night and it was surprisingly good.

Don't Hit The Panic!!

So the past week was a write-off. I was so sick last Tuesday and missed a bit of work. My body was so week that I had to conserve energy. I had to avoid martial arts to allow my body to heal, I didn't want to take a chance and get hurt or become more sick.

So I missed a whole week which is not good. But because I was sick my appetite was poor so I did not over eat. I hope it balances out.

I eased myself back into the physical activity by going for a hike with my buddy Sat morning on a nice fall day. For some reason I'm suddenly into hiking and backpacking.

So this week I will be back to my regular routine.

Still At It

So I took Friday off from exercising to let my body rest. I didn't miss any martial arts this week. I'm feeling pretty good about things and realize that it will take time to lose weight.

I didn't want to slack off on the weekend so I did a hour of cardio at the gym today. And tomorrrow I will do cardio also.

I added some walking (to the Santa Claus parade) and some furniture moving. That must count for something.

I'm still on the fence about the kinect for x-box. I have been hearing good things. I will wait to after Christmas when the rush for it dies down for it and I have money saved for it.

I'm trying to fiqure out the next race to run to keep me motivated.  I live at least 4 hours away from any major race and race season is almost done for the year. The next race I will probably run is in Feb.

Lost the Match

We lost the curling match on Monday. (It was something like 8-4). Curling is not a hardcore workout but it is a fun activity and not everyone in the world can say they curl on a regular basis. It is a unique sport.

So Tuesday I continued with my martial arts. The first class was weapons training (we did knife fighting again) and the second class was kickboxing. I'm glad i didn't skip out. Each time its the same drill: I don't feel like going and have to mentally push myself to get there and then once I'm done the workout I'm so glad I went.

So its back to martial arts tonight and then for coffee with a friend.
