14th Post

Hey the calendar reminder popup on my desktop works great ... its been bugging me since yesterday at 1 PM to get  my journalling completed.  Dosen't say much for my self discipline that I have to get my computer to nag me but it does bring it to the front of my mind during a busy work day. 

Hurt my back on November 12th while dancing with Dean.  I have gone to see the physio and of course it hurt like the dickens but it is starting to feel better.  On the bright side it actually hurts to sit for any period of time so although I'm not fast ... I am stretching, doing tai chi and other forms which helps loosen up my back. Kicks are low and slow but still they help rather than hinder at this point its just a matter of not doing things suddenly and stretching before I attempt anything.  One mistake was attempting to do the leap at the end of stick three,  jumping and twisting ... not quite there yet, otherwise all is good.

Talk to you all next week.

13th Post .... Very Very behind

So its Nov 15th of 2011 and I am so far behind on this requirement (blogging) its not even funny. However sifu says despite all that may have gone before ... finish strong. I will be putting on my desk (at work) electronic calendar to blog with a reminder set so I expect to do better. Ask me why I haven't done this before? I don't have any sensible response or good excuse. Fortunately I don't suck at everything I have put on my list of things to do. The girls on their blogs made us sound pretty spectacular for when we were visiting but hey we just wanted to spend time with our babies, experience their life a bit and have a good time ... nothing special from us required. I loved being with them and sharing the experience of living and training in china for a little while, they were great hosts and so was the school where they train. I caught up on my kicks and form repetitions while I was there big time ... wholly hannah those guys train hard. I was very sore.

Since I got home I have been doing okay at the maintenance of most of my requirements (excluding blogging) and swimming is again being reintroduced into my schedule. However a couple of things have fallen completely off the chart. First is Complete Master Gardner Workbook (Lakeland College)... paid my money ... did not complete.

Second was to Achieve (Silver 2) in Ball Room Dancing (Rumba, Cha Cha, Mambo, Samba, Tango, Waltz, Foxtrot, Swing) Dean and I worked very hard at it but did not pull it off. As KungFu & family takes priority I am have chosen to accept these losses and revamp for 2012 coming up.

Talk to you all next week.
