Hi there,
Well, yesterday was a very foobar day. I was not feeling well all day. I got home in the evening and tried to get myself together to go to Taichi class. I had some tea and was feeling better, but home's gravitational force was too great and I stayed home to do Sweat 3-4 and 12 reps of each ab move (I normally can do 15). So that was good.
This morning I got up to do Fat Burning Express and it was good. Tried to pile on some intensity as yesterday I joined the Club on TBB and was inspired by Tony's trainer tips on intensity=results.
HOWEVER, today is doomed to be another FOOBAR day as I forgot to take some routine medicines this morning and I will need to leave work early or I will feel symptoms. This sucks. I don't have enough leave to keep forgetting this medicine! YACK!
Well, at least I will get my Thursday sculpt workout in early today.

Loyalty
Loyalty.
What does it mean? "To thine own self be true" "Take care of you" These are the same.
At my kung fu school there is an ancestor altar for our schools late grandmasters. At the highest shelf of the altar sits a statue of GuanGong, a famous general from ancient general who signifies loyalty to one's school, friends and family.
I got to thinking about this and realized that spiritually this resonates with me. Jesus would want me to take good care of myself. Buddha would say the same. Now Guan Gong shows me a way. Discipline and love.
Guan Gong was once forced to surrender to enemy forces, but he fought hard to protect his lord's first wife and second wife (bear with me). The enemy lord was greatly impressed by Guan Gong's loyalty so he eventually gave them safe passage out of respect for Guan Gong. Guan Gong was a hero among men.
Alright, next time you go into a chinese restaurant that has a red altar for Guan Gong, or a traditional Chinese home or business, note the Guan Gong statue and wish me well.
May you live in love and loyalty to yourself and your loved ones.

Day 51: Rest day?
Hi there,
Last night I did my strength workout and then went to teach a kids kung fu class. I was bushed and SORE. (Glad I am finally getting sore as I hit the higher weights and do harder pushups!)
This morning I woke up for my WOWY to do the cardio and Abs rountines, but I just could not do it. I went back to bed. Tonight I have to work late and then I go to my Taichi class (which is actually a TOUGH workout in its own way -- hard to explain!). Anywhoooo... I might not do cardio today. I am finding it is best to be somewhat flexible with my Kung fu class days as my schedule is very tight as it is with LOTS of P90. So I may call today as a P90 rest day. Or maybe I can get off work early and come home and do the cardio before taichi. That'd be cool!

Ow! Day 50! Woot!
Oh boy what a sculpt workout I just had. My arms can barely write this post. Ow..
Day 50 is here and done. I have to say I am very satisfied in the new trends I see in myself. I am so much stronger and aerobically fit than 50 days ago. Although I haven't lost that much weight, I have gained strength and fitness.

WTF! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHGH!
Today I was up at 5AM like I usually do to workout (unless I oversleep), and THIS morning I had a thought...
What the F*CK am I doing?? It was hilarious! I was like "It's FIVE in the MORNING!" ROFL... Of course I know what I am doing, so I got to my workout. My inner child was fussy... So I ignored him!

Battening Down the Hatchets
This week I am going to be stricter with my points (my nutritional intake) and slow down on exercise some. If I want to do something extra, I will do light yoga or light kung fu exercises. I would really like to kick start my fat loss w/o over-training and this is the plan. Recording here for accountability!

Water!
Hi there,
I have realized I need to drink more water. That may be part of why I am not burning fat so readily.
Feeling a big case of Friday Disease today. I just want to go home and nap and get my weekend started. Uggh I am getting old lol. At 34...
See ya dear reader.
Day 46's FBE morning workout was light today. Wanted to rest a bit, but still Crushed PLAY!
