Day 8: Embracing Warriorship
I got the core stuff done yesterday (again, this is the next day), which is always nice. Thinking about how much difficulty I’ve been having with getting through things – I’m thinking I’ve been relying too much on willpower and I’ve generally got so much crap going on anyway that I don’t have much left.…

Day 7: Embracing Warriorship
I’m tired the last few days and having a helluva time continuing on with this project. I think that means I need to keep going all the more. I got my core stuff done yesterday (yeah I’m a day late on this) except for getting out of bed on time.

Day 6: Embracing Warriorship
Yeah far less stress on myself when I don’t overload myself with everything. I did my journaling, cold water exposure, and took my dog for a walk after I got home from work. I realized I’ve been floundering with my goals for this – making them far too complicated. Eh derp. I’m pursuing the path…

Day 5: Embracing Warriorship
Something absolutely unexpected happened yesterday – my neighbor who almost made me punch his lights out – apologized. So yeah, that’s nice, I know another of my neighbors by name and hey he’s walking his dog on a leash and apparently not being so much of a jackass. Wow. In other news I’ve actually been…

Day 4: Embracing Warriorship
I’m really not feeling like I’m embracing warriorship today – but I’m going through everything. I showed up at the dojo and did some light bag work, light stretching, and some combinations in the air. I just couldn’t get my joints to warm up. I probably need to get some sleeves for my knees and…

Day 3: Embracing Warriorship
I woke up on time and got through my morning stuff done and then took care of everything except for weight training. My body is still acclimating to the new training schedule, so I’m going to forgo weights today. I’ll get up early tomorrow and get training in the dojo done. A good sweat after…

Day 2: Embracing Warriorship
I got home from teaching last night and was too tired to write this by the time I could have. It’s what I get for “slacking off” and letting myself have some extra time to sleep after weights followed by some intense cardio. I didn’t get my professional reading done yesterday, but I did get…

Day 1: Embracing Warriorship
I got up and got my son ready to go to the babysitter and then I headed for the gym and got a full weight session in. Squats 135×5 205×5 240×5 240×5 240×5 Bench 135×5 185×5 210×5 210×5 210×5 Deadlift 135×5 225×5 285×5 Making sure I get a full 2 min between sets helps massively.…

Embracing Warriorship – Reboot
I’ve been debating on what to do differently this time around and I had a couple of epiphanies while I was at it. I’ve got access to a dojo that’s unused first thing in the morning, so I’m going to start going in and training for an hour on days when I’m not doing weights.…
