    I could have sworn I went through a bit of a slump around day 25 on my last 30 day cycle – but I went through and read several days and couldn’t find anything about a slump. It must have been earlier – that being said, going back and reading these actually helped me out…

    I hate daylight savings time – I’ve never been able to find a clear answer as to why it exists: “oh it’s for the farmers” – err wait. “Oh it’s to save whale oil!” – oh umm well yeah that’s not something we use anymore. The whole thing whatever it is, isn’t relevant and only…

    Holy crap, less than a week out from finishing my second 30 day challenge. Again, there hasn’t been anything mind-blowing that’s happened. But I’ve had a couple of very impactful experiences that have helped my relationship with others as well as my relationship with myself. It felt really good to go out into my driveway…

    I woke up late – it’s Saturday after all. But I pretty much got right to work, did my mobility work and practiced a couple of forms. I got my professional reading done, and then read some more from Living the Martial Way – a really good book. I wish I had picked it up…

    I got out of bed on time this morning, I hydrated, and then went right into mobility and martial practice. I took a primarily cold shower and then blasted myself. I took care of my grooming and getting dressed, then had to time out while I got my son ready to go. Got all my…

    I slept in a bit this morning, then got up and walked out to my kitchen and hydrated. Then I decided to go go back to bed – I’m still fighting crap. I’m about 90%, but for some reason my body just won’t come back the last 10%. I’m still congested and have low energy…

    I got up late this morning – well comparatively anyway. I jumped in the shower at 5:11 and was out of the bathroom by 5:31. I did end up taking a mostly cold shower to make sure my wife had hot water. I’m thinking it’s going to become something regular. I had to cut a…

    I slept like shit last night – the joys of relationship troubles as you change and grow. I got out of bed on-time this morning and did a lot of stuff, but I kept my son home because wasn’t feeling well. I cut my reading a little short as well – I’m already way ahead…

    I slept in this morning – I was little drunk when I went to bed last night. But I still got up and went through everything. Doing things is surprisingly easy if you simply don’t accept anything else. I’m finding out how important it is to keep your word with yourself and how it builds…
