Swings and Martial arts day

Cycling

It's a good thing I keep track of things in different locations....otherwise I'd be screwed! Breakfast was 1/2 cup musli with 5 small strawberries, 1 banana and 1/2 cup lemon yogurt. Short way in this morning because of work-related crap from yesterday. Snack of coffee and about 1.5 cups of mixed melon salad (pineapple, watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe). Kelly and I biked out to Kyushu for lunch where I had 2 rolls (salmon and avo. hand roll & eel&cucumber roll) and about 1 cup of veggie fried rice with 2 green teas) Total for today is 12 miles with an average speed of about 14mph. The Kettlebelling is really helping, I just need to stop needlessly snacking.

Lifting/KB/BodyWeight Workouts

Tried one handed swings for the hell of it today. Found I can do them just fine, but not as many swings in a row...though part of that could have just been that I was tired, as I didn't get much sleep last night.

• Face the wall Squats
• Pumps
• Halos
• One-handed swing ladders (10/15/15/15)—each hand.

Other Training

• Hell of a Karate class today, but I wound up helping people with the drills toward the end, but was noticeably dripping
• Scott showed up for sword, and we stated out with 350 good hard cuts running though all of the 8 basic cuts and 20 tsukis. Form work after wards. Was dripping pretty good by the end. Scott must have been ready to puke
• Gungfu was killer today. We even did a round of 20 push-ups, 40 jumping jacks and speed jabs/crosses at the end. We started doing half Burpies (I guess you may as well call them squat-jumps) and my pants decided that my ass needed more ventilation, because they tore out seam to seam after I hit 25. They were my favorite silks too. Oh well...just means I get to order new ones at some point when I've got a spare 100 bucks or so, since most of mine don't seem to fit anymore (I mean, yeah they're supposed to be billowy, but some are now at least 2 sizes too big! My XLs look like I could fit me and Kelly into them, if not for the narrow neck line.).

The new folks didn't show up, so Shishou and I called it a night after Gungfu. I feel totally smoked, but in a good way. Planned out the rest of my KB workouts for the next few weeks up until a trip to visit my grandparents in NYC the second weekend in August. Should have eaten a better dinner (leftover deepdish pizza and a 3/4 cup of ice cream), but I'm gonna take a long ride in the morning to make up for the extra calories I put in. Okay, time for another glass of water, then bed. I think the toothpicks I put under my eyelids are starting to slip...
