So I was sick for about two weeks with a nasty cold/bronchitis thing. I finally went in and got prescribed some antibiotics, and it cleared up. Which meant that I missed a couple of weeks of Judo (and didn't get much other exercise, and ate poorly). Which means that today, two days after my first day back, I am sore as hell. It probably didn't help that Stone was off with the big kids fighting, which meant I was working with a guy who was actually my size (I feel bad for Stone when he works with me now)-and we were doing Ippon Seionage, or One Arm Shoulder Throw, which meant I lifted a guy who weights just under 250 lbs 40 or 50 times. The practice nearly killed me, too. I can't slack so much, I guess. I walked the 4 miles that Sensei has tasked me with yesterday, and I'm going to try and do it every day that I can when I don't ride in to work. I also am supposed to do 100 sit-ups a day, and the two sets of 50 I did yesterday are probably also feeding into the all-over soreness I have. Tonight I get to go at it again-hopefully I won't be so sore that it makes it harder than it was yesterday (I'm hoping it will be easier).
All soreness aside, I'm really enjoying the Judo and I'm looking forward to doing some fighting practice (the groundwork, less so-I've never been a huge fan of groundwork, which isn't to say I'm not going to try and get better, just that I'm not as excited about the prospect of it). I am now doing three throws, which is nice, and I feel more comfortable at the dojo. Now I just need to get into better shape so it will go easier. Before the sickness I was down to 249, which, although still astronomically off from where I should be it was the first time I've been below 250 in far too long. Between Halloween and sickness I shot back up to 257-256 so I gotta get back down. I can only assume that Judo, 3-4 miles of walking or 9-10 miles of biking a day and 100 sit-ups a day is going to move me back in that direction. I'm trying to get back to eating better again, too, but that's been going less well-I seem to get absolutely starving at some point each day and I am weak, weak, weak. I've also had a touch of insomnia the last few days that is irksome, and which lead to me being way too tired to bike in today. I really want to get back on track with that too-the goal was to ride in every day that wasn't too extreme weather wise that I didn't have to drive somewhere else for work or which I wasn't work 2nd shift but I haven't biked in far too long. So I gotta get back on these things. But overall I'm pretty happy with what's going on and I hope to continue.
Enough navel gazing for now. |
