There were only two people in class today and, shock of shocks, I was the senior student. Oddities not withstanding, I got my second stripe!
I got the form for the blackbelt challenge. It officially starts on the 9th, but I'm going to try for it starting tonight.
- 100/50/25 pushups
- 100/50/25 situps or crunches
- Form & Sparring combo x2
- Meditation/Prayer (5-10 minutes)
- Stretch (5-10 minutes)
- Good deed
- Drink at least 32 oz water
- 15 min. aerobics
- Spar drills
The ones I didn't list (and why):
- 15 minutes aerobics or walk/run. The physically demanding tasks above should take at least 15 minutes to perform.
- 10 minutes reading or writing. Other than my reading hobby, I'm in college so I end up reading a lot more than that every day whether I want to or not! :P
- 1 "fun" hour with a loved one. Once a week. I showed that to my wife and she had a good laugh. If I'm not doing at least one hour of family time a day, life gets very difficult for me (my son is very vocal when he doesn't get as much attention as he deserves)
- Hug / "I love you". I'm sure there are people out there that need a goal to do this once a day but I really hope I'm not one of them.
- Maybe I'll add in the fun hour description, as well as the hug / I love you, as a way to boast about my wonderful family. Don't say I didn't warn ya!
