Every single day.

| Much like cookie-cutter housing, it makes me want to shoot myself in the face |
I'm starting to chaff at the bit about the blog. I'm not even convinced how rigidly I'm holding myself to the goals, especially after failing to eat a proper breakfast at work all week. So the weetbix isn't on my desk as a constant reminder. I don't know how much of it is just that work itself has finally driven me into apathy so any non-fun obligations have become highly abhorrent, or that the p90x in and of itself has run out of steam in this trooper.
I still feel like I've improved. My sleep and diet have really skyrocketed out of the depths of studentdom (finally, four years later...) into something resembling "Acting like a responsible Adult" which yes, we all know helps make you fitter, stronger, faster, better. My mindset has changed in regards to Aikido and Derby - both in my interpretation of my achievements and my behaviour at training.
I feel like I wanted this to shift me into a better position to launch out of the blocks and really own this year. Yes, we're into March already, but I think I've made some fantastic progress and am in the best position to give my everything to all the challenges, adventures, the expected and unexpected that this year is throwing my way.
So. Day Fifty Seven. I'll keep doing this until I know one way or the other, I'm not going to abandon it until it's sure.
Fitness: How times have changed. Seriously. I spend enough time in the dojo and on sports court that finding time outside of that is hard. Like cinder block hard.
Aikido: Thwarted. We were meant to be doing jo work! Anyway, instead we did step-by-step hip throws. I'm atrocious at hip throws so it was good to go through them slowly and broken down. Pity about my whiplash, it made it hard on one side to get the correct arm movement.
Derby: Can not believe I didn't know how to backwards swoop. I'm very comfortable going backwards, even cutting sideways (backwards lateral leaps? yarr) but swoops? Technical deficiency. I'll chalk this up to needing to work on my swoops in general - other than that and dealing a blow to Pow's face (which she returned with a much higher success rate as I leaked blood profusely afterwards) it was an interesting training session. Not sure I really felt like anything really clicked, nor did I feel like I underperformed. It all felt... middling. Which is fine... but... not what I'm aiming for. It all just needs a bit more practice. And get lower. I need to grab one of the league and get them to drill waitressing with me anyway. I think it's a skill I could pick up easily and put to good use.
Diet: Tea, then muesli and pears with syrup for breakfast. I meant to buy some snacks while I was out for lunch but that became a bit skewed so I came home and made prawn fried rice. I wanted a couple of chips before it was ready, and accidently opened a mammoth bag of chips. I thought it was one of those multipacks! Then I exhibited little to no self control and ate significantly more chips than necessary. Then had some prawn fried rice, which I also doubled for dinner after training. A tropical frozen fruit juicie for dessert.
Sleep: Woke up around 8am and waited until my alarm went off at 8.45am (I went and got some tea while I was waiting). Felt a little tired around 5pm but more likely due to my activities and activity level than being actually sleepy. It's just about 12am now, and I want some more sleep now.

| I just really like the concept of napping It suggests a high level of contentment |
I really want to change up my activities to supplement the current monotony of my schedule. I'm hopeful several things are coming up that will assist that happening in a big way, with minimal effort. We'll see.
