When I stood upright, he tried to do harai-goshi on me and shouted out "Harai!"

I'd be angry if I wasn't so proud of him!

Today my son punched me in the groin. When I doubled over, he slapped my face and ran away laughing.

I had a really good arms workout today at the gym. I didn't get a chance to run, but I hope to make up for it with randori and kickboxing tonight.

Serious about my level of fitness now. My inlaws have gone back home to Russia. This makes it much easier to follow my diet plan. Time to dial it in...

I'm always a little nervous before doing a seminar, but once I get started I really enjoy it.

super long day yesterday...desperately in need of a nap. No workout today.

I did my first p90x workout this morning, but then ate nachos for dinner :(

Happy Valentine's Day!

I got the P90X today.

Decent shoulder workout this morning. Arms workout got interupted with conversation. I might go back to the gym after the dojo morning classes to finish the arms and run on the elliptical. My weight is up a few pounds from last week, but it is due to the breads and sugars I took in for a couple of days.

P90X...

Ordered myself the P90X system. I should get it in a few days. I am hoping for revitalized motivation from it. Lately, it has been hard to stay motivated due to the challenges I have been facing nutritionally and with poor time management. While my in-laws are here, I am continually surrounded by temptation (carbs and sugar). I also feel guilty buying and preparing separate food for myself from what they are eating. We are having a lot of celebrations while they are here. Malcolm's 3rd birthday is this Friday. I will try to make that my cheat meal day. I did manage to run this morning on the elliptical. Tomorrow, I hope to get into the gym early enough to lift weights. I have really been slacking on the strength training. Hopefully the P90X will help boost my metabolism and I can get back on a solid routine again. I miss being in great shape. Good night.

My 3 year old son just told me he loves me in two languages! How cool is that?

good morning...

Well, today I had a good workout with chest and lats. I felt strong again. The low carb diet had me feeling pretty weak for a while. I am still on carb restriction, but my body is adapting better now. Now, we'll see if anyone shows up for morning randori and kickboxing. I am here at the dojo right now and there is no one showing for jiu-jitsu...bummer for them.

sleep...

I didn't get much sleep last night, so I decided to sleep in a go to the dojo before working out at the gym. Needless to say, I never made it to the gym. I did eat better today. I plan to hit the gym in the morning and then do randori (if anyone else shows up). Good night all.

I took today off from working out. Back on track tomorrow. Diet is going well. I had a good cheat day this weekend.
