....14 days......

The countdown has officially begun! The Senior National Championships in judo for Canada are two weeks away! I fight on the Sunday. I happy with how my technique is coming along, but not so happy with my health and my training. I had a pretty good workout this morning at judo. Sensei Dave gave me another green belt to throw around for a while,w hich was good, did tons of situational training, but this kid doesn't react the way most fighters react... very stiff and awkward, but I still got in some good training. Sensei Dave was showing me some good stuff that I will not write here for fear that any of my opponents might read this. BUT, then I went to the gym to train with Jesus: he took one look at me and sent me home. Told me to eat and sleep. I insisted on going for a run so I did, but I only lasted 15 minutes and then got off the treadmill and walked home. I got home and ATE. To most people, it doesn't seem like a lot, but I ate a lot! and I even ate some carbs! But, instead of sleeping, I CLEANED! I hadn't cleaned my house in forever, it felt good! And then, I took a great nap in my nice clean sheets!
This weekend, was my first weekend that I promised myself that I wouldn't use my car. I walked everywhere, judo, gym, Alaina's house, out to Aroma to meet the Aussie. I even took the TTC yesterday home from the kimonogirls seminar. I like how it feels... walking is good and it saves me gas money! Man, am I going to try my hardest to land a job in the next round of postings so that I can get a job close to home and I can park my car somemwhere and never use it again!!
Anyhow, I am watching the season finale of Survivor now, yes I like Survivor and I am not embarrassed to say so!!! So, I am off!
And som I will leave everyone reading this with the motto of judo as many people don't know it:
Minimum Effort, Maximum Efficiency
In other words, kick ass without breaking a sweat!
