Good Morning,
At work this morning as usual. Had some good training last night.
Just unloaded a truck load of construction supplies with my forklift. Put everything away and going to have my morning break.
My wife made me a nice lunch for later today so I have that to look forward to.
Debating on doing some estimating for an upcoming project (withing the next year) or watch some vale tudo videos on youtube. Lol
It is actually going up to 15c today here in Ontario. Sunny and warm is my favourite weather.
Hope you all have a great day!

Woke up this morning to the realization that I caught my first fat/bruised lip in jiu-jitsu last night. Now rocking my best "Peloton wife" smile to go with it. :-D:-D:-D

I've started running, which is something I never thought I'd get into. But yeah, a few friends have been running for ages and invited me to their Facebook group to motivate everybody, and it seems to have worked. Mainly because I've been feeling flabby over lockdown, so it's about time I got in some regular cardio. Hopefully I can keep it up.
Strava is helping. All those figures make me feel like I'm starring in my own RPG, so that's good. That means even my weedy mini runs have enough data on them that I can targets to play with. Plus there is a park right near my house, nice place to jog. Especially this gorgeous Victorian avenue of trees. ;)

Strava motivated me for awhile, then the garmin watch really messed me up. Now I run all the dang time.

We'll see if I manage to keep this up when the conditions get worse. E.g., when it's raining loads, which in England is quite often. ;)
Then again, it's only a 10 minute jog and it's right behind my house, so not exactly a lot of effort. :P

I used to run all the time. Now I just can't. The back surgery messed me up. Now I just walk alot weather permitting of course.

Been laying on a bed of ice packs, healing up from yesterday's competition. My husband can't believe I'm able to fall asleep on ice packs like this.
Always told him I was a polar bear.

Welcome to you first competition.
One of the guys in my gym was like, "I wasn't that sore after my first comp."
But did you fight a 25-year-old bodybuilder? DID YOU?? :-D :-D :-D

Hit the gym. GHD, Good mornings, drop squat with bounces, reverse nordics, pistol squats... for activation/warmup, then snatches up to 85, high rep squats up to 80, deadlift singles up to 160, then weighted and regular pull ups in the 1-10 rep range. Feeling it all right now, especially in my posterior chain. Love it. :D
Also lots of family time. Love that too.

He's my age (39). Would have been 37-38 for his first tournament.
My first gi match was against a 25yo bodybuilder (she has plenty of pics on IG). It was like fighting a man. So damn strong.

Somebody much stronger and significantly younger than you is definitely not fun in a comp. I'm guessing it was too small a bracket to divide up into age peer groups? Though yeah, sadly even in big comps, it is difficult for female competitors to get matched up against their peers. One of my students, who is in her 40s, fought her first ever comp match against somebody half her age, so she could sympathise with you. ;)

Yeah. The bodybuilder was in the bracket beneath us but didn't have a match, so they moved her in with me and the woman from nogi (who was 32; I was the old lady in the group). I had a feeling that was going to happen.
There were only about 10 adult women signed up for gi and 10 for nogi in the entire tournament. It is what it is.

Monday morning blues and it's cold outside.
Waiting on a truck delivery and working in the office after. Not much going on other than that today.
Hope you all have a great day!

Good Morning all. Just at work as usual. Back is bugging me a bit, oh well.
Trained yesterday with my son. We had fun.
Hope you are all well and have a great day!

I get my 2nd dose of the Pfizer vaccine in about 30 minutes. Hoping it's not as rough as a few have said.

According to this site, I spent yesterday attacking it. :D Wrote a great long gym story, just to have it all washed away by the error.

It had me feeling crappy for a full day, and then went to bed, and presto chango, perfectly fine again. I hope you get everything minor sir...

I got the Moderna. Had a sore arm for 3-4 days after the second dose and felt groggy/fatigued. After that, perfect. Hope you're well!

Good morning y'all!
I'm feeling much better since my comp on Saturday. The only thing still a little sore is that arm that was almost armbarred in my first match, but it's almost back to normal now, too. Not having to sleep on a bed of ice packs anymore.
A teammate and I have begun working through Danaher's Closed Guard instructional. I'm liking it a lot! It's really connecting the dots for me on closed guard. I'm looking forward to my second nogi class tonight.

Filmed a little IG content at the gym. Some tips about prep work for squatting/deadlifting.
Trained the dog at my brother's house, super challenging for the little guy when there's 3 husky bitches trying to get his attention. I'm quite proud of how well he did.
Fixed my old headset. Sadly, the wifey doesn't want to use cans. Picked up my new headset and immediately fell in love with it. Does anybody want to buy a great wireless/wired headset in good condition? :D

You know what’s worse than writing? Editing. I spent eight hours verifying and editing reports today. Then, after I finished, I was able to reward myself with school work I should’ve done over the weekend lol.
