Well, its still lockdown in my country (India), but practice qith not more than 10 persons is permitted, so started training with one of my guys... Good to be back
Same here except we have the additional rule that all contact sports are not allowed so we just sit at home lurking online.... so sad

We are still locked down. I was training secretly here and there but now injured.
Only teaching my kids and a super secret privates.
On another note. Just got my kids US citizenship status confirmed at the US Consulate here.
I took the day off for it and now just hanging out at home on the "interwebs" LOL

I hit 152.3 lbs today! (69.1 kg for the people with the sensible measuring system). I bought a FitBit in Jan '16 and have periodically tracked my weight since. Prior to today, the lowest I'd ever tracked it was 152.6 on 2/18/16. Body fat is at 23.8% per measurements.
I'm still doing keto, but I want to start working on body composition and putting on weight again in muscle. I think I'm going to experiment with re-introducing complex carbs into my diet, maybe shoot for around 100g of carbs a day. I'm definitely off the starchy white stuff though.
Life is good.

Carbs are great! Went for a swim in the nearby river after nogi. Water was super warm. Swam for an hour. Ate ice cream and grilled sour dough pizza to recover. In that order.

This little bumblebee was sheltering from the rain under the leaves of my crabapple bonsai today. So cute!

Taught a joined MMA and submission grappling class. All the butt scooters were working S mount armbars and spider web defense with me while the manly MMA guys did wrestling against the wall. Everybody was sparring together at the end. In my opinion those MMA guys would've needed to work on their armbar defenses. :D

Good Morning All
Just at work. Hooked on a series on Netflix that I had never considered watching before.
It's called Blindspot. It's pretty decent.

Never heard of it, I'll take a look next time I need a binge (though Beastars Season 2 comes first, the opening season was excellent). :D

Found out I have all the genetic markers for heart disease today. My Lipoprotein A levels are super high so at least I know how I'm going out.
Nothing really I can do as it is genetic. My lifestyle is as healthy as I can get it without only eating grass. Lol I don't eat junk food, meats or consume alcohol with the exception of one beer weekly. Might have to go on statins but have not heard from my doctor yet. Oh well, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Knowing that certain elements cannot be changed make the best choices for your life. I'm in a similar situation being around the same age. My doc has been suggesting I do a DNA sequencing to find out where more problem areas are and to address them but conceded some can't be changed.

Yea but I have done a ton of traveling because all the men in my family have heart attacks in their low to mid 50's so I am living now just in case. lol over 50 countries so far. would of been over 70 if not for covid.
I think one of my problems is I have a never ending supply of adrenaline which is a double edge sword. It's like a humming bird effect to where when your always intense the limited amount of heart beats you get are ticking faster no matter how calm and relaxed you try to be. I never get jet lag. My body has no idea what time is.
And I might get to face more black belts in the Gi this weekend if they don't pull out from facing me :)

Yay, it's the Olympics! I've been enjoying the judo and gymnastics today, 3 on 3 basketball is a cool addition too (I didn't realise that was an Olympic sport now). Other two sports I'm particularly looking forward to are the wrestling and weightlifting. :D

Booked two privates for tomorrow, tore down our back yard gate to make room for a new one. Oh and make the best damn burgers. Life is good.

Work work and more work.
Dealing with a shoulder issue. Been able to teach but the pain is terrible. Been rehabbing it. Hopefully it heals up good.
Just at work and have a guy who claims to have been hurt on the job. I have him on modified/light duties until his doctor clears him for regular full duties.
I've rolled in worse shape than he is in. Oh well.
Have a great day!

I'm excited to finally get some new tattoos (I managed to have a touch up last year, but nothing new). I maaaay have gone a little overboard by booking three in the same week (later this month), but meh. Stacks the recovery time into one chunk. ;)
