Been on Christmas break as of last Wednesday. Haven't been doing much. Trained with my sons and shoveled plenty of snow in the last few days.
Being home on lock down has been most annoying. At least I'm with my family. I can't imagine how folks who are isolated are doing.
Spent alot of time on beltchecker in the last few days as well. Been getting alot of friend requests by folks fishing for votes. That is also annoying because it is blatant.
Oh well, I hope you all have a great day!

I trained this morning. I'm only a couple of chapters into Keenan's Lapel Encyclopedia and holy heck. It may not have me tapping men left and right but I can already tell it will make me a whole lot tougher to roll with.

Regular work day. Back to work as of Jan 4th.
It's been pretty quiet. Province is on lockdown so no extracurricular activities other than working out and training at home.
I've spent more time on beltchecker than on facebook and instagram combined and I'm addicted to social media.
I think I like it here better.
Anyway, wishing you all a great day!

When I've been on BeltChecker so much that it asks me to enter the security numbers to prove I'm not a robot, that's when I know it's time to put down the crack pipe for a while. :-D

Ha - I get that StackPath check almost every time. But I already know I'm on here too much. :P

I'm spending time on Beltchecker hanging out with you guys! This has definitely been a great resource during the pandemic.

Good Morning all! It's Friday but it does not feel like one. Feels like a Tuesday if a Tuesday has a feel to it. Lol
Last night I got a good workout in. Did a bunch of mat drills and grappling dummy drills plus my usual exercise. Was exhausted by the time I was done and it felt good.
Needed to get that aggression out. I start to become ogreish when I don't get to train regularly.
Nothing planned for the weekend as we are limited on what we can and can't do. Sounds like they will be enforcing a curfew soon.
We will find out today in that regard. Oh well, I wish you all have a great day.

Good day to you all!
Today is Saturday so no work. I will probably doing laundry today helping out my wife.
Other than that not much happening. You know, lock down and all.
Last night I was able to sit for 6 mins in .03 deg water at the Hot/Cold Immersion place.
My other rounds weren't as impressive but I did manage to do 5 mins and 3 mins a few times.
I usually sit in the sauna for 15-20 mins beforehand. Yesterday I went straight into the drink without the sauna first. I pulled 3 mins out on that one without a shiver.
I was really impressed with my own ability to stave off the effects of the cold. I just focused on my breathing till that was the only sound I heard despite Tool blasting in the background. Lol
Slept like a baby last night. Feeling pretty good and mostly pain free this morning. I will get a work out in sometime today. Have to take advantage of the situation while it lasts.
Anyways, I hope you all have a great weekend!

Not a lot going on today. I’m supposed to do an event poster for a friend. We are hosting a free Blue Jitsu Training thing for Law Enforcement officers at our gym. I’ll probably start on it later tonight. Right now I’m going to go on a little drive, I need to see something besides these 4 walls. lol Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Just jumping into this, although I meant to yesterday. Yesterday I taught a small Friday session at the Academy. Went over a home base guard passing position to knee slice, and covered what to do if the opponent sets up De la Riva. Then went into what to do if they get an undertook as you slice, into a guillotine trap or body surf to Kimura or back take. Sat in the sauna for about 25 mins for recovery.

Today was relatively chill. My hometown Buffalo Bills had their playoff game against the Colts so naturally I had to watch that. After that I did my work out. I started a new program today after doing an Every Minute on the Minute based program for several months. Today was day one, working on eccentric phase emphasis - back squat, bench press, weighted chin-ups, and close-grip bench press. Christian Thibadeau wrote it the programming so I figured I'd give it a shot to put on some muscle and strength during the colder months.

I'll get in some reading here shortly with some tea as I wind down for the evening. Hope you all had a great day.

Picked up my new MTB goggles from the mail. Worth it! Ordered from a U.K. web store for more than 10€ cheaper than I would've paid from any other seller. Worth it!

Oh yeah, ate pizza and watched others paint our living room. Worth it!

I took down the Christmas tree, cleaned and reorganized the garage, reorganized a storage closet, worked on painting my older daughter's room (it's about 2/3rds done now), hung a new framed poster in my study, and did a strength/conditioning workout. Also made good progress on a novel I'm reading, and husband and I finished Season 2 of His Dark Materials on HBO (our baby daughter, Lyra, gets her name from the books).

It was a productive day.

At work as usual but nothing really going on. It's been pretty quiet around here.
Did some estimating and now just online messing about.
Didn't train yesterday because my sons did not want to do anything so I watched some bjj vid instead. BORING!
There is supposed to be some big announcement today about the ongoing lock down.
Apparently, there will be more restrictions. It remains to be seen.
Hope you are all doing well and getting training in where you can.
This has to end sometime FFS

Spent my 10 year anniversary day biking on ice and coaching weightlifting customer. And the evening was all about cake and solving software issues.

I scheduled my first dose of the Moderna vaccine today.

January 25th.

The end is near.

Bored at work so I loaded a bunch of photos on the photo stream.

We are on full stay at home orders unless we are deemed essential workers. Good times.

I loved the Kurgans throwback pic. I loved those gis and Vitamins and Minerals.

I went to the advanced class this morning but coach couldn't teach it because he was having some lower back pain from the day before. The technique he wanted to teach was a loop choke that I'm pretty familiar with as I learned it last summer, so I wound up teaching the technique.

I think I might actually be okay at teaching when I know what the heck I'm doing (which is, admittedly, rare).
