So it’s been over a week since I last wrote. I’ve been walking a lot, in fact I walked to work every day since Anna left for Ohio. I’m eating moderately well. A few semi-binges which I need to stop calling them that and start calling them “not the best nutritional decisions.”
My fencing shoes and fencing foil and glove should be coming in the mail tomorrow and I intend to actually be here to answer the door! Progress!
I’ve researched several good hip stretched for me. I think they’re going to do me good. They feel great when I do them at night, and I think if not a warm-up then moving around is absolutely required before any stretching.
I’ve been thinking a lot about what my training regimen will look like—the actual skill set I’ll be practicing. I have a feeling I wasn’t taught exactly right. I think I was taught some ‘modern’ iterations of technique that were not necessarily practical in terms of health and maybe even effectiveness. For example, I was taught to go on guard with my weight favoring my back leg by about 60/40. I think this is awful for my hips, and I don’t know if the benefit is that great.
The idea is your leg is already bent so you can shoot forward and hit your target. I think this technique was right for coach, but maybe not for his student who weighed about 60 lbs more than he.
Well, I stayed up way too late talking to my friend from Dayton. New Year’s resolution will involve impulsive behavior and regulating my own life. I’ll have those tomorrow. Expect procrastination to be on the list. As in a problem to solve not a guarantee!
Sleep is very important for health, so I’m gonna go do that now. Wake up before (please god before) the UPS guy gets here with my stuff. 1st workout of the new year is tomorrow. Wish me luck!
Oh, update, I think I’m officially 217. Hoody hoo?
