It's pretty different learning broadsword. I kept holding it wrong and stabbing myself in the neck. Good thing it's not a live weapon or I'd be hooped. It felt like the first I Ho Chaun class went way faster than previous years. It's a lot different to have a person you've decided to train with, I like it. I just have to not put pressure on myself to learn everything all at once. I've never used a sword before and I'm a new green belt so there's going to be lots to learn and lots to practice. Plus I have to stay mindful of overusing my joints until I get my muscles more built up and stable to support them evenly. I'm looking forward to this year, I think it will be fun. I've learned my boundaries, my strengths and my weaknesses the past couple years and I just need to work with them to do what's right for me while following the program requirements.
I've managed to stay vegetarian. I feel like I have more of a grasp on it now. I'm finding my blood sugar is more stabilized for the most part and I don't have spikes and drops like I used to. I also seem to require a lot less food and I'm not craving carbs as much as I did at first. The only negative thing I'm finding is that my muscles get tired, sore and shaky a lot faster. I'm getting enough protein from plant sources, so I'm going to go to the doctor and ask them to check to make sure I'm getting enough other vitamins. My fridge is always filled with so many fruits and veggies now, it's weird. Never would've thought I'd know what brocollini was or that there was even such a thing.
Anyway, have a good week. Toodles.
