So last week my body pretty much broke down. I haven't had more than 6 hours sleep in months, and actually getting 6 was pretty rare. Average was closer to 5, and it was broken up into 2 or 3 chunks. Consequently, I hit a wall. Mrs Chops wasn't feeling much better. So, we decided to take a week off and recharge. I went to bed at 9:30 for a few nights, took naps on the weekend, etc. I'm still tired as hell, but I am feeling much, much better than I was last week.
Today was Medium Intensity, and I only did 4 rounds of Circuit C instead of 5, but that's just because I didn't realize it was supposed to be 5 rounds. We worked out while the kids were up, which is always fun. Pro: they sometimes try to mimic the exercises we're doing, which is cute. Con: They like to try crawling under or behind us, which is dangerous if we don't notice. We managed to get through the night with no injuries, though, so that's a success in my book.
In random chops-world news, I finished reading "Emergency" by Neil Strauss. Good book. Some kind soul also gave me a copy of Southnarc's Reverse Edge Methods Vol 1 as a gift, which I watched this last weekend. It's good, really good. On one hand, it's almost all stuff that I've already learned from my previous Filipino Martial Arts experience. On the other hand, it's put together in a very logical and easy to understand manner, and all the superfluous stuff is stripped out. And I still have the Ray Floro DVD (I really should give it back, but I like it...) which I watch in bits and pieces. Also, I read a few blog articles on language acquisition which got me all fired up to get back on my Kanji and Svenska practice.
So, with the batteries recharged, look forward to regular updates again, and they should even include my non-workout activities plus knife work.
