OMG ! Day 9

I caught cold last weekend. I sweat doing workout and I got cold when meditating with windows open. Maybe I caught cold at school, who knows. Everyone is coughing.
I stayed home on Monday and Wednesday. I went to school on Tuesday because I was supposed to check all the comments on the report cards. And on Thursday I came home early. It snowed on Friday and school finished at 3pm. I was relieved because I was supposed to chaperon the HS Valentine's semi formal dance.
I did my workout even though I wasn't feeling well. I thought the workout will give me the energy  but from Thursday to Saturday I thought I need to rest. Wow when I was doing PCP I never skipped the workout more than a day.
Today's workout was good. Jumping was lot easier than last part of PCP. I made sure that I won't get cold during meditation.

We seldom have snow where I live. People are not used to drive in the snow including me. I got snow tires for my car this year. I have a sleeping bag (for winter camping) in my car.

Anyway I drove safely home on Friday in snow. And saw the park covered with snow when walked my dog. It was beautiful.  It will never gets like where Deborah lives though.

It was  a nice day today. Some people paddling SUP. Wish I had one so that I could go paddling on a warm day like today.

Food: Eggs are back in my fridge. It is my routine to steam vegetables twice or three times a week. My favorites are daikon radish, carrot, lotus root and pumpkin in winter.
And I cook chicken with onion & tomato in Tajine. It's easy and delicious.
Yogurt and fruits are my favorite. No carbs for dinner is fine.
I go to the cafe with my dog every day to have dinner.  This place serves good food for people and  a bowl of various vegetables with lam/chicken/lever cooked in soup for dog.
I'd rather have a soup bowl for my dog during Kung Fu Body.

Valentine's Day tomorrow.

Are you planning something special for your sweet heart ?

Nothing for me.

New Year ! Kung Fu Body starts!

Yes, it was Chinese New Year on the 3rd of February.
Good time to start something new.

I feel sooooo good after having done the Day 1 menu.
I caught a bad cold last October and I stopped doing the maintenance program since then.
I kept eating Christmas, New Year... not exercising much ( actually none ) I was feeling my body is getting heavier and heavier.
So I am so glad that I am starting this program.

I like the three parts, Strength, Agility and Flexibility in this program.
Meditation gives me peace in my mind.

Ready!

Fill your bowl to the brim
and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people's approval
and you will be their prisoner.

Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity.
