Recovery- 1/2 cup live culture cottage cheese
Breakfast- Organic 'Nature's Path' Optimum Power Hot oatmeal
Snack- 1/2 Peanut Butter sanwich on Ezekiel Sprouted Bread
Lunch- 6 piece Ca rolls and a glass of carrot juice
Snack- fruit cup; Salad from Oscars
Dinner-
We warmed up with a run (I was still sleepy and didn't feel energetic or hydrated- it's been soooo dry lately and oddly enough, I have been drinking less water) and then did a bunch of very cool new fighting techniques. I think this was our first time to throw a kick into our combinations. Rudy called me out today about not keeping my hands up. I guess even in between 'sets' we are supposed to keep our hands up, ready for the next command.
One thing I really have a tough time with is keeping my guard up when hooking. I drop my guard, or my hook gets all weird if I keep it up. So I have to practice in front of a mirror to see if I am doing it right and get the muscle memory down, so I can do it better in class.
After that, we went back in for Cibatta exercises(I know that's the bread, but I am not sure what they are really called); basically the exercises that go in 1/2 minute then 10 second spurts. We interspersed hand weight exercises with running in place and rapid shadow boxing "PUSH YOUR BODY!"
We ended with a flurry of different ab exercises and then called it a day. I hope it's not my imagination, but I think I am getting better at them! Woohoo!
Some people were talking about Karen's letter the other day saying that they will cut people if they are not seeing enough effort, results or if they are not following the diet plan. I think I may have needed that... so far my diet is much bette today!
I'm still kinda sleepy when I write this.

Good job on the ab excercises getting easier- progress!! Well I'm off for my first night workout-not sure why I'm so nervous about it- maybe cuz I'm already tired and usually I need every ounce of energy to get thru the workout... See you manana!
Your abs definitely looked better when I saw you, and you were pretty strong from the ab demo you gave me. I think I'd die in one of your classes. Good job on the eating too.
Tried the cottage cheese as my recovery after my evening workout and it felt like it went right through me. I was starving. Maybe I should try the tuna? Any suggestions?
Andrea- Maybe a handful of almonds or a good trail mix and some cottage cheese. Or nuts and some tuna?
Nlocke-they are easier, but I am still far from 'good' at them! Still working on it!
I'll definitely try the nuts and trail mix. Probably the nuts. Are slivered almonds okay? I like them better than whole.
