Notes:

• This is the “advanced” version, where you just keep doing ladders. I like it. I need to really have the discipline to give it my all and not dog it on the rowing, but the skillset it is developing is valuable.

• Got in a 1:15 hold last night. My average is improving.

• Coffee fasting this morning. Nice to come back to it. I’m enjoying the time away from eating to have a break from digesting.

• Weighed in at 84.9: same as yesterday. Good sign. My clothes are fitting better, to include my weight belt.

• Tang Soo Do tonight. It’s basics week, and our chance to get our final stripe so we can test for new belts in Mar. Doing so will put the Valkyrie and I 2 belts away from testing for black, and the kiddo 3 away. Our instructor keeps talking about WHEN we test, rather than if. It’s pretty awesome how far we’ve come.
