Chocolate and a spoon

While others fret over precise nutrition,my body's cycle pretty much rules and is precise. Warm pan of brownies right out of the oven,two spoons and a big glass of milk. Between my husband and I, the pan is finished in two days,mostly while the pan was still warm. From there it is several days of light eating,deep resting,less lifting and more walking,emphasis on flat and downhill. I enjoy my lady's holiday! It's a built in time to renew and re-group.

I added two more KB classes this month. One for new students and one for students with an established practice. Some highlights for me have been watching students decide that it is time to pick up a heavier bell for swings and rows. Go Carrick!!

Brynn showed us a flawless double sots last week. Nothing to it!

There are surprises for me on the Screening front, particularly on the ALSR. The idea is not to assume or interpret the screen until all the data is in. However, I still am surprised by the 3s I thought would be 1s or 2s and the 2s I thought would be 3s. No one dislikes the hurdle step more than I do. I speculate it is the standing leg stance. My left foot is kind of dead. I have a dim memory of injuring it in college. So, my body is playing favorites, to the dismay of efficient movement.

Last Friday I ended up with a stomach ache and a low grade fever. Monday night fever was 100.9 and broke with a restful night's sleep. Today I practiced kbs with class to feel back in the land of the living. Foam roller over the weekend made me sweat. Maybe contraindicated for flu.

This is normal for me. The season is changing and my body performs a pre-season re-boot. Cool temps tonight feel right to absorb the evening fever flare up.
