11/26-AM: 30 minute conditioning circuit

20minutes sparring

40 minutes grappeling worked deep halfguard sweeps and freeroll

PM: Spent 90 minutes trying to explain to a new student that acting like a wild animal while grappeling in a bad idea and will get himself or other hurt. Not sure if he got the message.

Finally back to the gym today! Woo-hoo!

And now, the sad realization that I have lost soooo much.

Push day: bench, incline bench, triceps push-downs and another bench tricep exercise. Also did some abs and some forearm work.

I keep telling myself that it will all come back, and just take what I can get for now, and not push it.

Made it back to TKD class last night, too. Did mainly basics and forms review, which was good, because I sorely needed it. My legs are really sore now. I forget how much regular training does for my body.
