I started the week with the little toe on my left foot being a colourful purple, blue and red. My first official Kung Fu injury. My toe rolled under my foot while doing timed spinning back kicks. I felt it but didn't think much of it at the time and kept on going with my reps and the rest of class. But by 5 pm that nite it was swollen up and acheing pretty good. Not a huge problem except when I put on my steel toed boots for work. All the guys at work just called me hopalong kung fu. Injuries are a part of life and especially in Kung Fu I imagine. So I'll just have to deal with them as they occur.
The second colour for the week was yellow. I was tested and recieved my yellow belt wedsnesday nite. I was surprised to be tested but was totally elated to receive my belt. Thanks to everyone who has helped and encouraged me. Halfway to my goal of attaining my orange belt this year. Yay.
The third colour for me this week was red, as in a red nose. Caught a head cold on friday/saturday and it just drained me. I slept alot and that has helped. Got me behind on my psuhups and situps but I know I can catch them up again no problem, just hate missing the daily stretching and eliptical workout I have being trying to make a daily habit. The fact I actually missed them is a good sign that means to me that I'm enjoying them and seeing and feeling the benefits.
Here's looking ahead to week 8 and thinking positive and knowing I'll feel better.
