week 9 is it spring soon?

I find I don't mind the snow so much as I do the really cold temperatures that we have been experiencing. I'm in and out of the cold 6 to 10 times a day at work. I end up sweating like crazy due to the very warm inside temperatures, then I have to bundle up and walk the half mile back to the office trailers on my jobsite. The cold winds definately have some bite after you have been sweating.

I'm still feeling a bit blah, but that is mostly due to the fact that winter seems to be holding on with a vengeance. I got a good amount of sleep this week and that helped and I got back into a good training routine which had slipped abit the last week.

I'm trying to take 5 to 10 mins each nite to just relax and sit and revisit my day as it were. My beginning to meditation. I sit upright and just focus on an object in the room and try to really feel myself relax(without getting to relaxed, aka falling asleep).

The food challenge we started as a group this month is making me much more aware of the food choices I eat. As I reach for something that is of questionable nutrition( ie ritz crackers or baked chips) I find myself thinking about more positive choices, like some carrots or cucumber or even a couple slices of wholewheat bread. I'm not a perfect eater by any stretch of the imagination, but I know I'm eating alot more healthy then I did before I started doing Kung Fu.
