Tonight I am doing Warrior Wellness™ and have BJJ practice.

Sorry its not in the reporting format, but just wanted to update what I am doing in this transitional period.

[Jim Tinney]

Lunch - Chicken, Carrots, and Rice + Water
Pretzels
Protein Shake

PM - Warrior Wellness (Beg Prog) - hips are loosening back up, I think using them differently at BJJ while they were still recovering from the marathon shocked them a bit. Worked slow through the spine and hip portions.

[Jim Tinney]

PM - BJJ practice - 1 hour drills - 45 minutes of sparring (moderate)

My mind is shaking off the "i'm not in shape for this" rust - I am finding the reserves built up from the marathon to be pretty deep - hardly got winded at all, and was still feeling good and energized at the end of practice. Took some time before practice to roll through some of the hip and spine Warrior Wellness routine as well.

Dinner

1/2 roasted garlic, spinach and goat cheese pizza
salad with mandarin oranges and feta
1 glass of wine
1 fruit smoothie (peaches, mangos, yogurt, wheat germ, ice)

[Jim Tinney]

Breakfast

Cereal with strawberries and bananas w/ milk
extra glass of milk

Lunch

PBJ, Pretzels, Fig Newmans and a Protein Shake (Banana, strawberries, milk, yogurt, wheat germ and protein powder)

PM Warrior Wellness BEG Prog

I think I was resisting doing WW today. I'm glad I finally got around to doing it. I found alot of tenderness in my neck from last night's practice (we were drilling excapes from the scarf hold, which always leaves some strain on the neck). Feeling better for having moved some.

[Jim Tinney]

Dinner last night

2 pieces of cod
potatoes
salad
1 sprite (couldn't resist)

breakfast
Cereal with bananas and strawberries + Milk
OJ

[Jim Tinney]

Late Lunch
(about an hour and a half after my usual time)
PBJ w/ pretzels, half a dozen fig newmans, protein shake.

Definitely noticed the delay in getting to lunch --- Also missed having alot of protein in breakfast. Hindsight tells me that my body has appreciated Step One, and that this new program is making a difference.

PM - took a time out to do a quick Warrior Wellness Beg Prog.

[Jim Tinney]

Quickly,

Friday night - Kabobs and Rice for Dinner - Saw Farenheit 9/11 - (great movie) - had some popcorn and a sprite (couldn't stop myself)

Saturday

Late Breakfast - Tuna on whole wheat, baked potatoes and a smoothie

Dinner - Steak and rice burrito w/ a sprite

Felt slow all day - noticed the difference from the delay in eating in the morning

Sunday

Eggs and Toast w/OJ for breakfast

Chicken Salad on Whole Wheat and Grapes for lunch

Dusted off my clubbells and worked through a quick workout, just to refamiliarize myself:

2x10 basic arm swings
5x5 swipes
5x5 mills
1x25 drumming
1x2 (1/2 swipe + iron cross + finish swipe)
1x5 (both sides) basic arm swing with the other club held in order position
1x5 (both sides) inner/outer pendulum with other club in order
churning (tried to make circles alternating and wide, first inside then outside)

Felt good - not too much strain - technique was good (7-8), although my mills on the left arm were a little choppy (4-5)

Dinner - Steak, rice and veggie burrito with corn chips + sprite.

(too much soda lately)

6/28/04

Breakfast

2 pieces of whole wheat toast and jam
protein shake

Lunch

1/2 chicken quesadilla + 1/2 chicken salad sandwich + handful of sun chips + protein shake

I am starting to put step three into practice and will be trying to include protein in every meal.

Warrior Wellness (Beg Program)

I am noticing some issues in my upper chest, which I think is related to an old injury which sometimes bothers me when I sneeze, etc. - after WW, I added in 2 back arches, facing up and down. I could use some work on this upper portion my torso, I think. I have some residual upper body soreness from playing around with the clubbells last night.

BJJ practice tonight.

[Jim Tinney]

BJJ practice was very good

1 hour of active drills (moderate)
45 minutes of sparring (moderate-difficult)

Endurance, which I thought was an issue, is not an issue anymore. I think my brain has adjusted and the marathon training is kicking in. My breathing was fine the entire time. I could use some strength endurance and some additional strength, so I should adjust my goal when I get around to designing my cycle.

Dinner - Salad in a wheat pita. Protein Shake.

6/29 - Breakfast - Cereal in Milk + Protein Shake.

[Jim Tinney]

6/29 Lunch - Chicken Salad on whole wheat + Sun Chips + Protein Shake

I've been knocked off track on my record of nurtrition. I am back on Step One of the SATRP and am just going to stick with that for a while.

[Jim Tinney]

Played eighteen holes of golf on Saturday. I haven't touched the sticks in a little over a year. Played one of the best rounds I've played. Interesting.

BJJ tonight.

[Jim Tinney]

Fallen off the wagon a little bit, as things have gotten super busy... excuses, I know.. and a typical pattern for me... I've been going to BJJ practices... time to re-commit. I start an evening MBA program next month, so things are only going to get busier... time to make it work.
