Today I was feeling a bit lazy so I rolled a solid 6: max reps :LOL:

I'm really enjoying using the dice in training, it keeps the body from getting used to the training for longer and keeps the mind from wanting to do more and more each time :)

Last night at Muay Thai after the first half hour of athletic preparation with deep squats in the technical training part I had difficulty lifting my leg for knee strikes :LOL:
But my wife was very happy with the pecs I came back with (yes, we did push-ups too) :)
I'm always a bit perplexed by compliments about my body, it rarely happens to me and I've always identified more with my mind than with my body. But I've learned to say thank you anyway.

Learning to be okay with saying thank you, even if you don't really get the compliment in a situation like this, is a good skill. :)

Last night I discovered (with ill-concealed pleasure) that the others also had sore legs from Tuesday's Muay Thai training :LOL:
I always suspect that it's me who's out of shape... :P

I've started the Hug Challenge again, an extra daily hug is always good, so I'll keep it up over time :)
I'm thinking of introducing one-handed kettlebell swings into my strength training, to vary and make the most of the kettlebells I have, work in progress... for now I've only thought about it :LOL:
