Week 11 was a struggle. I really felt lost. Questioned everything I was doing. Thought seriously about quitting. Almost did, but went to see Sifu Brinker, and lost my resolve.
Week 12 was even worse. Ask me any part of any particular day what I want to do about the kung fu, and I could give you a totally different answer, depending on which part of the day it was. I decided to use the upcoming week off work to take some steps towards feeling more in control and making some decisions so that I have a sense of purpose and direction. I've compiled a list of decisions to be made, nagging questions to be resolved, actions to take, and issues to settle.

Week 10
It was mentioned that a Body for Life Challenge might be considered for our UBBT8 team. I am currently reading the book. I think most of us are indeed, doing most of the program already. But following the program for 12 weeks might just intensify our focus on goals and results.
As I read the book, I am making notes, as is suggested by the author. Answers to questions like the following ones have really added focus, direction and motivation. I encourage everyone to take a few minutes and write down their personal answers to the following questions.
Have I made the decision to change?
What are my reasons for making the decision to change?
When I look at myself, do I honestly like what I see?
How do I feel deep down inside?
How do I really feel about myself?
Am I confident, energetic and strong?
do you often wonder if you're on the right path?
Would you like to creat a brighter future?

Week 9
Due to A Series of Unfortunate Events this week, I did not catch up on situps and pushups and I did not attend classes.
On the bright side, I survived (I think). And I took the opportunity to catch up on my meditation minutes.
