Questions and thoughts...... This morning I woke up, played with my puppies and relaxed. I have summer camp, so I'll get my requirements completed after camp. Current biggest struggles are: 1.Essays - Where / How do I find my information? ( I've never been on a blackbelt cycle, so this is nrw. - my previous school did not have blackbelt cycles like King Tiger ) 2. Sit ups - are a struggle. I can do crunches, but those are not sit ups. I can do a sit up if my feet are under something, but that will not help while in tbe dojang. Suggestions on how to build stomach muscles so I can do my sut ups, or are crunches ok? 3. I need a mentee- I don't know any of tbe KT kiddos outside of camp, Saturday, or blackbelt. This makes getting a genteel a huge challenge for me.

Today I got up, went to the park and practiced some stick and staff forms and reviewed tbe high belt self defense in the air. It's challenging to do the real self defense on grass. After that, I came home and did my jump rope requirement. Then did some errands, took a nap, and finished up my requirements. I've found I need to spread my requirements throughout the day, because the amount has dropped, partially from being sore. I do not have any way to do my pull up requirements at home, so I'm behind in those.

I've never participated in a blackbelt cycle before. Blackbelt exam experiences at my previous school were much different. I have /will be setting a daily alarm to remind me to journal, and add my information that is needed ( once I figure out where it goes - I'll ask my mentor) I figure by the end of my cycles I'll be in the best shape of my life.
