The black belt cycle is going good. I went to my classes today and got my credits. I have noticed that when you are focusing on the big things like the 10,000 push ups it is hard to remember the little things like journal entries. I started wondering why I even had to write journal entries. So my mom asked me what I learned from writing them. I said that thinking about these entries has made me work my brain harder than its ever worked. Then I knew I had my answer. The physical requirements make me work my body harder than its ever worked and these journal entries make me work my brain harder than its ever worked. I answered my own question. The black belt cycle works the whole body, even my brain.
