Candidate Journals

today was a chill day. not much. I went to work with my dad. i 3D printed a bunch of things today. hope tomorow is more exciting.

Today was also a remote day. The work for today was lesser than yesterday, but still a good amount. Not too hard either. At practice today, I was able to help out with the younger students and also get my black belt credit in. Got a two hour delay tomorrow, which is better than nothing I guess.

Toady was ok, it was a remote day at school today which was nice. I got my work done pretty quickly and then did the requirements. I went to my friends birthday party which was really fun! We made candles, but sadly we have to wait to pick them up. Then we went to Mandolinos and I had to leave a little bit early for TKD. We got a lot done and learned bolo, which I am excited to work on lol. Tomorrow we have to go back to school, but at least it’s only a two day week! 

Today the school systems were on a two hour delay. Tomorrow, school for me will be the same as any regular day. I'm thankful that there was a 2 hour delay today because instead of waking up at 4:30 AM like I usually do on Wednesday to go for a run, I got to sleep in until 6:30 AM. School was per usual today, nothing crazy happened. I went to King Tiger for some leadership credits as well. After that I came home and did my requirements. The rest of my evening will be spent studying for my chemistry test on mole conversions and stoichiometry of empirical and molecular formulas. - Lucas

Remote Day today, so I didn't get that much schoolwork. I finished it all pretty quickly, ate lunch, relaxed, and finished my requirements. My dad and my brother are going to the YMCA after they drop me off at the dojang, so I can get some other requirements done. Tomorrow we have a 2-hour delay, so I'm happy about that, but I wish we didn't have school at all. There is still some snow, so it should've been canceled. 

So I am still doing Alexander Strong workouts today was 10 rounds 6 burpess, 12 reverse lunges I added a kettlebell here then 6 pushups followed by 12 squats with kettlebell and finally 12 situps lat pullovers. I did this and then the pelton for 30 minutes interval and arms. I am trying. 

I am going back to school today on a delay. Im excited to get back and see my friends. Im going to run after school to keep up with my miles and head to class tonight to help out. I'm still sticking with my water first thing in the morning before I have anything else.

I don't think I've ever seen so now stick around in Charlotte like this. It's really messing up my work schedule.

I’m writing this so late but I didn’t want to lose my streak. Nothing really happened today tho. I was able to run outside instead of walking so that was cool. I had way more work today so I didn’t get to start my workouts till the afternoon. I was able to take the PMA class tho and that was pretty cool. Anyway that’s it.

With the exception of miles I had a great day for requirements, good workout this morning and some more this evening when I came home. Funny how I started out just stretching some tight muscles and that led to feeling more relaxed which led to "might as well" some more push-ups, sit-ups and even some plank. Every minute counts! Hitting the gym tomorrow and getting some miles in on the treadmill...the greenway in my neighborhood is still pretty icy for the moment.  Have any of you checked your stances lately? I worked with quite a few students on theirs today and it is always good to check your basics every now and then. Hopefully tomorrow is the last day of the week that kiddos are out of school! Have a happy Wednesday!

I'm tired of all this snow and cold. I love it for a bit but its been too long. Its getting warmer and feeling much better, but I'm ready to see grass again instead of getting my socks wet everytime I go outside. I do like seeing the sun again and the roads are good now. Were finally back to regular schedule at the dojang and it feels good. Having testing last week and this weather felt really weird so hopefully were done with that for now. 

Today was a fun day. I worked a lot on my game that I am making in Roblox. Hopefully I can get it done tomorrow. It is a type of game where you get money and buy upgrades or more droppers, which is the part that drops the form of money (i.e. blocks). I already have a game tester to see if there are any bugs with the game and the reviewer. The most likely error to occur is people controlling other people's tycoons, so I will make sure to add the code to stop that from happening. After all, it will be complicated game to make. After that, I went to taekwondo. At taekwondo, I helped with the juniors, did my requirements, and took class. I was supposed to go to my basketball game, but it was cancelled, so I went home. My great uncle got my pullup bar repositioned...

Today was good. Nothing really happened. There was no school today, again. I worked on some essays, and actually got a lot done! Then we when went down town to run some errands.Then I did the requirements and played out side for a little bit. We had a snack and the relaxed. There a remote day at school tomorrow! Seems like there’s going to be another two day week! :)

Today I woke up, did my chores, and had no school again. Which I wasn't surprised. Because I haven't had school like this whole week, so yeah. Then I went to class to help out. Then after class a did a mentee session with meantem and i help out jace so after that i mde dinner for my famliy (made spicy TeriyakiChicken With rice and vegetables.) it was sooooo good.Then ate it With that.(mmmmmmmmm yummy.And that was a day peace. 

Nothing much. I want and worked with my dad and overall chill day. me and my family watched a movie 

Woke up ate breakfast played in the snow did the remote work played on the snow again. And did the sae project for ag and ran at the track.

school is remote for another day. These past weeks I had barely been going at all. Today though I finished all my schoolwork work, and went to taekwondo where I did my  leadership and class assistance . Nothing much for today 😆

Today is Tuesday I had virtual school, I had to get onto zoom meetings so I could do all of my school work. After I finished with my school work I played games and worked out, then I went to TaeKwonDo helped out with class and did a mentee session. After all of that I came home, ate dinner, and took a bath.

Today was a remote school day. I feel like my teachers assign a lot more things to do when we are at home than when we are at school. I had about 4 hours of schoolwork today. Luckily my school is on a 2 hour delay tomorrow, I think a lot of schools in the area are doing the same thing. A bit later in the afternoon, I knocked out my requirements.  I did not really do much else for the rest of the day. I am kind of happy we are going back to school tomorrow because it is quite boring when you do not have much to do for the day. - Lucas  

Today was a boring day.  I stayed at home and did my school work and requirements.  I led and assisted with a class and that was fun today.

I hope everyone is having a good week! I had e-learning today and that was fine, just ready to get back into school and a normal schedule! Theres a 2 hour delay tomorrow so that's nice. I got lots of requirements done today and enjoyed some relaxation by watching Grey's Anatomy! Just taking the week day by day and getting through it. Karen Salmansohn once said, "Strength grows in the moments when you think you can't go on but you keep going anyway." Good night! ~ Peyton

Today was ok, I woke up to do some work for remote learning, at least its something to do. After that I relaxed all day, later I after dinner I ran 2 miles and did my requirements. Have a good night:3

Today moved in slow motion. With school cancelled again tomorrow, the whole day had this quiet, in‑between feeling. I still knocked out my requirements like usual, just kind of drifting from one thing to the next. I even made some progress on an essay, which honestly felt good to clear off my plate. Most of yesterday’s snow finally started melting, so everything looked a little less frozen and a little more slushy. I also had a mentor session (THANKS MASTER WEEKS :> ) and later helped out with the Senior Tigers. Leading the kicks definitely snapped me out of that autopilot haze. The rest of the day stayed pretty chill (SORRY I HAD TO I BETTER STOP LOL) :> Hope everyone’s staying warm and pushing through. Good luck with the rest of the cycle! — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷ ( •̀ ω •́ )y 🍵

Today was pretty uneventful. I got to sleep in because school was off and I got a lot more work done on my essays. After lunch I went downtown with my family to run some errands. When I got back I made cookie sandwiches. They are so good :D I didn’t go to KT today so I just did my requirements and relaxed. I’m happy because school is remote tomorrow so it looks like we’re going to have another two day week. Stay warm everyone!

Today I woke up late and just played monopoly the whole day. Then I just went outside and played with ice for a while and and then went to tae kwon do. I also set a reminder for me to so my journal because for some days I keep forgetting!

Day 31: Another day off! Today when I woke up, I saw lots of melted snow outside and it was only 23 degrees! When I did my remote learning, it was pretty easy and I got to play some games after that! I helped shovel some ice, too! Then, I did some practice and ate dinner, then went to bed. Have a good day guys!

Today was a good day. I had a remote day agian so I got all of that done and eas able to go to the gym all before lunch where I ran a mile. After I did my physical requirements and worked on poomsaes and self defence for a while. After I went to the modified 6:15 class where I helped out.

I had elearning today, and I made a snowman outside. His name is Bartholomew Olafsen Svan III of Snowington. I did my requirements, and then practiced piano. Now I'm going to study. I've got three unit tests for when I come back for school... high school. Then I'm going to head over to KT in the snow.

it is fun talking to my northern friends when I tell them it is 14 degress F here in Charlotte, My friedn in Upper Darby PA was in the 30's while on the phone with him yesterday. Go figure the south is colder than the north. Stay warm friends and see you on the mat.

we are on remote learning again. I did sleep in, got started on my requirements and then school work. Hopefully if my dad finished work early we are going to go to Dave and busters to play games. I have stated mu nutritional challenge and it's that I have to drink water first. So I must start with water then If I choose something after I can but must start with water.  Then I will see everyone at class tonight.

Today was another good day. I'm glad that the roads seemed to be a bit better so that we could make it to taekwondo. From the time I got up until we left for 4pm class, I got to work on my coding which was nice, especially since I wasn't able to use my computer AT ALL since Thursday. I got a lot accomplished on this prototype tycoon that I'm working on, but I still have a way to go before I can publish it on Roblox. We didn't do much overall today, didn't even go outside until class started. Tomorrow, we have another remote learning day which is nice. And I'm supposedly going to have my makeup basketball game from LAST Saturday... even though we also missed our game 2 days ago too. We'll see how that goes. Aside from all of that, I got to do a mentor lesson...

Had a lot of homework to do today. Really spent most of the day doing that + my requirements. I also ran 2 miles today, but the cold was insane. But practice was fun today, got in some good work. Anyways, I’m just hoping the work tomorrow is a little tamer.

My day was good I slept in then I went to chick fil a for breakfast. Then I got home did some work and was going to work out chest but it hurts because of all the push ups I’ve been doing lately.

Today was a good day ran two miles me and my dad spent awhile shoveling out the driveway getting the snow off the cars and breaking the ice nothing else really happened this week I filmed by blackbelt class video I have to fix my self defense and step instead of sliding anyways peace

Schools were out today so.we had kids in the building, I really didn't have a lot to do.with them as I was catching up on office work. That's unusual but I'm sure that I will be with them tomorrow. Had a great session of weapon work with Instructor Peyton. And as usual we had a list of questions to ask...poor Master Chelley, she probably wanted to shut the office door😂 Seriously though, if you are really watching yourself and your fellow black belts as we are working through our curriculum and you see they do something differently...ask a question, verify who is correct or if a technique has changed some. I have questions all of the time, it's just one more way to learn. Have a good night and a happy Tuesday!

Another Monday which sucks, but wait we have a remote day. Pretty thankful for the snow because we hadn’t been going to school for a bunch of days now. Tomorrow is also remote which I’m happy. Today though I finished all my schoolwork and went to taekwondo where I did class assistance and leadership. Then I got all my requirements in and I am probably going to work on another essay for tomorrow. That’s mostly it for today.

I've decided to start the diet challenge today. I chose to only eat food that isn't processed for the challenge. Not sure what to expect but I know that staying away from food that was made artificially is going to help my body a lot. We only had three classes today so none of our families have to drive home late. The roads are still bad and many areas are not safe to go fast on. I've got to drive tomorrow to work so not really looking forward to it. 

Today was also BORING, I sat at home all day and did nothing but lay in bed and do requirements, also run on the treadmill.

Today was a good day.  I got some of my remote school work done for tomorrow.  I did my requirements and played in the snow.  Now I’m chilling with my family watching American Idol because it’s letting me stay up late.

Today was kinda on autopilot. School was cancelled — and apparently it’s cancelled tomorrow too — so the whole day felt weirdly quiet. I still did my requirements like usual, just moving through everything without really thinking about it. Uhhh I also worked on a few of my essays, which was actually nice to get out of the way. The snow from yesterday was still around and seems like it won't melt anytime soon.. The rest of the day was chill (SORRY I HAD TOO) :> Hope everyone’s staying warm and hanging in there. Good luck with the rest of the cycle! — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷ ( •̀ ω •́ )y 🍵

I feel like the last week has been the same schedule; school (whether it be remote or in person), BBC requirements, then work, repeat. While, I'm tired everyday and have lots to do, I'm just kind of bored of doing the same old things over and over again. Anyone else feeling this way too? I hope something changes in the next week or so because its getting kind of old. I hope everyone had a good start to the week. Keeping working ahead on requirements and essays! ~ Peyton

Today was good we had no school but there was remote learning which sucked but after i was done i went to taekwondo and got a mentor session in

Day 30: The ice bites the dust! Today, when I checked outside, almost all the ice was gone but the black ice was still there! most of the snow has not melted because of the low temperatures. I did my martial arts practice, ate a lot of food, too, and played in the snow! But its not all happy, because I had to take out some ice that stuck to the ground! The worst part? One person in our neighborhood went missing! She was a girl just above toddler. I don't know if they found her yet, but at least its not my sister that is missing. Have a awesome day, everyone!

Today was super fun. There was no school so me and my sisters went sledding with one of their friends. She took us to a golf course and the hills were so good. We were sledding for hours out there. It was so fun but it was also very tiring at the end. When we got back we relaxed and ate some snacks before heading to KT. There weren’t many people there because of all the snow and ice still on the ground. No school again tomorrow so I can stay up late watching American Idol! :D Stay safe everyone!

Today was pretty good! There was no school today which was nice, and there’s was still a lot of snow! We went out with my friend again, and this time my sisters came. We all had lunch and then we went sledding on a really good hill, which was really fun and tiresome. Then when we got home we relaxed for a little bit and then when to TKD. There was not a lot of people there so it was pretty chill. Now we are getting ready to watch American Idol and relax. :)

Today was a decent day. Although Monday was canceled agian which isn't ideal because my mentee is only able to come Mondays. Besides from that though It was pretty good, I worked on my physical requirements for a bit and did some more stretching but it's still to icy to run a mile outside so I'll have to get back on that soon.

Today, school got called off. Instead of doing my requirements first in the day, I decided to do everything that I needed to do that was school related first. After a couple hours of schoolwork from home, I did all the daily requirements. School got called off for tomorrow as well. I kind of hope that school gets called off tomorrow because it is really boring not doing much for the whole day. The gutters on my house have some crazy icicles hanging from the gutters. I think the biggest one I saw was about 3 feet long. I really didn't expect to see huge icicles hanging from the gutters. The rest of my day was pretty laid back. - Lucas  

We had a remote day today and were having another tomorrow thank god. I did my physical requirments early after I got all my school work done. School work was easy too we barely got anything new. Then me and my mom went on a 2 mile walk so I could get some miles in. Hopefully it’s better outside tomorrow so I can actually run. Anyway that’s it.

I have remote learning today for school. I am still trying to finish my work, and I started at 9:30 AM. I swear, we always have more work whenever we aren't at school. Anyways, I am really bored and too tired to go play outside in the snow. All of these workouts for my requirements are really tiring, and my head hurts sometimes. I am still going to persevere and not give up. Later, I am going to finish my physical requirements and hopefully go to class if I am fine. I hope we have school off tomorrow because of the snow, and I think we are getting even more snow on Wednesday. Not completely sure. 

Good morning, I got to sleep in before I started my remote work for school. Got caught up logging my requirements and doing them for the day. Hopefully we will have class tonight so I can get out of the house.

Today was a good day. I had to clean the snow off the car and driveway but I was able to ride my sled, build a snowman and had a snow fight with my parents. Even though it was fun, it was also tiring. After all that, I still had to work on my requirements.

Kept things pretty chill today. Mostly did work around the house and played video games. If there’s still snow tomorrow, I might go sledding with a couple of my friends.

My day was boring there wasn’t really  much to do I just cleared the drive way of snow and at night I worked out arms 

Well it sure did snow and I forgot to post yesterday. I know I cannot use it but I wish I could count shoveling the snow off of  the driveway and sidewalk as part of my exercise.

Today was kind of boring. In the morning it was a little fun though. The snow had gardened kind of, so we sled and stuff. But in the afternoon it was kind of boring because I wasn’t in the mood to play in the snow anymore because I had already played for 3 hours. So I went to my friends house snd played monopoly and then just stayed home the rest of the day. 

Woke up, clean, dressed played in the snow play board games. What to my friend house and went tubing

Today is Sunday I played in the snow with my family and dogs, then I played some video games, did a wrestling work out  and watched The Lost Boys with my parents. All of that made me feel very tired.

Pretty boring day. I had stayed up late last night to finish two of my essays, but I ended up waking up early to do my requirements. Since I was so tired I went back to sleep and didn’t get up till 5pm. I didn’t go outside either sadly but maybe the snow will slightly be there tomorrow. Anyway that’s all.

Today was a quiet day, some decluttering around the house, some poomsae and self-defenses. My cold.was on it's way out but it appears to have taken a left turn at my sinuses. Ugh. We are open tomorrow for care so I will be carefully creeping on down the road. My husband cleared off my driveway today, just a little too much for the sun to do like it did last week.  Hope everyone came through the snow safely, had some fun and is staying warm. Tomorrow is back to work day. See you on the mat!

Today was good the snow was really deep today and it finally stopped snowing so we could go outside without getting snowed on but me, my brother, and my friend had a snowball fight and went sledding down a giant hill so it was good and its the first of the month so February now

Today was good! There was still a lot of snow which was fun. In the morning I made some cookies for my new skill, and they turned out actually pretty good! Then later in the day I play with my friend. We got Starbucks and they we went snowing on a really good hill. Now we are watching a movie! :)

Today was nice because we were able to sleep in again. I was really looking forward to being able to go outside and maybe make a snowman today. My mom and I went outside, and I got to sweeping the snow around to make a mini soccer field. We realized that the snow wasn't making snowballs easily, so we decided to not do the snowman. We instead decided to try and clear our driveway off which was a lot of work and took longer than expected. Thankfully though I was able to use up a lot of my 12 hours of no electronics in the process. I also worked on finishing up this Lego gum ball machine toy that we got a week or so again. Busy work is nice when you can't leave the house. I also went ahead and did my remote learning homework for tomorrow to get that...

I finally got to sleep in this morning! I love Sundays. I pretty much just relaxed for most of the day. But I did make lunch for my family and made a big dent on my essays. I also spent some time in the snow… clearing it off the driveway and playing in it too. Now we’re watching a movie all together and because of the snow school is off tomorrow so I’m looking forward to having some time. Hope everyone has a great week! 

Toady was pretty good. I woke up and made myself some waffles for breakfast. After breakfast I did my laundry and helped my dad clean the washing machine since something clogged it. After that I had lunch and player with my friends for a bit. By the time it was dinner I was starving and I ate the curry my mom made. I’m about to sleep now and am not excited for e-learning tomorrow.

Second day of snow went okay. I'm kind of done with the cold and looking forward to spring already. As I expected school is virtual tomorrow so I won't have to drive anywhere. I'm not fully comfortable with driving in these road conditions but at the same time I do find it fun. Luckily we got the roads in our neighborhood cleared out faster than last week since its not icy and compact. 

Today was kinda on autopilot. The snow from yesterday was still around, but it melted just enough to make everything look messy instead of pretty. I got my requirements done and practiced the lower belt forms, but I skipped the run — the snow was basically my excuse and I didn’t fight it. The rest of the day was chill. I read a little, finished what I needed to, and just tried to stay warm. Nothing crazy, just a simple day with leftover winter vibes. Hope everyone’s staying warm and hanging in there. Good luck with the rest of the cycle! — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷ ( •̀ ω •́ )y ✨  

Today was also a bit boring. I woke up did NOTHING at ALL, watched yt all day, then later ran a mile and did my requirements.

Another snow chill day today. I went sledding and walked another mile. Too much snow everywhere. I did my requirements, built a snowman with my sister and had early dinner. And found out tomorrow is remote day :)

Today was a chill snow day.  I played in the snow and played with my friends.

Today was a good day. It was more of a recovery day, although I still did all my requirements just not the mile. After I went out in the snow the came back and did some stretching.

chill day. i watched two movies with my dad and played in the snow. I had a fun chill day. overall 9/10. :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

It felt really good to sleep in this morning! I got up and went for a walk with my family. Then we all shoveled the driveway together and had some lunch. We relaxed with a movie and then I got to work on my requirements. I'm trying to take advantage of the snow days by getting ahead on requirements when I can. Today was day 10/30 for my no sweets challenge. I think I'm doing better, I'm not craving them a lot anymore even though I would love to munch on some chocolate right now! Stay safe and warm. Keep working hard everyone! Have a great start to the week! ~ Peyton

Day 29: The army of snowmen! Today, I apparently did mostly nothing today because of all the snow. We built a bunch of snowmen! First, we made one in our backyard! It looked mostly like a mountain but it was unique! The second one we built was with our friend! Then, we built another snowman at the same place and took some wonderful photos! A fourth snowman along with some other cool creations was built by our next door neighbors! They also built a castle, and a fifth snowman, and a giant snowball. Speaking of snowball, I played a snowball fight with my other friends and played indoors, too. After that, I did my martial arts practice, watched a manga series, and ate some dinner! We did not have school tommorow, so I  stayed up then went to bed. have fun with the snow before it Melts guys!

Today I woke up early and got my run over with. I am 3 minutes away from my goal of running less than 30 minutes for 4 miles. I finished up the rest of my requirements relatively early. The cycle has gotten more intense with an increase in minutes for everything. At about 10 in the morning my parents told me I was shoveling the snow off the driveway. That took a lot longer than I thought. We ended up getting roughly 9 inches of snow; that has to be some kind of record. This will make day 2 of my nutrition challenge, I am eating 100 percent natural foods, nothing that has been in through factory, has chemicals, or fake sugars. One difference I can already tell is my energy level has been a lot higher than usual. Its almost like the food humans were meant to eat, serve us...

Today is a snowy day and I love it dont know if y'all do but it is really fun and cold.Me and my friend denim went outside to play in the snow because why not you know.

my dad is  going to take me sledding and I'm going to make a jump and fly like a bird. I already got my requirements from class yesterday so this is a fun day for me.

I practiced some taekwondo and then I went outside and walked around in the snow. It was super cold outside and I slipped a bunch of times.

My dad was boring I didn’t do much I just did some personal work then I practiced some takwando and worked out 

Today was a good day.  It snowed 10 inches the last time I checked.  The best part was riding my electric dirt bike in the snow and playing with my dog.

Today started off pretty normal… until it wasn’t. It actually snowed and I'm not saying a little. This was way more than what I remembered! even from 2018, and honestly, I haven’t seen this much snow in years. Once I got over the surprise, I ended up recording my videos and uploading them to the group (which was definitely out of my comfort zone, but hey, it’s done now). After that, I knocked out my requirements, read for a bit, and finished the rest of my work. Overall, a pretty productive day wrapped in a whole lot of snow. Hope everyone’s staying warm and doing well. Good luck for the rest of the cycle! — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷  (≧∇≦)ﾉ ❄️        

today was great i've never had this much snow where i live so thats wild and me and my friend were just outside in the snow a lot and now shes spending the night here so its a double score 

Today was a good day played in the snow and shoveled it out of the driveway probably gonna have to do it again tomorrow also did my blackbelt video im gonna have too work on my self defense and staff form maybe I should try it in the snow anyways peace

Today was a winter storm today. I got up this morning to go to Black Belt class but our street was covered with snow. So I was able to go back to bed and later got up and ate, and watch the snow fall. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day so I am glad I was able to get some rest today.

It has never snowed this much down in Charlotte In my entire life. I woke up and it was around 2 inches, it’s 10 when I’m writing this and it’s up to 10 inches where I’m at. After I didn’t my requirements me and my brother went outside and sledded down the hill and did other snow stuff for a couple hours, then came inside for lunch. Then I got some school work done and now I’m watching the golden knights game while writing another one of my essays. Anyway I hope this snow doesn’t melt too soon cause we didn’t finish our snowman.

Today was boring because it snowed and I didn't get to go anywhere, and when I say it snowed I mean IT SNOWED. So all I did was sit at home and I did record the videos for the credit for the weekend black belt class. Then I just stayed home and played on my pc all day. Later I did my requirements.

I went to class this morning on the snow!! Had an awesome black belt class got requirements done for 2 days. Then went home and enjoyed the snow witj my family and friends. It was an amazing amount of snow here! 

Today was great! There’s was SOO much snow! When we woke up everything was white. We were out side for the whole day, we built a ramp on our stairs which was great for sledding! We also made an outside fire and make snow hot dogs which were really good. In the evening I did the requirements and had a snack. It never did stop snowing, so hopefully the snow sticks until tomorrow! ❄️❄️❄️

This is the best snow day I have ever seen. I'm so glad its good snow and not ice. I slipped and fell on my butt within five minutes of being outside in it. Luckily I didn't have anywhere to go so no driving in the snow for me. Maybe it would be fun to drive around the neighborhood and test the traction. Hopefully my school opens back up early next week. I only have class on Mondays and Wednesdays so I haven't been back and I need to. Our cat and dog hated being outside today. The dog is a toy poodle who is slightly less than a foot tall, and my brother took her outside and put her in the snow to see what would happen. All you could see was her head poking out and she ran back inside after that. I think it'll be done snowing tomorrow...

Today I woke up with tons of snow around the house so I was unable to attend to Taekwondo. However, I showed my black belt poomsae and self defense on BB website to get the credit. Master Evins was able to show me the #6 self defense. Then I worked on my requirements and I walked my dog 1 mile, i am tired and sleepy. Good night!

Another snow day today! This time, it was much larger and less icy. Besides hanging out outside, I mostly spent the day doing requirements and my tutoring. Hoping that this snow continues so we don’t have to go to school lol.

Today was a good day. I woke up then recorded my Poomsae and self defence for BBC credit. After I did my physical requirements and practiced some more on my Poomsae and self defence then stretched.

Wow, so much snow outside. I played outside with my friends for almost 2 hours, and my whole body was numb. We went sledding on a hill, threw snow at each other, and did some other stuff. I also ran a mile outside, and it was my slowest mile yet, because I could barely move my feet out of the 6-inch snow. I finished my daily requirements and took a video of myself doing my self-defense and poomsae to get a BBC Credit. I feel stronger than I was at the beginning of the cycle, and I can also see the difference. I am really glad of my progress and happy that the Cycle is almost one month in.

Today was a really fun day. First I woke up, and saw out of my window, and I was stunned. It was like the whole world turned white because it was snowing like crazy. Then, almost the whole day was me trying to animate a 1st person roller coaster in this software called blender. I needed to submit this to my club in school. Then after I finished it, I went outside and thought the snow would be like a week ago, but the snow was wayyyyyy bigger and deeper. It was like the world wanted to go to sleep and it took a big white blanket. Then I went to play in the snow. Then I went inside, watched a movie and that was my day

This morning my mom woke me up early when she went to feed my dog. As soon as she said it had been snowing, I JUMPED out of bed and went to go see. I spent a lot of my time off of my electronics today so I could focus on doing my (2) 12 hours without them for my essay, so today was a good day to do that. Instead, I was outside devising a way to clear the snow path. Unfortunately, it kept obviously getting covered back up but it still made for a lot of fun. My dog has a snow jacket that we put on him each time he went outside. Earlier this morning, the snow wasn't too bad, but by dinner time, he was nearly up to his belly in snow. I worked to clear a path for him to use when he goes to the...

What a snow day! When I got up this morning there was practically a blizzard happening outside. It’s crazy, as long as I’ve lived here NC has never had this much snow. It literally didn’t stop all day 😆 Outside we did a lot of good sledding and watched as the inches of snow increased all the way up to 11 inches by the end of the day! I hope everyone had a good time in the snow and enjoys the rest of their weekend :)

Weeks 5-8 of BBC are going to feel like the hardest and longest weeks of your life, at least for me they do. Most of the requirements will max out, the essay deadlines will start approaching, school will get busy, life will get busy, and you will still have the same amount of time in a day to get things done. But after these four weeks, its all downhill. So...embrace the challenge, enjoy the small victories like the snow and going out with your friends, because its going to be hard but if you make it past this you will feel really proud of yourself on the other side. Have a great weekend! ~ Peyton

Day 28: A very big snow day as if I was buried under concreate! Today I felt so good because snow was here and it was amazing! I played all day, ate some snow mixed with soda, made a snow cave, made a snowman, and made snow angels! After that, I took some pictures with my family and we mostly stayed inside but we also went outside a lot. I did some martial arts practice and ate my dinner, then went to bed. Have a good weekend!

Well I messed up I do about 100 pushups, 100 situps and 100 squates a day, take Sundays to rest sometimes but I have alwasy done total not minutes and jsut realized I am done with pushups already beacuse I have done the log in wrong, I did not do 100 minutes of pushups. lol  I will fix it soon. 

Trekked through the snow this morning to get to Black belt class and what a crate black belt class we had. It was such a great start to my day. Then I got to come home and play in the snow with my dog and my son and have the best Saturday ever!

Today feels like we are in the middle of a blizzard. When I went to class this morning, snow was already accumulating. there was only about an inch or 2 on the ground. Right now I would say there is about 7 inches of snow on the ground. It is supposed to keep up like this until late tonight. The snow feels like powder, it is so soft. Anyways, I started the 30 day nutrition challenge. My plan is to cut out all artificial flavors and sweeteners, along with unhealthy frozen foods. So I guess that means I am only eating 100 percent natural foods, nothing processed. It might be more difficult than I would think because I can't just go heat something up in the microwave, I actually have to make every meal. I hope all goes well and everyone stays safe and warm through the storm.
