Even though I’m on a holiday staycation, staying up until 1:00am is not advisable for me. I tried it twice, just to make sure, and that’s a big NOPE. That groggy morning feeling is not how I want to spend my time off, though it does remind me of college… 😜

Twitter Update: Ready
I‘m up before sunrise on a Saturday. Morning coffee is on board, as are my vitamins and some ibuprofen for good measure. I even ate breakfast. I’m wearing camouflage workout capris without socks, and it’s 28F outside.
Wish me good skills on my Krav Maga black belt test! 🥋😳
Twitter Update: On a Quest to Be My Best!
Surprised myself this morning by passing the fitness portion of my Krav Maga black belt test, despite a bad back and a bum knee.
Forearm plank: 2m21s
Push-ups: 27 in 2 mins (!!!)
Body-weight squats: 90+ in 2 mins
Much gratitude to Daniel Turner’s Karate America for pushing me to be my best! 👊🏻
