Almost there, but not quite

Well, I didn't quite reach my goal for February: I got down to 208.0. Goal for the end of March: 203.0. Still going to shoot for 5 pounds.

In what seems like a defeatist move, I've yanked my gym membership for 3 months. I plan to go back in June. Works going to start getting crazy soon, and, honestly, I'm getting slightly burnt out on Krav. I didn't really expect myself to say that. It's great exercise, but I've got to work my way back up into shape. I've been sick a couple of weeks off and on, and that's interfered with my workouts. For now, I'm going to focus on my time at the park in the middle of the day, and then doing a less intense (than Krav) workout at home, starting every other day, working back up to every day.

My last Krav class was Thursday, February 24. It was mostly sparring—a good note to go out on. I got my fair share of bruises, and pretty much got the crap beat out of me, but I did have one good take down on a guy that's like the Energizer bunny.

I feel a sense of relief after pulling my membership. I think I will be ready for it again in a few months. It was tough, but I did enjoy it. It just eventually got to be too much for me. Besides, work's going to get crazy for a few months, and there's no point in paying for a membership when I won't be able to make it to class regularly.

I'll just have to stay super motivated to work out on my own at home. I think I can do this.

Take care, and have a happy March!
