Setbacks, Bumps, and Waves

 I had a great day yesterday both at home and with getting my KungFu numbers started again.  It was embarrassing not being able to put my hand up to say I was on track with my numbers but honestly, I am not.  Darn that's hard to admit.  Some parts have been exceptionally good and other parts are not going very well lately.  I could list the excuses I have running through my head, but honestly, there is no excuse except that I found an excuse when I didn't do them.  I am struggling with that darn shoulder but I really haven't put in the work needed for it so its just another excuse. 


So yesterday, I went home and did pushups and situps and it felt good.  Did I get all my numbers in, no I didn't so I did some more before bed but it was still not enough.  I made myself a promise to get up early and start again. Great intentions until you wake up at 5:30 and wonder why your water pump is running and step into a hallway of water in the basement.  Today was a very busy day of helping Mike replace the pressure tank and pump, rewiring and replumbing it.  But finally at 21:00 WE HAVE WATER!  Man do you take the small things for granted!


By 17:00 (or 5 p.m. for those not subjected to that darn 24 hour clock for work LOL) I was starting to get so upset that I had not even gotten in ANY SU/PU so after 3 huge breaths I went and did some PUs so I did get some in today.  Now this was before I found that water had gotten underneath our stairs and we had to pull out all the bins before we could clean that up.  There were many times I drew upon my KungFu frequently these last few hours while hitting my breaking point.  But I would take a deep breath, ground myself and start again.  Always thinking this could be worse.  You may wonder why I would think that, well if this happened tomorrow it would be with my Mom and Dad as Mike and I are off for a week.  That would have been much worse.


So was this another setback, a bump in the road? I am worried that I have this occur only 1 day after restarting but if didn't happen today, it would just occur another day so I will deal with it.  Now I am off to do laundry, run the dishwasher, and start to pack.  See you all next week!


Have fun on the mats!
