'Cliff Notes' To Level Up Your Health & Happiness
If something in your body could improve even 50% over a few days ... what would you choose for that to be?
How I prepare for today’s belt test…
Well, let me preface this with the reality of wanting and doing… While I’ve been anticipating this test for a while I can’t say I’m as physically prepared and in as great of shape as I’d like to be.
I would have liked to have been doing sit ups, kicks and kata’s daily.. Going forward I need to hold myself to that because these tests are always so hard I feel like I’m going to vomit.
But that’s me. I push myself so hard and make sure my sensi know’s I deserve this next belt.
Now because I didn’t physically prepare myself like I really would have liked…
I’ve been more specific on when and what I’m eating and how much I’m drinking …
For the Food:
Today I made sure I ate the majority of my protein before 4pm (my test begins at 7:30pm). This means I actually started eating before I usually do. I enjoy breaking my fast around 10 or 11am and generally eat my last meal at 6. Well, last night I realized I ate far too close to class and that didn’t was not good for the belly!!!
So by 4 I should be done digesting my bowl of venison. I eat a simple diet, did I ever mention that?
Today’s meals included:
2 eggs on a gluten free English muffin with siracha.
A protein shake with water. I love this one here because it provides me extra vitamins and minerals along with 20grams of protein. It’s light, not heavy flavor which I appreciate and digests easily. I generally use almond milk but I didn’t have any made so water it was.
I also drank one of my fav. beverages
Ningxia sparkling water mix:
2-4 oz Ningxia Red
1 Nitro
12 oz sparkling water (be sure there aren’t any nest additives)
If you check out that link, above and here you'll see the incredible benefits and at the bottom of the link you’ll find some clinical studies, if you’re a nerd like me you’ll love to read them !
The nitro I add for my brain. A belt test isn’t just endurance you have to be sharp with your brain because body exhaustion will kick in and the brain needs to stay strong so I remember the steps to my kata and of course to block!!!!
I”ll also take an another right before I start the test because it has B’s in it it’ll act similar to a pre workout .
I also ate a protein bar at some point in the day
And finished up with that bowl of ground venison.
I like to keep it simple due to the digestive struggles I’ve had for what feels like an enternity and are only increasing in my perimenopausal years.
For the supplements and oils.
My hips were acting up last night and at times this is a huge struggle with intense pain... the last thing I want is for them to impede my ability for this test.
So about an hour before the test I put on deep relief, wintergreen & blue relief (the Japanese version of panaway sans wintergreen) so basically I used panaway and deep relief.
Then I practiced some kata and took Mila for a walk to begin warming up my body. I stretched before we left and well thats that ….
Wish us luck!
There are 10 of us testing and giving it all we’ve got!
