JULES’ TRAINING & DIET DIARY FLEXIBILITY, STABILITY AND CLEANSE PHASE WEEK 3 APR 26 – 28





"Each man binds himself; the fetters are ignorance, laziness, pre-occupation with self, and fear. He must liberate himself, while accepting the fact that we are of this world, so that in summer we sweat; in winter we shiver."
                                                                       Bruce Lee



THURSDAY APR 26: Another beautiful sunny day in Toronto. Early part of the day go cancelled out for me, so hung outside in the yard with the dogs. Started day Smudge, Lying Series Yoga & Meditation. Extended Stretching. Abbreviated Body weight Workout- 2 Sets each of: Standard Push Ups, with Hanging Scapular Rotations, with Pistol Squats/ Negative Only Chins with Deep Bar Push Ups and Side Pistol Squats. Did some deep stretching and then Kickwork. Partial Fast. Dog Run to gym. Outdoor workout with Matt. Gave me a chance to be a little more active and be outside, whish I love. Home to Break Fast & hang out with dogs. Back to gym. Stopped eating by by 9 pm. Walked Momo with Iaijutsu Cutting Practice. TV and old Zatoichi movie to wind down. Included Iaijutsu Draw and Breathe.
FRIDAY APR 27: Shaky night with very little sleep. Today started out as an active rest day. Smudge. Lying series Yoga. Then I had an intake point with a new Therapist. Still seeking help with PTSD. She was wonderful and it was a wonderful session, but it was draining for me to talk about my past with as much honesty as I could muster. Had a lot of support from a friend. Diet wasn’t great, but didn’t over eat and stopped by 8 pm. Beginning of Fast. Walk Momo with cutting practice. Finished off the night with Iaijutsu Drawing and Breath Practice. Then yet another Zatoichi movie to wind down.
SATURDAY APR 28: Got very little sleep. Restless, woke up early & couldn’t fall back. Decided to make the rest of it. Smudge. Started day with Dog Run to Townson Fitness. Seated Series Yoga. Extended stretch. Iaijutsu Draws for speed and power: Mei, Front. Migi, Right. Hidari, Left. Reverse Grip. Reversed hand Draws. A few clients. Been avoiding any type of over the counter pain killers or anti-inflammatories, during this phase because I was using so many during the Shingles outbreak. Today was a real challenge. But I did do it. Had another Stretch Workout followed by more Iaijutsu work. Completed the work on the various draws. One more person. Then home to a healthy diet. Stopped eating by 9 pm. Walked Momo with Cutting Practice.  Iaijutsu Draw & Breathe. Read to wind down.

a rose by many other names

Image
her name was probably not rose. she had changed her name so many times over the many years that i knew her that i could not recall her original name or if i had ever known it. i had known her since i was a kid on the rez. she was older. enough for me to see her as an adult.  and almost every time I ran into her she was going by a different name. rose was just the first one i remember hearing. she wasn’t beautiful. her presence didn’t carry the weight that beautiful people do when you’re young. i once heard a guy her own age refer to her as pig face and that was pretty close to the truth. i did not feel the sadness that i do now on reflection that simply because she had not been born the lucky winner of the lottery of beauty that she was so easily dismissed, not just by others, but by me. she wasn’t particularly kind. but then I doubt that she was dealt much kindness in her life. she wasn’t funny or charming or crazy enough to be frightening. she was just this older gir...

faller Chapter 7 Suckers

Image
There’s a sucker born every minute. Every single fucking minute. The wife doesn’t like it when I swear. She keeps a swear jar at home. I put money in every day even though we’re never going to have kids to give the money to. She’s a good woman. She’s entitled to her delusions, after all I put her through. I never mention that the jar doesn’t really have a point. Every day I put money in and it just stays there. It just sits there. We go to church every Sunday and she holds my hand, and I’m just glad that she stayed with me all these years. She knows who I am. She knows the kinds of things that I do. She knows all about me. I never lie to her. I don’t talk about the things that I do and she never asks, but I never lie to her. She knows. And still she stays. Still she loves me. So let her have her swear jar that gets so full of money that neither one of us will ever touch, that gets so full of money that I keep having to buy bigger and bigger swear jars, and ...

Why People Got Disease

Image
Why People Got Disease This is not a Mohawk story. This is a Cherokee story. It’s a good story though. An important story. It’s about when the first People showed up on Turtle Island. It’s about why we have disease and sickness. How when those first People showed up they got on the other animals’ nerves. How they didn’t respect the other animals and didn’t respect the earth, so the other animals got together around the sacred fire and decided to do something about it. We like to think that some People are better than other People but as far as animals are concerned People all have to be taught respect. People have to be taught how to behave. People need something to keep them from crowding the planet and doing nothing but harm. Back near the beginning of People they hadn’t learn to respect the earth or respect their animal cousins so all the other animals got together and decided to do something about it. They gathered in a circle around a sacred fire and passed...
