Happy Easter!

Looking forward to a special meal tomorrow ... Easter will allow for me to enjoy a FREE MEAL of roasted lamb, braised veggies, salad, and some red wine ... I won't be going overboard tomorrow for Easter is also Day 84 of my 9th BFL Challenge.

Intend to enjoy an 'active rest' between challenges ... Will start another on April 4th ... I have learned a lot about myself over the past couple of years while living a much improved lifestyle ... I started my first challenge soon after my old college roommate, Greg Kogut, first introduced me to Bill Phillips' book ... It is only fitting that he and I will enter this next challenge together as virtual workout buddies.

Change of subject ...

Today I took and passed my 2nd kyu test in aikido. This is a key 'landmark' along the way to earning that black belt. During one's 2nd kyu test you must demonstrate a mastery of ten techniques, show that you can disarm an armed attacker, and conclude your test in randori (a multiple man attack) ... Today was a good day!

There's still much study and practice ahead.
Happy Easter!
