Start of training Week 1

Very tiring.... thats all I can say.

Every part of my body needs to be reminded to work.. and has to work a part of a team. Basically for the past 4 months, I have been reduced to just running and left hand work. Right wrist having been misaligned... sigh.

I realised how ineffecive we can be after an injury because we depend too much our body being injury free. I also realised after all these months, I have been training with injuries. I ALSO realised I have an OCD.

OCD being Obessive Compulsive Disorder. I love playing online games. CabalSEA, Dungeons & Dragons Online, Secondlife, etc etc. I get totally immersed in these games and I forget to train, I forget to eat, I forget to sleep. I forget about friends. I forget about everything except I need to log in and game.

First step to getting help is recognising you have OCD. It is a scary and real problem. I am saying it now because I admit I have a problem, and I need help. My help is inclusive of reaching out to my family and my friends, and my training.

I guess I am lucky because I still have everything around me. Remember the case where the real life baby died while the Korean couple were too engrossed in their online baby? So sad :( ...........

So now I cancelled my accounts. That stopped me a few times from falling off the wagon because I admit, 1 hour after I decided to quit, I was frantically logging on again just to "make sure" everything was alright... sure. Pfft. OCD!!!!!

Now, I cannot log on. No more accounts, cannot play. I am going back to training, and hopefully things get back on track.

But I digress. Going back to training is easy, getting back to the level of competency I want is tougher, hoping to maintain it at that level and beyond is even tougher.

I am happy Seow and Thong has been asking me back for training. I will, soon enough, but not when I am not ready. There are a couple of things going on in my life right now that has a higher priority than karate training or even personal fitness. As if dealing with my OCD is not bad enough... lol

Those who know me, knows my extreme dislike for politics in martial arts. I just want to train because I enjoy fighting, gym, discussing philosophies, or just argue for the sake of arguing lol.

So now I begin my training afresh... I will be updating my blogs more often. I have lots of observation I made during haitus(spelling??) and am going to discuss them here.

Oh this morning I just went SKA and gave my right wrist a good workout... it is working again... FINALLY... yay!! I also peeked at my weight... *HOLY CR.... too much food, no exercise.. aiyah my body is like that de lar....

Now.. to get rid of my fats. I will post my weekly progress, pictures, diet and training plans. Feel free to follow along if you want and see if you can help me lose weight. :) The more people, the greater the support, the higher likeliness we will succeed together :)
