Warning: Cynicism, Bad Language, and Low Brow Prose

Dear Diary-

To the 6 foot +, 190+, blond, blue eyed-I-come-late-to-class-Captain America looking-I-am-so-gorgeous-but-I-am-in-a-huge-mid-life-crisis-I-ride a motorcycle to BJJ-leather-jacket-wearing asshole, who thinks it's appropriate to slam your knee into my side and crank my neck; FUCK YOU.

Now, my husband just asked, Do you really want to post that?  I said, Yes, yes I do.  Then he countered, but you can turn it into a good blog from there, talk about how you learned you can harness a certain amount of anger to be used well, that it was a more of a fight, not training, but THAT in itself is a learning experience...

I so admire Allie the Clear Belt for being beautifully articulate when posting her anger and frustration, and I wish I had her patience right now for that kind of early morning glass water prose, but all I can muster at this moment is the gutter.  My husband is right, there was  an element of learning in this particular roll, but I am going to sleep on it and let the REM process restore my wells of clarity.

I also owe you a post about my private with Felicia and Val (awesome), my training in general (going very well),  and the continuing Paleo process (totally dig).

Train well,
Dag

    Ooh! Does not sound good.

    Did you say "FU" to Capt. America? He may need to hear it. I would take it as his manliness would be so hurt to be beaten by you (and he fears that's a good possibility) that he has to resort to dirtiness. So, once again we see a tweaked male compliment.

    You could start coming to class in Wonder Woman gear like Julia J. Maybe then he'll see that you're on the same team.

    I love how the play by play with your husband includes "Then he countered", ha ha ha. Hey, a blog is to say how you feel, not a perfected, sanitized version of how you feel. We get a sense of your "rebound and find a lesson here" from a ton of your other posts. Every now and then you can have a good guilt-free FU post. :)

    Can't wait to hear about the private class...and I'm still trying to form the words about the experience.

    Man...that is NOT cool. Yeah...maybe let him know. He's likely going to say something in response, but it probably needs to be brought up.

    Yeah, the only two guys who SUPER pissed me off were big guys who said to me "I'm not gonna roll with you different because you're a woman."

    FUCK YOU! ROLL WITH ME DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE I'M OUT OF SHAPE AND NOT HERE TO WIN THE MUNDIALS! Douche bags.

    He he he. I like a place where I can say FUCK YOU to those guys, especially not on my blog where I try to keep it positive. Thanks for having a venting spot! ;)

    Oh that's not nice! The leather-jacket-clad Captain America, I mean. Get someone in your class to kick his ass and do the same on him!

    What I usually do is talk about my "problem teammates" with my coach. He usually deals with them. If not, I have a "BJJ assassin" teammate who is so good at what he does, and can usually put the other guys in the gym in check. At least give them a dose of what they have done to me.

    I also sometimes cry (in the shower) when I get physically hurt, just to relieve myself of the bad feelings I have.

    haha i know exactly how you feel. Maybe a week or so ago a guy slammed me while rolling and i submitted him twice but just so he caught the message once the buzzer rang i looked over at my purple belt buddy (awesome wrestler and mma fighter too) and gave him the "take care of my lightwork" look. the rest is, as we say, history. lol made me feel better at the time. sometimes you need that primal type of venting

Ramblings

Well my left calf is still laid up but definitely on the mend.  No BJJ tonight.  On the upside, I did my push-ups this morning and they are finally getting easier!  I am up to 3 sets of 20 and my final reps no longer feel like utter misery, the way my last few reps felt two weeks ago, when I was only performing 10 and 12 at a time. I can feel the strength building in my arms so when I push the last ones, there is actual, honest-to-goodness, muscle fibers firing off and doing the work.  Does this make any sense?  I am still working hard, but the work is more enjoyable because I have more efficient tools to complete the task.  Adrenalin is lovely tool, but when you are building strength in weak areas, true ability to complete an action is refreshing after two weeks of relying on guts and stubbornness. Bonus, years ago I used to work out to Tamilee Webb's Buns of Steel.  There, I said it, so what.  (what?  stop laughing).  This morning...

SWAT tryouts

Eloquence escapes me right now. Bluntness plays my gray matter like children's toy. 440m run: 79 seconds...:) Push-ups: 48...:) Sit-ups: 48...:) Pull-ups: 6..:) Obstacle Course: 4:07...:(. Needed to be under 4:00.  Almost got there but I got hung up with the final two obstacles for toooo long. I am disappointed.  and yet my undying optimism steps in like Auntie Mame.  When I started down this path in February I could hardly knock out 15 push-ups, pull-ups were a pipe dream, and my sit-ups were so so.  My 440 time?  Laughable like frozen molasses. Now.  now I have fast twitch muscle.  I can sprint.  I can work to the point of exhaustion, to the point of exhaustion, and then harness the power of adrenalin, and wield it like a sword.  I learned today however, that adrenalin can wield right back at you, and rip it's power away.  I went at this last 6-foot wall today like a blood-thirsty piranha sent from hell and my usually ...

For Ladies in the Half Century

 Gentlemen- this post will be lady centric, as I'll be discussing menopause. Ladies. Just. Say. No. Say no to feeling tired.  Say no to crappy sleep. Say no to mood swings.  Say no to "unexplained" and/or unwanted weight gain. Or, not. If you are entering your second half century and are experiencing all this, and "have accepted" it as part of the journey, then more power to you. This post may not apply to you.  But if you are like me, and upon turning 51, your body went askew, for about 2 years, consider these things...when you were a teenager, there was most likely an adult in the room to explain the process. Maybe it was your mother, a health class teacher, a school nurse, a trusted adult. Chances are you were given equipment, clothing, and products to navigate the onset of a period and herky-jerky growth spurts.  Adulthood life changes? The medical advice seems to stop at "well that's the way it is..." The changes in hormones are every bit as d...
