I finished my requirements early today, like before Jack even woke up. I started prepping for some of my other essays with more difficult topics, like the Ki Energy essay. I also was able to hit chest day today and got a really good pump. I can still push 155 lbs for 8 reps, which is okay, but I'm working on it. my current goal is to hit 185 for reps. I'm going to a concert today and I'm super excited, cause these guys are really good, and it's why I'm journaling earlier today as well. Have a good rest of your day, bye!

I'm back today to journal about some of my experiences so far in black belt cycle. So far I'm proud of what I've done in cycle. for the first week I had to do double to the stuff because we had been away at California. after that week we got into the process of going to the Northern Regional Rec Center and did all of our stuff there. yesterday I went to a birthday party and had a lot fun but I had to go home to all the stuff that I still had to do. I did all my stuff before this journaling session and I was tired and sore from yesterday.
