Which I finally get on Field Services. I have to say, it's actually kind of nice to have weekends off. Plus, I was able to go to class on Saturday AND last night! AND I went to the gym today! I think my body might rebel tomorrow morning though.
Saturday women's class:
Michelle (who needed knee surgery a few months ago) was finally back in class for the first time, which was nice--it meant that women's class was more than just me and Jess! I started us on a super-careful warm-up, and then Jess taught us the foot-in-hip guard pull, followed by a takedown from that position. There was a lot of adjusting to make sure Michelle would be able to do it, since her leg was still pretty weak.
Regular class:
We started with some quick takedowns, and then did a sweep series. It starts from getting stacked while attempting an armbar from guard, and moved on from there. We finished with some open rolling, which resulted in playing the avoid-the-n00b game.
Monday night class:
There were only six of us there, four blue belts and two white belts who were really new. After the warm-up, we started with the knee-through pass and some new details, and then moved on to the "windshield-wiper" pass (knee-through but it's the same-side knee). Finished with 3-minute rounds of open rolling, with everyone in the class, so I didn't really get to avoid the new guys. Luckily, they were fairly tame, although one guy (after multiple sweeps and triangle/armbar attempts) told me at the end, "good job." In that tone. That condescending tone, like I'm a child who he was just playing with. Eh. We'll see who plays with who next time.
On another note, I've been attempting to somewhat fix my diet as well. It's been pretty terrible lately, and consists of either me not eating real meals and making up for it with pre-packaged snacks, or the Indian version of Ramen noodles. I've decided to start packing a salad every day for lunch, which should a)get me eating vegetables again, which sort of disappeared from my diet, and b)actually get me eating lunch and not granola bars or peanut butter sandwich crackers washed down with soda.

Haha, I am in the same boat with the diet. I keep trying to get myself to make better choices but somehow I am always so rushed that I end up eating things packed with sodium and carbs and fat. lol.
