Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Nearly a year since I last posted anything on this blog...After the tournament, my Sifu and kung-fu brother were pushing me to go for my next level testing. It was about time for me to take considering I've been a 4th lvl white crane practitioner for about 5 years. After a lot of practice, dedication, commitment, and focus, I'm finally a 5th lvl white crane student and one of the highest certified white crane students under Sifu Ngu. I have to admit...it felt GREAT to finally move forward and learning new things LOL!

It's now nearing the end of March which means  i have a little over 4 months to get ready for the tournament in July. I assume it'll be bigger this year considering it'll be the qualifier for the following Lei Tai World Championship in Malaysia. I've slowly started to increase my training intensity lvl by adding more sparring sessions, adding more strength training and cardio. Although i'm not ready to give up on my loose diet just yet... I just ENJOY FOOD TOO MUCH!!!! But I know, it'll have to go soon which saddens me :( No more fast food, or glutenous desserts, drenched gravy poutines, saucy pizzas, juicy burgers, or chocolate rich cakes :(

The only comfort that i have is knowing that this nutritional plan is only temporary and that once the tournament is over, i can go back to having a care free nutritional plan :)
