Second Degree Focus

[suzanne sanders]

I am one of the original students that started Mr. Bronson's Forms class when forms class first started.

I believe I have been doing them off and on for 13 years plus.   I was hit with an illness caused by the chemicals in our environment and it has literally taken parts of my life away.  It has also left me for my death bed a few times.  

No matter what hits with my MCS/EI I am not going to loose my focus.  I will just  move slower and not as low.  I feel awakened, alive and excited about my new push.  

I will keep my mantra that has pushed me for years.  It is a song that I sing " I feel good" by James Brown,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgDrJ5Z2rKw  

I am the little train that can and will hit my goal..

My second degree focus has begun for the summer.  My first goal is to test before Sophia :).  Sophia is reading over my shoulder and the challenge is on.  She is asking me questions about what I know.  This is going to be fun...

Today my legs were tired.  Mantis Grab was a bit challenging.  

I feel my legs were tired from my workout yesterday but also from my farm work.  Yesterday's farm work was me walking up a very steep short hill with two five gallon buckets filled up with compost.  I moved about a 1/4 of a yard of compost or more this way.  

I ended the night by doing slug patrol in the garden, which means a lot of squats.   Slug patrol made it a late night, I was in by midnight.  

 Besides an organic healthy diet sleep is also very important for muscle recovery, so I will make sure I get to bed earlier than last  night.
