Seven days out.

Seven days before I'm scheduled to compete in my first tournament. It was a typical Monday for me. Woke up and packed the girls' snacks and got their uniforms ready. Took the girls to school and went to work. Luckily work was busy so the day went by quickly.

I picked the girls up from school then went to get an adjustment from a new chiropractor. The adjustment was great. More about that later. I came home and ate a light snack before taking the girls to jiu jitsu class. Even though I am a white belt, I help out with the children's class. Mostly tying belts and showing the younger children what to do. Today our professor had me roll with one of the older boys that is competing this weekend also. I went easy on him, just transitioning to different positions to see what he could come up with.

I then stayed for the adults class. Our adults class is two hours long. We do warm ups and drills for the first half of the class, then we did a guard passing drill and some flow rolling. At the end of class I played a little chess with my professor.

Overall, it was a good day. I didn't get hurt. That is my main goal when I train. Not because of the upcoming tournament, but because I do not heal well these days. My nerves are not as bad after class was over. I hope the white belts at the tournament are similar to the white belts I train with. Most of them are younger and heavier than I am. I think I am making a bigger deal out of it than I should. Most of the females at my school have competed.

Well, it's getting late and I am dozing off trying to type this blog.
