New challenges

I've added two challenges to my list, after having completed zero so far this year.

I am getting hammered almost $200 a month on my credit card in interest fees, which has gotten out of control in recent years. I applied for a zero interest card from the National Bank last week so that'd give me 6 months interest free on the transferred balance, which should be enough time to kill at least half of the debt. Funny how it's snuck up on me. Not really.

I also want to beat Shane from BJJ. He's a 6'5", 120kg guy that works as a rancher. He's super strong but doesn't have much in the way of real skill. His game for the last 12 months has been just overpowering everyone other than the purple+ belts and it's annoying now. Adam's always telling him to slow the game down and not go like a bat-out-of-hell but he doesn't listen. I had him in a wicked ezekiel choke (arm behind his head, put your own hand down the opposite sleeve, slide your other hand infront of their throat) and he was gagging and gasping like I've never seen... but with his strength he just plowed through it and ripped apart my fingers that were holding the sleeve. Adam showed me a slightly better way to do the choke which I'm going to try out in about 2 hours.

    CC bills seem to be the thing of our generation :) One of my goals for this year is definitely to reduce my spending and debt. I had a fair few things to spend money on and experience last year but time to put the nose down and start being an adult I think :)
